England win Test

England have beaten South Africa by 241 runs in the first Test in Durban to take a 1–0 lead in the four–Test series.

Three early wickets for off-spinner Moeen Ali and one for Steven Finn left the hapless Proteas reeling on 155 for eight in Durban this morning.

With his side resuming on 136 for four and needing an improbable 416 to win, captain and pivotal batting hope AB De Villiers was out for 37 to the third ball of the day, leg before wicket to Moeen to a delivery that kept low.

He was soon followed by Temba Bavuma, stumped by Jonny Bairstow for a duck off the same bowler, before Finn picked up his fourth wicket of the innings by bowling night watchman Dale Steyn, who made only two.

Kyle Abbott was leg before wicket to Moeen soon after, Dane Piedt was caught by James Taylor off Chris Woakes and Stuart Broad trapped Morne Morkel leg before wicket to dismiss the hosts for a paltry 174.

JP Duminy was unbeaten on 26.
