George Lohmann finished with 15/45 in the match

South Africa won the toss and put England in. Left arm medium pacer Bonnor Middleton took a five-wicket haul as England were dismissed for 185 in the 1st innings.

George Lohmann was the destroyer in chief when England came on to bowl. He finished with 7/38 as the Proteas were dismissed for 93 in the 1st innings.

Sammy Woods scored a fine half-century in the 2nd innings as England posted a competitive 226 in their 2nd innings, after getting a lead of 92.

Chasing 319 to win, the Proteas looked totally out of sorts and started losing wickets nearly every over. Even in the 2nd innings, George Lohmann bowled a terrific spell that bundled out the Proteas for their lowest ever score in Test cricket till date. Lohmann finished with insane figures of 8/7 as England completed a victory by 288 runs.
