David Gower was joined by Shane Warne and, of course, Bob Willis for The Verdict after England sealed a series win over South Africa with their 177-run in the fourth Test.

Moeen Ali spun England to victory, taking five for 69 on day four, seeing him finish with 25 wickets in the series to go with 252 runs - enough earn him the player of the series award.

As well as hearing from him upon accepting the award, Bob highlights the 'unselfish' Ali and England's other all-rounders - Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow - as key to their series win.

Warne also picks apart Ali's improvement as an offspinner and analyses how well Joe Root did in his first series as skipper.
