But that's it for today. England are series winners in South Africa, even if they looked anything but winners today.
The first ODI is a week on Wednesday, 3 February. Put your pyjamas on and join us then.

Final scorecard
England 101 all out (34.4 overs) - SA won by 280 runs
England won series 2-1
Fall of wickets: 2-1 (Hales 1), 8-2 (Cook 5), 18-3 (Compton 6), 58-4 (Taylor 24), 58-5 (Root 20), 83-6 (Bairstow 14), 83-7 (Stokes 10), 91-8 (Woakes 5), 101-9 (Broad 2), 101 all out (Anderson 0); Bowling figures: Moeen 10*
"You can't always be consistent but your mind can. They've been nowhere near the standards they set at the Wanderers a few days ago. I thought they'd be more consistent than this."
'Maybe there is a dearth of quality'

"There are questions marks over the number two, three and five positions. Woakes is a big question mark about whether he is good enough to get wickets. We can only pick what we have. It's up to the selectors to get the best ones - maybe there is a dearth of quality."
'I'll be doing something to sheep soon'
England captain Alastair Cook: "In this Test we lacked variety in our attack, we'll learn from that going forward. We've got options and it's all there for the bowlers in they want it.
"I'm looking forward to getting home and, within a week, I'll be back doing something to sheep.

"Ben Stokes has thrived under Trevor. They have an unusual relationship of just swearing at each other; they seem to get on.
"He's had a tough time and learned what he needs to do. He went home from Abu Dhabi with his arm in a sling and he's worked hard physically.
"It's no coincidence that in the games we won we caught everything. It's not just Jonny Bairstow, but he knows he needs to take chances. It takes me back to when Matty Prior first came in. He dropped a few chance but worked incredibly hard on his keeping and proved people can improve."

'This is just a blip'
Alastair Cook, speaking to Sky Sports: "We're nowhere near the finished article. There's a huge amount of work to do on our batting and our catching.
"You can probably afford Tests like this if you keep winning series. We spoke honestly about how we were going about this week; we tried not to do what we did against Australia.
"A lot of time, under pressure we produce outstanding performances. That's the really exciting thing. This is just a blip and incredibly frustrating.

"Today is a blow and shows how much work we still have to do.
"We have players who can change the game quickly, especially with the bat. With the ball, we can get a roll and be hard to stop.
"We need consistency, especially with our fielding. Taking catches will make us a better side.
"We'll enjoy winning a series away from home."

England captain Alastair Cook: "It's been a disappointing five days; we haven't been on it. We hung in there without ever getting on top.
"Trevor just described it as a limp performance, which sums it up.
"We spoke about trying to build partnerships, trying to get their bowlers into second and third spells. It proves sometimes you can talk too much."
'I still prefer batting'
England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who scored 411 runs at 58 and took 12 wickets at 29 in the series: "I still prefer batting but it's nice to be contributing with both. Consistency is something I've been lacking so it's good to get in some good performances.
"The role I've been given is to come on and take some wickets - going for some runs isn't something I've been too fussed about. So it was nice to get a few important wickets."

Oh for... what is going on? Chris Woakes, this isn't even a good ball. Miles wide of off stump, short. You're already eight down and getting steam-rollered. Just leave it alone, maybe?

Moeen Ali actually looks quite calm out there, even if he is wearing a few on the body. Morkel, the giraffe, gets the speed gun near 90. Meanwhile, I'm told that Shaun Tait's first ball in the T20 between Australia and India is in the mid-90s. It's his first international in five years!

Well bowled, Kagiso Rabada, who becomes the youngest South Africa bowler to take 10 wickets in a Test match. He really has got something, the 20-year-old. ood pace, athleticism, but, above all, the ability to pound away on and around off stump and at in-between length. A real talent.

Words fail me. Can you believe it? From the very next ball, Jonny Bairstow edges behind. There's no saving you this time, Jonny. A decent ball, angled in and nipping away, but the same batsman being out twice in two balls pretty much sums up England's morning. Awful.

Don't go anywhere because this could be over quickly. England lose a second wicket in the space of four deliveries, but this time it's a pretty loose shot.

Gone! First blood to South Africa! It's an absolute brute from Morne Morkel, with not a great deal that James Taylor can do. It's just short of length, but rears alarmingly towards the face of Taylor.

'Maybe there is a dearth of quality'
Geoffrey Boycott
Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"There are questions marks over the number two, three and five positions. Woakes is a big question mark about whether he is good enough to get wickets. We can only pick what we have. It's up to the selectors to get the best ones - maybe there is a dearth of quality."
'I'll be doing something to sheep soon'
England captain Alastair Cook: "In this Test we lacked variety in our attack, we'll learn from that going forward. We've got options and it's all there for the bowlers in they want it.
"I'm looking forward to getting home and, within a week, I'll be back doing something to sheep.

'Stokes and Bayliss just swear at each other'
More from Alastair Cook: "It shouldn't take anything away from the guys. South Africa in this match showed what a good side they are.
"Ben Stokes has thrived under Trevor. They have an unusual relationship of just swearing at each other; they seem to get on.
"He's had a tough time and learned what he needs to do. He went home from Abu Dhabi with his arm in a sling and he's worked hard physically.
"It's no coincidence that in the games we won we caught everything. It's not just Jonny Bairstow, but he knows he needs to take chances. It takes me back to when Matty Prior first came in. He dropped a few chance but worked incredibly hard on his keeping and proved people can improve."

"Get your head down and save the match. But there was no effort this morning. Coming out and playing shots, does that excuse you after winning the series? No. There's no excuse for that. You have to be professional. That's not good enough."
'This is just a blip'
Alastair Cook, speaking to Sky Sports: "We're nowhere near the finished article. There's a huge amount of work to do on our batting and our catching.
"You can probably afford Tests like this if you keep winning series. We spoke honestly about how we were going about this week; we tried not to do what we did against Australia.
"A lot of time, under pressure we produce outstanding performances. That's the really exciting thing. This is just a blip and incredibly frustrating.
"You have to give the guys a little bit of leeway. For us to be at number one, we do need to start gutsing these out."

"England receive all the credit for winning the series. I take my hat off to them. Winning abroad, winning anywhere is good.

'This shows how much work we have to do'
More from Alastair Cook: "We didn't get the balance right today. I can't really fault the lads too much, because if you'd said we'd win the series 2-1, we'd have taken that.
"Today is a blow and shows how much work we still have to do.
"We have players who can change the game quickly, especially with the bat. With the ball, we can get a roll and be hard to stop.
"We need consistency, especially with our fielding. Taking catches will make us a better side.
"We'll enjoy winning a series away from home."
Post update
England captain Alastair Cook: "It's been a disappointing five days; we haven't been on it. We hung in there without ever getting on top.
"Trevor just described it as a limp performance, which sums it up.
"We spoke about trying to build partnerships, trying to get their bowlers into second and third spells. It proves sometimes you can talk too much."
'I still prefer batting'
England all-rounder Ben Stokes, who scored 411 runs at 58 and took 12 wickets at 29 in the series: "I still prefer batting but it's nice to be contributing with both. Consistency is something I've been lacking so it's good to get in some good performances.
"The role I've been given is to come on and take some wickets - going for some runs isn't something I've been too fussed about. So it was nice to get a few important wickets."
Man of the series
Who else could it have been? Well played, Ben Stokes.

All over! James Anderson is lbw first ball, the review showing he got no bat on and it would have crashed into leg stump. South Africa win by 280 runs and Kagiso Rabada, the 20-year-old, takes 13 wickets in the match. A wonderful, wonderful performance.

Oh for... what is going on? Chris Woakes, this isn't even a good ball. Miles wide of off stump, short. You're already eight down and getting steam-rollered. Just leave it alone, maybe? Instead, a waft at Kagiso Rabada gets you caught behind. Hard to put into words how inept England have been this morning.

Moeen Ali actually looks quite calm out there, even if he is wearing a few on the body. Morkel, the giraffe, gets the speed gun near 90. Meanwhile, I'm told that Shaun Tait's first ball in the T20 between Australia and India is in the mid-90s. It's his first international in five years!

Are they trying to catch an earlier flight? I understand that Ben Stokes is trying to counter-attack, but surely some judgement comes into it? There's a man back on the hook and Stokes hoiks a Morne Morkel bumper straight to Stephen Cook on the leg-side fence. It's horrendous from England, who are having their bellies tickled.

Ten-wicket haul for Kagiso Rabada
Eng 83-6
Well bowled, Kagiso Rabada, who becomes the youngest South Africa bowler to take 10 wickets in a Test match. He really has got something, the 20-year-old. ood pace, athleticism, but, above all, the ability to pound away on and around off stump and at in-between length. A real talent.
WICKET
Bairstow c De Kock b Rabada 14 (Eng 83-6)
Words fail me. Can you believe it? From the very next ball, Jonny Bairstow edges behind. There's no saving you this time, Jonny. A decent ball, angled in and nipping away, but the same batsman being out twice in two balls pretty much sums up England's morning. Awful.

I've just seen a replay of that blow to Stokes. It was like being punched by Carl Froch. When he lifts his shirt, there's a red mark on his stomach. Jonny Bairstow, who has seen the danger, calls for a chest guard. Stokes doesn't bother. Hard as nails.

Just turning on? Where've you been? England really have lost two wickets in the first four overs. Firstly, the Taylor wicket. Great delivery, little he could do. If that's a sign of things to come, England are stuffed. Root's was an awful shot, driving and undone by the flight and lack of turn. Ben Stokes lost a batting partner before he even faced a ball and is joined by Jonny Bairstow.

WICKET
Root c Elgar b Piedt 20 (Eng 58-5)
Don't go anywhere because this could be over quickly. England lose a second wicket in the space of four deliveries, but this time it's a pretty loose shot.

Gone! First blood to South Africa! It's an absolute brute from Morne Morkel, with not a great deal that James Taylor can do. It's just short of length, but rears alarmingly towards the face of Taylor.
