    Don't forget about Dom Sibley who put England in the position to win this game.

  2. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Cape Town

    When the England fans make this noise it really does lift the players. Some people won't like it but it certainly got Stokes going there.

    What irony that England win at 16:10 on the fifth day when South Africa announce they support four-day Test cricket.

    Having been at the last three days of the cricket, our group decided to do a vineyard trip today. In terms of bad decisions probably up there with some of England's reviews...

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on The Cricket Social

    This will mean so much for young this England side. I think they can go on and win the series now.

  6. What awesome scenes. In the Cape Town sunshine, England salute their travelling fans, who are having a party in the stands.

    Remember the state England were in before this match? The illness? Ben Stokes' dad? Rory Burns and Jofra Archer? They were calling it the Cursed Tour.

    The curse has been broken...

  7. Ryan Sidebottom
    Ex-England bowler on The Cricket Social

    You can't put into context what Stokes has just done. He bowled beautifully.

  8. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on The Cricket Social

    Well bowled, Ben Stokes. The heads were down after tea. We thought the pitch had gone to sleep.

    Stokes is red in the face, sweat dropping off the face. He has bowled a spell to win the game and it will mean so much for this England side.

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent in Cape Town

    That was a brute of a ball. We have been looking for that crack all day. This is a moment for England to savour.

  10. wicket

    England win by 189 runs

    Philander c Pope b Stokes 8 (SA 248 all out)

    England have done it! Ben Stokes has done it!

    A brute of a lifter takes the edge of Vernon Philander's bat and is pouched by Ollie Pope at gully.

    An incredible end to this Test. England win in Cape Town for the first time since 1957.

    More importantly, the series is level at 1-1.

    Postpone everything.

    Am I allowed to postpone my client calls for this?

  14. SA 248-9

    Rabada takes a couple through the off side, then pokes at one that turns. England think that's it, but there's no bat on it. Nine overs to go. This pair have survived three.

  15. SA 246-9

    Joe Root is at gully for Dom Bess, so close that he's fielding on his hands and knees. Rabada prods forward in defence at Bess. He's no mug...

  16. Scott Read
    The Cricket Social

    It has been a sensational evening spell of cricket.

  17. SA 246-9

    10 overs left

    Ben Stokes is bowling at just a smidge under 90mph. Every member of England's travelling support is on their feet. Four slips and a gully for Philander. Ten overs to go. Rabada will now have to face some spin.

  18. Ryan Sidebottom
    Ex-England bowler on The Cricket Social

    Those special players find something within themselves when it matters. They put their hand up. To bowl like this, at this pace, on day five, is very, very special from Ben Stokes.

  19. SA 246-9

    If you were doing dry January, are you managing to stick to it through this? I'm on my third scotch.

    Rabada gets through three balls, the third of which results in a single.
