    More from Dean Elgar: "The hopes are still high but we can change it from here."

    (on the subject of Kagiso Rabada's suspension for the next Test) "I don't think me complaining is going to change anything. He adds a different dynamic so losing him is a big loss but it gives an opportunity to someone else."

    "We knew it was going to be a challenge and it just didn't go our way," says South Africa skipper Dean Elgar, master of the understatement.

    "It is maybe over 200 runs we didn't have to get if we had taken our chances."

    We're all set for presentations now in the sunshine and former England skipper Mike Atherton will conduct them.

    You look back to mid afternoon on day one, the body language and the allowance to let Joe Root play. I look at South Africa in this Test and have been really disappointed. England were very, very good. The pitch helped them but they shouldn't have got anywhere near that big first innings score.

    By letting England get that big score that is where the game was lost for South Africa.

    "They have made my life a lot easier," says Joe Root. It ends a run of four defeats in five matches against South Africa at Lord's for England. "As a side we were brilliant."

    Asked for his favourite memory of the match he modestly says: "That last wicket, to get over the line."

    We think Moeen has got man of the match for his 10-112 and attacking 87 with the bat in the first innings.

    119 all out is South Africa's second lowest total against England since 1960.

    Dean Elgar was also in his first Test as captain and it didn't work out quite so well for him. He is the eighth of his side's 12 Test captains since 1992 to lose his first match and he is expected to hand the reins back to Faf du Plessis for the next match at Trent Bridge on Friday.

    Matt Richmond: Cook, Jennings & Ballance - vital platform laid & evidently a very tough track on which to score runs. Well played Super Mo!

    Peterfeet: England ladies and men win within 5 minutes of each other. Amazing !!

    Rachel T: Stunning win for England - all hail England's new direction down Root 66!

    A bit like Spurs under Ossie Ardiles.

    So we are all done and dusted. All that talk of a declaration proved unnecessary as 19 wickets fell today. England lost seven wickets for 63 in the morning session and the South African second innings has ended within 37 overs.

    Well played England that's what you had to do - win that match.

    Quite frankly even with the South Africa captain coming back next match, England are better than South Africa.

    Morkel c Jennings b Dawson 14 (SA 119 all out)

    ENGLAND WIN BY 211 RUNS

    Two sixes from Morkel but in trying a third he does not quite get it out of the middle and Jennings takes a neat catch. An emphatic victory for Joe Root in his first Test as captain and he takes a stump for the trophy cabinet, sportingly letting Moeen lead the players from the field to warm applause.

    There has been one victory for England today, the women have beaten Australia by three runs.

    Minimum 15 overs left

    End of term jocularity as Stokes and Cook jostle in pursuit of the ball to the pavilion boundary, the ball beating both of them into the rope for byes. Philander leans back to launch Moeen for the first six of the innings. Looked like a five iron that one and he might well hit a few of those tomorrow on his day off.

    Another case today of it being good for a team to get bowled out third innings. Captains generally go too long before a declaration. Always seems to work best not having to make that decision.

    One wicket to claim and it doesn't come in this one from Dawson to Philander. Moeen rushes in to continue the attack to Morkel.
