Bosch bowls South Africa to 328-run win over Zimbabwe
Bosch followed up a first innings century by taking five for 43 as Zimbabwe were bowled out for 208.
Playing in his second Test, Bosch became the fourth South African to score a century and take five wickets in an innings in a Test.
Bosch, who broke a stubborn opening stand with the last ball of Monday's play, struck with the first delivery on Tuesday when new batsman Nick Welch fended a lifting delivery to short leg.
First innings century-maker Sean Williams went on the attack, hitting five fours in scoring 26 off 18 balls.
But Williams became Bosch's third victim when he got into a tangle trying to play to leg and was caught behind off a top edge.
Fellow fast bowler Codi Yusuf replaced Bosch and quickly picked up three wickets as Zimbabwe crashed to 82 for six.
Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine (49) and Wellington Masakadza (57) delayed South Africa's win by putting on 83 for the sixth wicket before Bosch had Ervine smartly caught at short leg by Tony de Zorzi.
Bosch completed his five-wicket haul when he bowled Vincent Masekesa for three.
The left-handed Masakadza, with a previous highest Test score of 17, struck nine fours in an attacking innings before he was caught at slip off South African captain, left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj.
South Africa fielded only four of the players who won the World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord's last month.
The match does not count towards the new championship standings.

England's Woakes 'gutted' he could not win single-handedly at Oval
All-rounder Chris Woakes is still processing the shock after England fell agonisingly short of a "fairytale" series victory despite his remarkable act of bravery in the fifth and final Test against India. India levelled the five-Test series 2-2 on Monday after prevailing in the cliffhanger at The Oval by six runs amid high drama in a fitting finale to an all-time classic series. Woakes, who dislocated his shoulder while fielding, himself provided some of the drama when he came out to bat with one arm in sling to try to get England across the line. "I'm still gutted, devastated really, that we couldn't get the fairytale," the 36-year-old told the Guardian newspaper. "But I never considered not going out there, even if it had been 100 runs still to win or whatever. "It was nice to have the ovation and some of the Indian players came over to show their respect. But any other player would have done the same." Woakes looked in pain when running, but did not have to face a ball as Gus Atkinson was bowled by India's Mohammed Siraj at the other end. "It's not just you that you're playing for out there," Woakes said. "It's your team and your teammates, all the hard work and the sacrifices they put in, the people watching at home and in the ground. You just feel a duty to do it for everyone." He hurt his shoulder on the opening day of the see-saw test when he landed awkwardly trying to save a boundary, but said he has no regrets. "We chase down every run," Woakes said. "That has always been the way. As a bowler, you really respect guys trying to save every run. It means a lot to you. So you kind of do the same for the team. And a tight game like that one – just six runs the difference – kinda shows how they all add up."
