South Africa won the toss and put England in. Left arm medium pacer Bonnor Middleton took a five-wicket haul as England were dismissed for 185 in the 1st innings.
George Lohmann was the destroyer in chief when England came on to bowl. He finished with 7/38 as the Proteas were dismissed for 93 in the 1st innings.
Sammy Woods scored a fine half-century in the 2nd innings as England posted a competitive 226 in their 2nd innings, after getting a lead of 92.
Chasing 319 to win, the Proteas looked totally out of sorts and started losing wickets nearly every over. Even in the 2nd innings, George Lohmann bowled a terrific spell that bundled out the Proteas for their lowest ever score in Test cricket till date. Lohmann finished with insane figures of 8/7 as England completed a victory by 288 runs.

Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
