England vs South Africa 2017, 4th Test: Day 3, 5 talking points

#3 Olivier gets Root a second time

Despite not having the best of Tests, Olivier got rid of Root twice

Duanne Olivier was probably not in South Africa's scheme of things even when Vernon Philander was a doubtful starter for the Test. But with Morris sidelined, the Proteas went back to the hustling Knights seamer. A hit-the-deck seamer with relentless consistency in line and length, Olivier was below par at Trent Bridge, and seemed equally ineffective here until he trapped Joe Root in front in the first innings.

If that felt like a one-off incident, Olivier quickly disassembled that motion by cleaning up the England skipper with him one short of yet another half-century. Root chopped the seamer back onto his stumps to depart for 49. Olivier soon got rid of Ben Stokes and Johnny Bairstow as well to help South Africa in their bid to make a comeback.
