It was not simply the highest order although, star batsmen Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, who had been in prolific kind in opposition to New Zealand and India failed to attain any half centuries as properly throughout the 2 innings. The win signifies that South Africa cemented their place within the third place of the World Test Championships and would now try to do higher within the international circumstances. The SA tempo assault already uncovered the English line-up as soon as and might presumably repeat as soon as once more if the circumstances are of their favour.
