Advertisment

South Africa had set a mammoth 474-run target but England collapsed on the fourth day to a paltry 133 all out as Philander and Maharaj picked up three wickets apiece to clinch victory for the Proteas.

Captain Alastair Cook was the highest scorer for England with 42 runs(6 boundaries) but none of the other England batsmen could withstand the accurate pace and spin attack of the South Africans.

England lost the last five wickets for just 13 runs with Broad, Wood and Anderson falling in quick succession with the scoreboard stuck at 133 as the hosts capitulated without even a semblance of a fight in the second Test.
