Commentary

  • 62.5
    Duanne Olivier c Ben Stokes b Moeen Ali 0 (1)

    OUT! Caught. Moeen Ali to Duanne Olivier. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, outside edge to slips, by Stokes. Moeen Ali gets another five wicket haul. Two in two for the spinner, as the ball skids on to take the outside edge, and Stokes cleans things up at slip.

    England were thoroughly professional in wrapping it up quickly, but the tail of South Africa showed little fight once their captain was dismissed. Hashim Amla also showed his class earlier in the day with his super knock of 83. But overall England were the dominant team, and their bowlers, along with some attacking batting, took the game away from their opponents. The series finishes 3-1 to the home side.

  • 62.4
    Morne Morkel c Joe Root b Moeen Ali 0 (1)

    OUT! Caught. Moeen Ali to Morne Morkel. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off, by Root. South Africa crumbling to a heavy defeat now. Morkel goes first ball. It is a tame dismissal as he tries to go for the big shot straight away. No chance of getting his timing right this early on, and he shanks it into the hands of mid off.

    Moeen Ali to Keshav Maharaj. Off break half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to mid off for 1 run, fielded by Broad.

  • 62.2

    SIX! Moeen Ali to Keshav Maharaj. Off break length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. Maharaj fancies playing some shots here. He might as well have a bit of fun. He charges down and launches Moeen over the long on fence for six.

    Kagiso Rabada c Tom Westley b James Anderson 1 (15)

    OUT! Caught. James Anderson to Kagiso Rabada. Half volley, outside off stump no foot movement driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to short extra cover, by Westley. Anderson gets a third, England have eight! Anderson goes round the wicket and it works. Rabada's feet are nowhere to be seen, and he limpy drives into the hands of a short cover fielder. Terrific catch from Westley, using all his jump and height to grab on.
