So it seems that all the problems are South Africa's before the second Test begins. They don't have much time to sort them, we get under way again on 2 January.
Can England maintain the momentum and take a 2-0 lead?
The Press Association are reporting that James Anderson is on track to play in the second Test. Anderson bowled around six overs before play began this morning.

South Africa's last seven wickets fell for 38 runs - in the middle of that they lost 5-7. Without question the biggest one of the lot was AB de Villiers, lbw to Moeen Ali in the first over of the day. After that, it was a matter of time.
England take the applause of the Barmy Army - this is a very significant win at the beginning of an overseas series. Remember, England had won only one of their previous 15 overseas Tests. The tourists have James Anderson waiting in the wings, while South Africa have a host of problems.

I'm very much enjoying the insight of the stump mic. Jonny Bairstow decides it's a "matter of time" if Dane Piedt continues to play Moeen Ali in this fashion. Extra catcher on the leg side, Moeen targets the leg stump, but Piedt looks solid. He should have come in at number three.

Every ball feels like an event here. A little grenade of English danger that could push South Africa closer to defeat. Dale Steyn, who seems to have a pillow under his shirt as a chest guard, shows the self-control to not smash Moeen Ali into the sea. Restraint. For now.

More from England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on Sky Sports, on Bairstow's missed stumping of De Villiers: "You get a split second to see that. He’s looked very comfortable with the bat in both innings and he has kept very well, he’s working very hard to get his keeping right. You make one mistake and the focus is on that."

Or maybe Stephen Fry would be in the chair, with Andrew Samson as the Richard Osman character? Samson's Corner, or something like that?

So, what make you of all this? England set for victory, or South Africa to pull out characteristic resistance? De Villiers to hang around, or England to make short work of the Proteas?

England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on Sky Sports: "We are very confident but De Villiers is still there and all the time he’s there they will think they have a chance as well, that’s the beauty of Test cricket."

Cook's England need only six wickets to defeat world number ones South Africa in the first Test in Durban.
Set a fanciful 416 for victory, the Proteas have slipped to 136-4. Steven Finn has three wickets, Ben Stokes one.
AB de Villiers, reprieved of being stumped by Jonny Bairstow, remains on 37 and seems to be the only obstacle between England and glory.

There was a welcome drawn Test in India (a good result, sealed series victory), a stalemate in New Zealand, a horror show in Australia, a lone win in the West Indies and a battling defeat by Pakistan in the UAE.
Three years. 15 Tests. One win.

So it seems that all the problems are South Africa's before the second Test begins. They don't have much time to sort them, we get under way again on 2 January.
Can England maintain the momentum and take a 2-0 lead?

More from Jonny Bairstow: "There's been plenty spoken about yesterday. It was disappointing to have missed that stumping opportunity but you take it on the chin and move on. Everyone makes mistakes and you have to hold your hands up but another chance always comes along and I managed to get that stumping today which was really pleasing."

England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow on Sky Sports: "It's very pleasing to start the tour so well. We haven't always started well so it's good to get a win and good to wrap it up so early.
"We applied ourselves so well on the first innings and that gave us confidence for the rest of the match. I was happy with the way I was striking the ball, it comes on to you a bit more here than in the UAE, which suits my game."

More from Russell Domingo: "It's unlikely that Dale Steyn will play the next match. Not having him is a big blow.
"Two players have been added to the squad. Chris Morris is a good bowler and Quinton de Kock is a major talent.
"It still needs to be clear about who will keep, but we're hoping that Quinton will take the gloves from AB."
Post update
South Africa coach Russell Domingo on Sky Sports: "It's very disappointing. A lot of questions need to be answered and we've got some thinking to do in the next couple of days.
"We're not getting enough runs. There's some quality batting in our line-up, but they are down on confidence.
"Confidence is what it's all about. It's not a bad thing that it's a two-day turnaround. We just have to get on with it and improve.
"I was expecting a lot more fight and I'm disappointed with how we have gone about it.
"I didn't think our bowling was bad at all. England bowled well, they put us under pressure from ball one."

Geoffrey Boycott

Geoffrey Boycott
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"I don't know if the technique of the South Africa batsmen is good enough to stay in against good bowling.
"I could go through them and it doesn't look too good. You always need a good defence in Test cricket. You can't play shots if you can't stay in.
"All club players will tell you the same. There's no point playing two of three good shots then getting out."

Man of the match Moeen Ali: "It's been good, it's nice to have a good start here.
"I'm not really worried about batting higher. i feel at number eight I change the momentum. It's a nice role to be able to change the game with bat and ball.
"I think of myself as being attacking, but sometimes I have to hold an end."

Geoffrey Boycott
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"I thought England played very well. It was an excellent performance. The pitch didn't do too much, there was nothing alarming.
"Nick Compton solidified the middle order with James Taylor. If you can't bat, you don't win Test matches. By staying in the game, getting to 300, Taylor and Compton adapting, that was the beginning for England."

More from England captain Alastair Cook: "It's our first away win for a long time so we will enjoy this but we know what a strong side South Africa are at home.
"It's great to see so many English fans here supporting us. The Barmy Army were a little bit quiet over the five days so their challenge is to make a bit more noise at Cape Town."
Post update
England captain Alastair Cook: "The lads played really well. It was tough to bat but the way Nick Compton played after being out of Test cricket for a while, he was a rock int he first innings to give us a platform, and then we bowled well in both innings.
"The bowlers mixed their pace and were relentless. It's pretty easy to captain because you know they will deliver. We didn't quite get the results in Abu Dhabi so it's good to get this result."
South Africa call up duo
How bizarre. As Hashim Amla was speaking, South Africa tweeted that they have added two players to their squad for the second Test. Chris Morris covers Dale Steyn, while keeper Quinton de Kock's call-up suggests a reshuffle.

"I think Amla will captain the side at Newlands but I wouldn't be surprised if it's someone else for the third and fourth Tests."
Post update
More from Hashim Amla: "It's more about confidence. Once you get runs, you play differently. The only way you can do that is get the runs. We have to patient with the younger guys.
"Dale Steyn is injured, so I think there will be a replacement. I'll leave the rest to the selectors.
"England are a good team. The series will be a contest and hopefully we can make it tougher for them."
Post update
South Africa captain Hashim Amla: "Dean Elgar played superbly. It was great to see him at his best. I'm really happy for him.
"I can't fault the bowlers. They were exceptional in India and here. They have kept the team in a good space in that regard. We just need to get the runs on the board.
"The wicket played better than we thought it would, but we would have taken them to be 40-3. Our first innings batting let us down. We couldn't put the pressure on them."

South Africa's last seven wickets fell for 38 runs - in the middle of that they lost 5-7. Without question the biggest one of the lot was AB de Villiers, lbw to Moeen Ali in the first over of the day. After that, it was a matter of time.

SA 170-9 (target 416)
All is still at Kingsmead. Sunshine, blue sky, only birdsong as Woakes slips in to Duminy. Outside off stump, Duminy happy to leave alone. You can feel a bowling change on the horizon.

SA 166-9 (Duminy 26, Morkel 0)
I've just been playing around with the Test rankings predictor. If England win this series 4-0, South Africa would slip all the way to fifth. I'm probably getting ahead of myself a little. Still Woakes, South Africa doing a good job of hanging on. If I'm honest, there's not a great deal going on. Wait, wait, wait...

VillanUK: Man of the match is going to be tricky, even Jonny's quick fire 76 yesterday turned the match.

Moeen continues to Morkel. I wonder why England didn't give big Morne a blast of pace when they knew he would be on strike? Five catchers around the bat, but Morkel getting though, even if England ask an optimistic question for lbw.

The Barmies (or one Barmy in particular) are doing their version on The Lion Sleeps Tonight. In the sunshine, Woakes comes round the wicket to Duminy, who is doing his best to farm the strike. He gets through the over, but can't prevent Morkel from facing the music next up.

Before that wicket, TV commentators were pushing Graeme Smith on if he is making a comeback or not. He definitely didn't rule it out. You sense there will be quite a post-mortem in South Africa after this match.

The change does it and England are one away from a 1-0 lead. Dane Piedt looked comfortable against spin, but lasts only six balls against Chris Woakes. Angled in, an inside edge on to the pad, James Taylor does the rest at short leg. South Africa have lost 5-19 this morning, 6-19 overall.

Andrew Murphy: Does Graeme Smith fancy a game for SA this series, no way he still wouldn't walk straight into this SA side.
SA 155-8 (Eng need 2 wickets)
A drinks break does bring a change, with Stuart Broad replacing Steven Finn. JP Duminy has obviously decided than Dane Piedt is doing a decent job against Moeen Ali, so turns down the singles on offer. Duminy has problems of his own, mind. One Broad delivery has Duminy groping, not knowing whether to have his breakfast or a haircut.

I'm very much enjoying the insight of the stump mic. Jonny Bairstow decides it's a "matter of time" if Dane Piedt continues to play Moeen Ali in this fashion. Extra catcher on the leg side, Moeen targets the leg stump, but Piedt looks solid. He should have come in at number three.

England have decided that these batsmen are at the wrong ends. They want Duminy to take a single and expose Piedt to Finn. Still lots of chirp from England, punctuated by an "outstanding" from captain Cook. It doesn't sound quite right from the ex-choirboy. Someone else shouts to "stay strong Finn-dog".

JP Duminy is surrounded by more fielders than a man handing out free fivers. Has he nicked that from Finn? Big noise, but no appeal from anyone. Replays suggest he hit his pad. Two nice drives bring boundaries, drawing applause from our padded-up friend in the crowd.

If you're keeping track, South Africa have now lost 5-7 since last night. Dane Piedt is the latest rabbit out of the hutch, getting through the rest of Moeen's over with far more idea than Abbott had. Moeen Ali has seven wickets in the match.

South Africa are looking at a fourth defeat in five Tests. No win in seven. It's usually the England captain who goes when these two sides meet, but could Hashim Amla be under the pump?

That's four wickets for Steven Finn, one more and he bags a Michelle Pfeiffer. Kyle Abbott, who looked poor in the first innings, is the new man, facing Finn as the Barmies clap him to the crease. That's another trimmer, beating the outside edge. South Africa's collapse is now at 4-2.

WICKET
Steyn b Finn 2 (SA 138-7)
Bowled him! That's an absolute rozzer from Steven Finn, taking the off stump of Dale Steyn, a full pint out of the ground. Angled in, pitching off, straightening to take the top of the same peg. That's a good nut to any batsman, but far too good for a tailender posing as a nightwatchman. We're speeding towards the end here.

138-6 (target 416)
Every ball feels like an event here. A little grenade of English danger that could push South Africa closer to defeat. Dale Steyn, who seems to have a pillow under his shirt as a chest guard, shows the self-control to not smash Moeen Ali into the sea. Restraint. For now.
For the record...
SA 137-6 (Eng need 4 wickets)
As Dale Steyn plays his lone resistance to Steven Finn, the figures in the South Africa dressing room sit statuesque, not talking to each other. It's like a funeral in there. Single to Steyn, then Duminy has to have gloves and inners off for an adjustment. "Up and down," squeaks Joe Root from second slip.

SA 136-6 (Moeen 17-5-36-2)
Going back to last night, South Africa have lost three wickets for no runs. The new man is JP Duminy - a batsman currently unsure which end of the willow to hold.

Bavuma st Bairstow b Moeen 0 (SA 136-6)
Temba Bavuma, what on earth are you doing? That is cricketing suicide. His sixth ball, Bavuma skips down to Moeen Ali. The ball goes straight on and Bavuma is past it. Jonny Bairstow, who made the mistake of missing AB de Villiers last night, doesn't fail this time. Bails off in a flash.

A penny for Dale Steyn's thoughts. Bad shoulder, out there to be nightwatchman, resisting the urge to whack it out of the park, the senior partner in De Villiiers already gone. He faces up to Steven Finn with a phalanx of slips and a short leg in place. Shuffling around, jamming down, Steyn somehow survives.

"The wicket is massive for Moeen because he will have gone to bed last night very nervous that people expect him to win the game."

"De Villiers is the one guy who has the potential to bat all day and frustrate England. There was some talk in the South African commentary box that England might be nervous that South Africa could win the game. I don't think that will continue now."
SA 136-5 (Moeen 16-4-36-1)
Temba Bavuma is the new man, immediately facing an appeal from the fielders that Moeen himself turns down. At the end of the over, Moeen gets huge applause from the Barmies gathered on the grass bank. Looking again at the wicket, the ball disturbed the surface as it pitched. As England watched the replay on the big screen, they were cockahoop when they saw the ball-tracker confirm Aleem Dar's decision.

"What a huge start to the day for England and Moeen Ali!"
WICKET
De Villiers lbw Moeen 37 (SA 136-5)
A huge, huge moment only three balls into the final day. England could well have sealed the match right there. It definitely kept low from Moeen Ali, pitching on the stumps and straightening. AB de Villiers' back-foot defence was done by the lack of bounce. The replay shows it would have clipped the leg stump. What. A. Start.
Umpire review
SA 136-4
Round the wicket. Turn. No bounce. Very, very close...

SA 136-4
Third ball of the day! It's AB de Villiers! Pinned in front, up goes the finger. He has to review - he's South Africa's last hope...

It's beautiful again in Durban - the rain won't be coming to save South Africa any time soon. Cloudless sky and perfect sunshine. AB de Villiers and nightwatchman Dale Steyn emerge into a pretty empty stadium. Moeen Ali is at the end of his run.

"It will help the rest of the players if De Villiers is still in. They see him playing the ball easily and it does lift the tail. If he goes, I wouldn't expect them to last too long."

Arleth Eaton: What's this new concept of test matches? Taking 5 days to play and all 3 results still possible? This should happen more often.

More from England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on Sky Sports, on Bairstow's missed stumping of De Villiers: "You get a split second to see that. He’s looked very comfortable with the bat in both innings and he has kept very well, he’s working very hard to get his keeping right. You make one mistake and the focus is on that."

Or maybe Stephen Fry would be in the chair, with Andrew Samson as the Richard Osman character? Samson's Corner, or something like that?

So, what make you of all this? England set for victory, or South Africa to pull out characteristic resistance? De Villiers to hang around, or England to make short work of the Proteas?

Also, on the subject of game shows, why has no one ever tried a cricket-themed quiz? Surely you could put Boycott Bingo on prime time telly?

England assistant coach Paul Farbrace on Sky Sports: "We are very confident but De Villiers is still there and all the time he’s there they will think they have a chance as well, that’s the beauty of Test cricket."

Cook's England need only six wickets to defeat world number ones South Africa in the first Test in Durban.
Set a fanciful 416 for victory, the Proteas have slipped to 136-4. Steven Finn has three wickets, Ben Stokes one.
AB de Villiers, reprieved of being stumped by Jonny Bairstow, remains on 37 and seems to be the only obstacle between England and glory.

Yep, if Alastair Cook was on karaoke, he might sing the classic Lisa Stansfield line "been around the world, but I can't find my (win) baby".
Today, though, Cook might just be set for the winner's song.

There was a welcome drawn Test in India (a good result, sealed series victory), a stalemate in New Zealand, a horror show in Australia, a lone win in the West Indies and a battling defeat by Pakistan in the UAE.
Three years. 15 Tests. One win.
