England's first home Test series win over South Africa since 1998
Monday 7 August 2017 20:41, UK
South Africa crumbled to 202 all out on day four of the fourth Test at Old Trafford and a 3-1 series defeat to England.
Click on the video above to watch the best of the action as Hashim Amla's 35th Test half-century and Faf du Plessis' 14th kept the Proteas in the game before Moeen Ali took 5-69 to wrap up an emphatic 177-run win for the home side.
Amla (83) blossomed as his innings went on, scoring just 12 from his first 65 deliveries but then 38 from his following 35 to reach fifty from 100 balls while sharing a stand of 123 with skipper Du Plessis (61).
Amla perished around 20 minutes before tea, given out lbw on review to Ali with third umpire Joel Wilson deciding the murmur on Ultra-Edge did not come from the South African's bat.
Ali then had Quinton de Kock (1) and Theunis de Bruyn (0) pouched at slip within the space of three balls as South Africa's slender hopes of a series-levelling victory in Manchester disappeared.
James Anderson (3-16) picked up Du Plessis and Kagiso Rabada after the break before Ali then claimed Morne Morkel and Duanne Olivier off consecutive deliveries to wrap things up.
Stuart Broad and Anderson - the two men out this morning as England were dismissed for 243 in their second dig - pocketed a wicket apiece in the morning session, with Toby Roland-Jones also striking.
Broad had Dean Elgar (5) caught behind by wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow, with Anderson nabbing South Africa's other opener, Heino Kuhn (11) - Alastair Cook pouching in the slip cordon.
Roland-Jones, meanwhile, picked up Temba Bavuma (12) on the stroke of lunch on review - Ultra-Edge proving the right-hander had snicked into Bairstow's gloves.
Ali had earlier been left stranded on 75 - but safe in the knowledge that his dynamic contribution had seemingly put the game beyond the Proteas, while his five wickets with the ball then confirmed as much.
