Kagiso Rabada to Stuart Broad
OUT! CAUGHT! Kagiso Rabada outfoxes Stuart Broad with a slower delivery and breaks this counter-attacking partnership between Broad and Stokes. This was bound to happen sooner rather than later, Broad was going for everything and Rabada is too good a bowler to let him do that regularly. Back of a length, on off. It is a slower delivery and Broad ends up playing it early. He gets the toe-end of his blade as he looks to loft it away and hits it straight to Dean Elgar at mid off. The skipper takes an easy catch and England are seven down now.

Marco Jansen to James Anderson
OUT! BOWLED! That's it! South Africa win! What a performance this has been, a true team effort. They stayed true to their strengths playing old-fashioned cricket with great grit and determination and delivered a solid performance in the end. Coming to the ball - This is very full and swings away late from middle. James Anderson skips down the track and backs away a bit too much. He tried to dig it out but is too late as the ball goes onto shatter the stumps. Marco Jansen is elated and so are other players, they truly deserve this win. South Africa win by an innings and 12 runs!
