MANCHESTER, England : James Anderson hailed England’s all-round improvement and called inspirational captain Ben Stokes a"freak" as they thumped South Africa by an innings and 85 runs in the second test at Old Trafford on Saturday, setting up a series decider at The Oval.

"We spoke a lot after the last game about how we can be better and certainly with the ball we stuck to our guns and tried to keep attacking fields..." Anderson told Sky Sports. "It’s been two strange tests, both short matches. South Africa were not at their best this week, we weren’t at our best last week, so it will be interesting to see if we can both bring our ‘A-game’ to the decider."

"Everyone is clear on their role and what the captain and coach expect of them," Anderson said."That is a massive help, it takes away any doubt and allows you to focus on your job.
