Nortje finished with match figures of 6-110 as South Africa completed a crushing victory inside three days in London to go 1-0 up in a three-match series.

LONDON - South Africa fast bowler Anrich Nortje paid tribute to captain Dean Elgar's "honesty" after the Proteas' innings and 12-run rout of England in the first Test at Lord's.

There was no way back for England, who were dismissed for 149 in under 38 overs, with South Africa's bowlers effectively giving themselves some unexpected, but valuable, extra rest ahead of Thursday's second Test at Manchester's Old Trafford. Nortje, who occasionally got carried away with short-pitched bowling at Lord's before reverting to a fuller length, added: "He will tell you if it is not good enough and at stages that is what happened.

"It paid off here and hopefully it pays off again but he does encourage me to try to express myself as a bowler," Nortje explained.
