Stokes is in some sparkling form at the moment. Shame he's out.
How long before people start asking questions about Taylor again? Not me specifically... yet, but he did seem to have a temperament problem today.

Excellent century. Well played, Root.

Honestly, I've never been overly convinced about Taylor but he does deserve his chance.
Fantastic century by Root though, and always fun to watch Stokes bat.

Broad is a treat to watch when he is having one of these magic spells.

Only Botham and Anderson have more test wickets for England than Stuart Broad, and South Africa lead by 21 with 3 wickets down.

5/14 for Broad now, he's ripping through the Saffers!

Did I hear someone say "Trent Bridge"?

Okay, Taylor is justifying his place in the side.

- 74 to win. - Broad finishes with 6/17 - Broad has 330 wickets in 90 Tests at 28.54 - Broad is only behind Botham and Anderson for England wicket takers - Stokes' bowling average drops below 40.
Fun session.

Ha, bit of a sloppy chase but there's the series win!

"Sloppy" an understatement, but hey - we'll take it.
I have to admit, though, I'm disappointed. Test cricket needs good close matches, not the Number 1 team disintegrating.

Since January 2013 Broad has taken 158 wickets at 24.86 and Anderson has 141 at 26.57.

Broad is one of the best bowlers in the world, I don't think there's any doubt about that.
Shame he's a bit of a git at the same time...
