South Africa vs England 2017: 4th Test, 5 talking points

#4 Anderson's sizzling spell turns game on its head

James Anderson produces a special spell

The game was right in the balance until James Anderson ran in from the James Anderson end and produced a rip-roaring spell in the first innings that tilted the game in England's favour. Anderson, who had already picked out Dean Elgar off the third ball of the innings, returned from the end named after him to dismissed Temba Bavuma, Faf du Plessis and Theunis de Bruyn in quick succession.

Bavuma and Du Plessis were forging a fine partnership when the England pace spearhead ran in and cleaned up Bavuma with a delivery angled into him. The South African skipper was next to go two balls later - inside edging Anderson onto the stumps. The Lancashire seamer next forced an edge from Theunis de Bruyn to finish a terrific spell.
