Australia's momentum has come crashing to a halt.  

After a big win over Proteas in the first test of the series, the Australian cricket team have fallen to an innings defeat in the second test. 

They were dismissed for just 99 in the first inning, and after being made to follow on, were unable to amass enough runs to force South Africa to the bat again. 

Our Australian Correspondent Adam Peacock joined D'Arcy to discuss the fallout.
