  1. Here's the winning moment for England.

  2. Vernon Philander
    Former South Africa bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    From a batting perspective it is so difficult to replace guys going into the final Test. They won't have played much cricket. The one possible change we could see is Ryan Rickelton come in.

  3. Van der Dussen out of series with injury

    And in a case of more bad news for South Africa, Rassie van der Dussen will miss the decider at the Oval because of his damaged finger.

    It's astonishing, really, given how bad it is that he came out to bat in the first place today.

  4. Blink and you'll miss it stuff from England.

  5. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    It felt like the first session of the whole match was going to decide the game.

  6. South Africa batting first on that overcast morning always felt like an odd decision.

    It looks even weirder now.

  7. Vernon Philander
    Former South Africa bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    It just shows you how key the first innings is. If you get blown away in the first innings in any Test there is no way back. I just hope the weather is OK for the full five days at the Oval.

  8. These two sides don't really do close matches, do they?

    South Africa won by an innings at Lord's, England by an innings here...

  9. Vic Marks
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    In many ways that's the best England win of the summer. Usually they come from an impossible position and win but here this was a flawless performance. Two very one-sided games - on for a tie at the Oval?

  10. I mean, that is a proper win isn't it?

  11. Ollie Robinson finishes with 4-43, James Anderson 3-30 and Ben Stokes, who sparked this evening collapse, walks off with 2-17 to his name.

    South Africa lost five wickets for seven runs in 31 balls.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    There was something inevitable about that! Ngidi's stumps are shattered, England win the match!

    It couldn't be set up better for the third and final Test.

  13. England win by an innings & 85 runs!
    Breaking

    An absolute shellacking.

    What a good comeback that is from England after Lord's.

    To the Oval we go for a decider.

    Castled by Ollie Robinson!

    And more importantly, England win!

  15. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    Since the 2003 series between these sides there have been eight series and the home team has won only one of them. England have won the last two in South Africa while South Africa won here in 2012 and 2008.

  16. SA 179-9

    Dean Elgar doesn't look like he's having the best time up on the South Africa balcony as he watches the final moments of this game.

    Maiden from the tireless Anderson.

  17. SA 179-9

    The noise at Old Trafford is astonishing.

    England have taken 4-7 (!!) with the new ball. Brilliant bowling, albeit against some pretty iffy batting.

  18. Can he make it 101?

  19. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    BBC Test Match Special statistician

    James Anderson has now taken 100 wickets against South Africa.

  20. SA 179-9

    Beaten on the outside edge!
