England's second innings was a lot better than the first. Talha Hayat (@CerealKiller) overcame a run of middling scores to bring up a maiden Test hundred, as England set South Africa a target of 292 in order to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the series with only one match to play.

In response, South Africa capitulated to a mere 188 to give England victory by a 103-run margin in the 3rd Test of the 2017 Basil D'Oliveira Trophy. Shravan Hotha (@swacker) and Moeen Ali both played their parts well with 3 wickets apiece amid the wreckage. England had now secured an unassailable 2-1 lead in the 4-match Test series, thus dashing South Africa's chances of regaining the trophy that they had lost in 2015/16.

@Aislabie @Pinch hitter


Lineup rules

1) A proper wicket-keeper (:wk:/:wkb:/:arwk:) in your XI.
2) A minimum of 6 players marked to bowl.
3) Players ruled out due to injury cannot be selected.
4) The time limit for posting lineups is 120 hours. I will go with a random lineup if neither captain nor vice captain posts a lineup within that period.
5) Please also tag all PC members selected in your lineup post.

Explanation on pitch types

Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
Green - A lot of movement on offer, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Quite regular to find in most European countries.
Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way.
Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]
 
Moeen man of the match?
Great to get a Test hundred. Now let's wrap up the series.
 
A brilliant match and a fantastic win. Feels great to be a consistent wicket-taker for the side, and it is even better if it results in a win for the team.
 
Would love to see the stats on how I am performing.
 
Quite busy at work currently, so will have to hand this responsibility to my vice again - sorry!

With Dean Elgar batting the way he was, the South Africans looked all set to give England a strong reply in their first innings. Then Lance Hardwood (@Na Maloom Afraad) happened, and they suddenly found themselves conceding a 75-run lead to their opponents.

Josh King (@Aggz) missed out on a century, again. England had set South Africa a challenging target of 332 with a little more than 2 days remaining in the Test match.

As if it were almost foretold, Moeen Ali ripped through South Africa's lineup to claim 6 for 57, thus bowling England to a 82-run victory and consequently 3-1 victory in the Test series. Heino Kuhn finally played an innings of substance in Test cricket and Faf du Plessis seemed to regain his lost touch, but it was too little too late for South Africa.
