    BBC Test Match Special

    "There was something about the body language of the England players. It looked like the last day of term."  

  2. Mark Boucher
    Former South Africa wicketkeeper on BBC Test Match Special

    "You don't mind losing a Test match, but to lose a Test match like that... To be bowled out in the first hour of play...

    "They've got a way to go to get to number one in the world. You've just got to show a bit of guts."

  3. I take the point that this match was probably lost on day one - South Africa did get too many - but where was the fight today? Yes the pitch did a bit, but only two men - Alex Hales and James Taylor - were got out.

  4. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "I thought this would be a day where England would graft, there are players who have a lot to prove, I thought they'd last until tea. It was a really feeble way to finish the tour."

  6. There were 98 overs to be bowled today. England didn't even last 98 balls.

  8. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "I get so frustrated when I see this. England have got to be very careful. You can't just show up on morning one of a game and expect to play in the same vein as the week before.

    "Have they been cocky this week? I don't know. They haven't been on it. Whether you're winning the series or not, if you're a good team you don't relax.

    "It's the same feeling we had a Australia at The Oval in 2015. England were winning the series but they put in such a flat performance."

  9. A lovely moment as Kagiso Rabada leads South Africa up the stairs, met by a hug and a handshake from his father. We've seen the arrival of a world fast bowling star.

  10. England lost seven wickets in less than 70 minutes this morning. A total collapse of 7-43. I don't care if you've already won the series - that is awful.

  11. South Africa win by 280 runs

    Well that was an absolute disaster, wasn't it?

    South Africa win by 280 runs

    Anderson lbw Rabada 0 (Eng 101 all out)

    Kagiso RabadaReuters

    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.

  13. Umpire review

    Eng 101-9

    Then again. There's no edge. This could be all she wrote...

  14. Umpire review

    Eng 101-9

    James Anderson, the last man, hit first ball. It doesn't look out, but South Africa somehow decide to have another look. I'd be surprised...

  15. Michael Vaughan
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    "This has been very disappointing. It's almost like the white towel has been thrown in. They've batted on a pitch with a bit of spice on but they've shown no heart."

    WICKET

    Broad c De Villiers b Rabada 2 (Eng 101-9)

    There are no new ways to describe an awful shot, or that England have surrendered. Wide from Kagiso Rabada, who now has 12 in the match, Stuart Broad slashing to slip. I hope Trevor Bayliss has them in the nets after this...

    Freddie Wildblood: Remember 4th highest successful run chase here is 124. This is par for batting 4th. It's not all doom, gloom and bad batting.

  18. Eng 101-8 (SA need 2 wickets)

    Two Moeen boundaries bring up the 100 - there's a reason to celebrate. Of all the England batsman this morning - and admittedly most of them have been like Lemmings into a lake - Moeen has looked the least likely to fall on his sword.

  19. England's winter in three words

    Anton Muszanskyj: Up, Up, Down.

    Tom Birkin: Explosive but fragile.

    D: Make it stop !!!

  20. Eng 93-8 (Rabada 10-2-32-4)

    In less than an hour's play, England have lost five wickets. They might as well as hung a pair of white Y-fronts off the dressing room balcony in surrender. Kagiso Rabada has 11 wickets - even he can't believe some of the gifts. Stuart Broad is the new man. He'll dig in...
