England vs Proteas post-match review

England won the 2nd test match by an innings and 85 runs after their bowlers put in an excellent performance on day 3 of the 2nd test as the series heads for a decider at the Oval in London starting 8th September.

England bowlers led by charismatic Anderson bowled excellently throughout this test as they troubled the Proteas batsman with swing, seam movement and reverse swing in both innings.

England played excellent cricket during this match and did it without using their Bazzball approach. They did play positively but weren't over-attacking and played each bowler on merit, putting the bad balls away and transferring pressure to the opposition when it was required. They were on top from the get-go and the Proteas never got back into the game at any stage.

Day 3 Started steadily for the Proteas as Elgar and Erwee were tested by a moving ball, and this proved to be the undoing of Elgar as he miss-judged one that seamed in from Anderson to be bowled for 11 and he was followed soon by opening partner Erwee who was out caught behind by Foakes of the bowling of Robinson. Markram didn't last long as he failed to capitalize on the opportunity he was given when he was bowled off a no-ball from Broad only to Edge Broad to Crawley in the slips an over later.

Keegan Petersen and Rassie Van der Dussen then showed some resistance as they put together a partnership of 87 before Van der Dussen was out caught by Foakes of the bowling of Stokes for a well-made 41 as he batted with a fractured finger on his right hand to trigger a collapse that would lead to England's massive victory. Keegan Petersen fell soon after for 42 caught behind Foakes bowled Stokes. Verreynne and Harmer then tried to show some resistance before England took the new ball and ran through the rest of the Proteas batting order as they bowled them out for 179. Harmer was bowled by Anderson and Rabada was caught by Root in slips and bowled by Anderson. Maharaj was out caught Pope in slips and bowled Robinson, Nortje was out next caught Foakes bowled Robinson and Ngidi was the last man out bowled by Robinson.
