PORT ELIZABETH: England won the third test on Monday, but made heavy weather of wrapping up South Africa's tail on the last day at St George’s Park to go 2-1 up in the series after a dominant innings and 53-run victory.
Maharaj and Paterson put on a ground test record partnership of 99 for the last wicket as they frustrated the England bowlers. "It's a great template for how we want to play our test cricket with big first innings score and drive it on from there," said England captain Joe Root.It took just three balls on Monday for England to claim their first victim as Stuart Broad forced Vernon Philander to play an inside edge onto his pad that popped up for Ollie Pope to take his sixth catch of the match.
Dom Bess' first over saw him skid a ball on to bowl Anrich Nortje , leaving Paterson to join Maharaj for a late cameo that proved the home side’s best partnership of a poor test performance.Root bowled 10 successive overs as he went in search for a first test five wicket haul, having taken four overnight, but without success.
