After being thrashed inside three days in the first Test at Lord's, England bounced back in stunning fashion as they steamrollered South Africa inside three days to level the series at Old Trafford.
From the moment Proteas captain Dean Elgar decided to bat after winning the toss, England have virtually dominated the Test match as they won by an innings and 85 runs. Captain Ben Stokes was the star of the show with both bat and ball as he scored a magnificent century and picked up four crucial wickets in the match.
England began day three firmly in control thanks to hundreds from Stokes and wicketkeeper Ben Foakes and proceeded to take three quick wickets for just 21 runs to reduce South Africa to 54-3. James Anderson, Ollie Robinson and Stuart Broad made the breakthroughs, with Anderson uprooting Elgar's off stump to send him packing for 11, Robinson nicking off Sarel Erwee for 25 and Broad removing Aiden Markram for six.
