South Africa vs England 2017: 4th Test, 5 talking points

#1 Moeen Ali sizzles yet again to grab England's Man of the Series award

Ali followed up a hat-trick at The Oval with a terrific display at Manchester

Moeen Ali isn't England's most admired Test cricketer. But the spinning all-rounder has carved a name for himself in the lineup with telling performances, especially in the past one year. He was superb right through the series for England and deservedly won the Man of the Series award.

Ali took seven wickets in the Test match, five of which came in the second innings when Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla threatened to launch a blockathon. Ali's counter-attacking half-century in the second innings was also critical to England turning the screws in this Test match.
