England’s Stuart Broad looks out dejectedly from the dressing room balcony as South Africa claim victory on the fourth day of the second Test between England and South Africa at Trent Bridge. AFP

South Africa’s Vernon Philander (2L) was in terrific form, breaking the back of England with 3/24 in 10 overs, that included the wickets of Keaton Jennings and Gary Ballance early, and the big wicket of Ben Stokes. AFP

Ben Stokes could not live up to the expectations on him as he was prised out by Vernon Philander for 18. Coupled with his 12-ball duck in the first innings, this turned out to be a pretty forgettable Test for him. AFP

South Africa’s left-arm orthodox bowler Keshav Maharaj (C) also had a successful outing in this match and took 3/42 in the second innings to go with his 3/21 in the first innings. Reuters

South Africa’s Quinton de Kock (L) appeals for the wicket of England’s Moeen Ali. Ali, ordinarily a dependable batsman for England in the middle order, did not have a great time at Trent Bridge, and was one of Maharaj’s three victims in the 2nd innings. AFP

A lot depended on England captain Joe Root, especially after his near-double century in the first Test and a sparkling 78 in the first innings of this Test. But he failed in the 2nd innings and was clean bowled by Chris Morris. AFP

One of England’s premier batsmen, Alastair Cook, was found wanting against the South African pacers too. He departed fending at a short-pitched delivery from Morris to wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock - a huge wicket for the Proteas. AFP

England’s Keaton Jennings is bowled by South Africa’s Vernon Philander. Jennings could score only 0 and 3 in two innings of this Test, and would want to forget this match in a hurry. AFP
)
England’s Gary Ballance leaves the field after being given out on review for 4 runs. His wicket meant that England were 28/2 in the 12th over of the innings and in some early discomfort. AFP

Alastair Cook is always a prized scalp for the opposition and understandably, the joy of the South African players knew no bounds when they saw the back of the crafty England opener. AP
