A five-match Test series between hosts England and South Africa stood at a deadlock of 1-1 after the first three Test matches. In the fourth Test at Leeds, Headingley, South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first. Kallis was out only for six runs as the African team scored 342 runs.

Kallis shone with the ball and snared three important wickets of the English batting unit and helped the team get a 35-run lead. The all-rounder scored 41 when batting for the second time and England had to score 401 runs to win the Test match.

Registering his best bowling figures in Test cricket, Kallis ran through the English resistance and claimed six wickets for 54 runs. Kallis’ six victims contained Mark Butcher, Nasser Hussain, Michael Vaughan, Andrew Flintoff, and two others. England crashed to 209 all out as South Africa celebrated a mammoth 191-run victory.
