South Africa share series

England have collapsed to 169 all out as South Africa wrapped up an innings and 74 run victory at The Wanderers to share the four-Test series.

The tourists, who had needed only a draw in Johannesburg to pull off an improbable 1-0 success, were instead beaten just before lunch on the fourth day.

Morne Morkel (four for 59) was the man who at last ensured South Africa would land the 'knockout blow' their captain Graeme Smith had been craving, taking three wickets for no runs in seven balls to put paid to England's apparent decision to pin all hopes of survival on an ambitious counter-attack.
