Cricket fraternity has blasted Australians for tarnishing the sport and even Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull regretted the incident.
Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft were greeted with loud boos from the crowd in South Africa after admitting they tried to tamper with the ball.
In reply, Australia were bowled out for a paltry 107 runs in their second innings, with fast bowler Morne Morkel taking five wickets for 23 runs.
The Proteas could claim to have had the better of all three sessions as they first needed just 17 balls to take the final Australian first innings wicket while 10 runs were added to the total before moving on to 65 for the loss of Dean Elgar's wicket by lunch.
Spurred on by some lower middle-order fireworks, South Africa took their lead to 430 before Australia, courtesy David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, put on a half-century stand to evoke hopes of a silent Aussie fightback. But South Africa's top six is more reliable.
South African fans have reportedly obtained a list of the players' wives and girlfriends and are using derogatory language. Root (51) then got good company from Dawid Malan (19 not out) and both of them nearly batted their way to stumps before Trent Boult got the better of the England skipper to keep his side ahead.
"It's not on at a cricket game - not just here, it shouldn't happen". Away from the game there's been a lot of pressure and we wanted them to feel that that pressure was not going anywhere.

Paine admitted: "It was extremely hard but it's no excuse for what happened".
The saga should help South Africa's bid to win a home series against Australia for the first time since readmission.
Bancroft fell to a direct hit from midwicket by South African captain Faf du Plessis after being called for a risky single by Warner.
AB de Villiers is not out on 51 and will resume on the fourth morning with Quinton de Kock, on 29, as the pair look to push the lead past 350 runs at least with two full days remaining and sunshine predicted.
But he watched on from the other end as de Villiers scooped a catch straight to David Warner at mid-off to start the collapse.
The ICC announced its intention to charge Bancroft at the close of play and he faces a maximum punishment of a 100 percent fine of his match fee and four demerit points, which would trigger an automatic one-match ban.
Things went from bad to worse for the tourists as Maharaj struck twice in two balls as he took out Usman Khawaja and Shaun Marsh.
