Keshav Maharaj to Zak Crawley, OUT! LBW! Keshav Maharaj strikes in his first over of the game! He gets rid of Zak Crawley and his poor run of form continues. What a move to bring Keshav Maharaj on! He tosses this one up, fuller one, tad slower through the air, on middle. Zak Crawley gets down on his knee and looks to sweep this one but he misses and gets hit on his pad. A loud appeal and the umpire raises his finger without any hesitation. South Africa have got their first wicket.

Keshav Maharaj to Ollie Pope, OUT! LBW! A wicket for South Africa on the final ball before Lunch! Keshav Maharaj, who did not bowl one over in the first innings, has now picked up two wickets in the second innings. He sends back Ollie Pope now. This is a big, big wicket for South Africa and England are under pressure early in the innings. Coming to the ball - this was a shorter one, it comes in with the arm, on the leg pole. Ollie Pope rocks back and looks to flick this one but he misses and gets rapped on his pads. A loud appeal for LBW, but the umpire says no. Dean Elgar though decides to review this one. No bat involved there, confirms UltraEdge. The Ball Tracking indicates, three reds. The decision needs to be overturned and Ollie Pope has to depart. A successful review for South Africa. That will be Lunch on Day 3.

Marco Jansen to Stuart Broad, FOUR! Runs are flowing for England here! Jansen bangs it short, on middle.

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!
