Here are some of the more important numbers from South Africa's win against Zimbabwe:
1973 - the last time a four-day Test match was hosted, which was between New Zealand and Pakistan in Auckland.
907 - the amount of balls bowled in the Test, the fewest in 50 years since a Sharjah Test between Pakistan and Australia, which only lasted 893 balls.
9th - shortest completed Test match.
68 - is the lowest Test innings total for a team in 2017 and 4th lowest Test innings total for Zimbabwe.
5th - Test to end within 2 days in the last 50 years.
2nd - Test that South Africa have managed to win in 2 days after their Newlands triumph over Zimbabwe in March 2005.
2012 - was the last time Morne Morkel took a five-wicket haul in Test cricket. It came at the Adelaide Oval against Australia.
380 - runs for Aiden Markram from his last four innings, the fifth most by any batsman.
205 - catches for AB de Villiers in Tests (101 as a wicket-keeper, 104 as a fielder). He is the third South African to complete over 200 catches.
4 - De Villiers is tied for second in most dismissals by a stand-in wicket-keeper in a Test innings, behind Pakistan's Imrul Kayes with 5 dismissals in 2017.

4th - time South Africa have bowled out an opposition for under 70 in Test cricket in the last 10 years.
72.4 - overs it took for South Africa to bowl Zimbabwe out. It is the least amount of overs they have taken to claim 20 wickets in a Test. The previous was 73.2 overs vs India in Durban in 1996.
