England beat South Africa in the fourth Test to take the series 3-1 overall.

They completed a 177-run win over their rivals at Old Trafford on Monday, 7 August, to beat the visitors for the first time in a home Test series since 1998.

England owe much to an inspired Moeen Ali, who take five wickets in the final Test and secured a hat-trick in the previous match.

It is Joe Root’s first win as captain. His next challenge is a three-Test series against West Indies, which begins with the first day-night match in this country at Edgbaston on 17 August.
