Joe Root led England
to a long-awaited home collection win over the Proteas in his first challenge as captain.
Root has been showing his class in batting for long like Steve Smith, Virat Kohli, Ken Williamson and AB de Villiers. This series has given a new dimension to his captaincy. Like Smith, Kohli, Williamson and AB de, Root also showed his class beating South African by means of 9-1 in check series.
The younger English captain started out his captaincy with victory.
In that match, Moeen Ali claimed 5 wickets as England achieved a 177-run win over South Africa in the fourth Test at Old Trafford to seal a 3-1 collection victory.
The Proteas, chasing an unlikely 380, have been bowled out for 202, with James Anderson also choosing up 3-16.
England were held up by Hashim Amla, who made 83, but after he was once dismissed they misplaced their closing seven wickets for 39 runs.
It is England's first home Test collection win towards South Africa seeing that 1998.
More Moeen magic
Moeen had blasted a thrilling sixty seven on the 1/3 evening and was once left unbeaten on seventy five as England lost their last two wickets to be bowled out in their 2nd innings for 243.
After Anderson, Stuart Broad and Toby Roland-Jones took a wicket apiece, Moeen was asked to wheel away with his off-spin, solely to be thwarted by way of the imperious Amla.
But, when he switched ends, he trapped Amla leg before and labored thru the rest of the South Africa line-up.
Quinton de Kock performed a free force to slash to gully and Theinus de Bruyn tamely edged to slip.
Moeen ended the 1/3 Test at The Oval with a hat-trick and closed this suit with two wickets in two balls—Morne Morkel holed out to mid-off and Duanne Olivier nicked to slip.
Moeen is the first man to take 25 wickets and score greater than 250 runs in a four-match Test series.
