When speedster Anrich Nortje notched up a maiden five-wicket haul in his fledging Test career a year ago, the Proteas were in a perilous position that bordered on the ridiculous and embarrassment.

Visiting England had scored 400 and by stumps on the second day at the Wanderers in Johannesburg the Proteas slumped to 88 for six in their reply during a series which the Proteas embarrassingly lost 3-1 after taking the lead in the opening Test match.

Nortje ended with figures of six wickets for 56 runs in 14.3 overs with one maiden while he offered no extras. Elgar, who reached the milestone of 4000 Test runs, was on 19 off 18 balls while Markram was on three off 12 as the tea break came with the Proteas 22 for no loss of a wicket after facing five overs.
