The New Zealander, a high priest of the positive approach that brought him four straight Test wins this summer, claimed he was at peace with the incident and then spoke of not overreacting. But even McCullum must have been privately taken aback by a three-day defeat that, in just 171.5 overs, actually lasted less than two. This was a first defeat for Ben Stokes as full-time captain and cast minds back to last winter’s Ashes. The coup de grace was certainly similar, Jimmy Anderson channeling the inside of Ollie Robinson at Hobart when he fell back and Marco Jansen lasering a yorker at the base of his stumps. With that final blow, England were all out for a paltry 149 – some 16 runs less than their first innings – and Elgar’s players could begin to celebrate a handsome victory that had been set up by Anrich’s hostile three-wicket haul Nortje after lunch. Perhaps this was Test cricket that paid off in more ways than one. not just slapping England with a wet fish after their early summer exploits, but also the managers who have prevented South Africa from committing to the bigger format. The Proteas do not return to England in the next four-year cycle and, after a three-match series in Australia later this year, face a diet of two-match affairs. This is such a shame because the tourists, leaders in the current World Test Championship, have been forging a potential bowling attack for a long time now. Spearheaded by Kagiso Rabada, his name now on the honors board after five wickets in the first innings, they boast guile, art, raw pace and an uncannily high left arm. And don’t forget an experienced spinner in Keshav Maharaj, who led the charge on day three when he continued Zak Crawley’s misery and sent Ollie Pope packing for lunch.

But slumping to 116 for six in the opening exchanges could have been overcome had England been able to deal with the constant threat of their visitors. In contrast, Stokes’ bowlers looked rusty after the six-week break in red-ball cricket, were wedded to his slightly prescriptive designs and, as a group of right-arm medium pacers, offered far less variety overall.

That was revealed as South Africa amassed a total of 326 for a 161-run lead, at least on the third morning when, after Stuart Broad ignited the first over with a stunning one-handed catch to remove Rabada, Stokes and Matt Potts. he shared the second new ball, but it went just short. Like the night before, when Maharaj raided 41 runs from No. 8, it allowed Nortje to shovel 28 more runs onto their pile. Anderson, who is not known to have been injured, was curiously a spectator here before Broad was finally wiped out. When it was England’s turn to bat again, they were bowled over by Elgar, who turned to Maharaj in just the eighth over and saw his left-armer reduce the hosts to 38 for two by lunch. Bowled from the Nursery End, and so against the slope, Maharaj took advantage of Crawley’s dropped third ball and trapped Pope on the back foot off the last ball of the session. Umpire Richard Illingworth dismissed the second of these appeals, but Elgar’s direct criticism was rewarded. Although still 123 runs in arrears, it need not have been terminal and Alex Lees, trying to atone for the early stages of the innings, held steady at the other end. But with the Lord’s crowd still digesting their ticket, South Africa’s quicks quickly settled this contest in emphatic style, sparking a collapse of four for 29 off 53 balls that began when Lungi Ngidi produced a beautiful delivery to Joe Root who flew into the hands of the third. slip. With one of the two pillars of England’s early summer success gone, Elgar then introduced the pace of Nortje to settle the second in Jonny Bairstow. It was a one-sided affair on the first day and not much different the second time around, the Yorkshireman muscled a couple of blocks before cutting a 91mph delivery that clipped. Lees then fell for 35 in Nortje’s follow-up, another beauty tickling the outside edge, with Ben Foakes falling to his second anemic poke of the match two balls later. The scoreboard at 86 for six meant Stokes was joined by Broad and so began England’s long run. And through some farm hitting from the last over, including a hooked six behind the square en route to a 35-for-29, the pair managed to put on 55 for the seventh wicket. But things soon fell apart once again, Broad being bowled by a slower ball from Rabada and Stokes caught in the deep on 20 when, having seen Potts bowled trying to sweep Jansen, there was no choice but to swing. Once Anderson had made his way to Robinson in Tasmania, all that was left for the crowd to watch were the handshakes. It was 3.49 pm. and South Africa could begin to celebrate their fifth Test win at Lord’s since re-admission and sixth overall. When they will return is uncertain, unfortunately, but the current generation has made its mark.
