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.
