The tourists had resumed their second innings on 23 without loss after England's mammoth 415-9 on Friday, but Anderson and fellow seamer Ollie Robinson (4-43) were excellent with their line and length to level the three-match series at 1-1.The third test will be at The Oval from Sept.

8. South Africa won the first match by an innings and 12 runs at Lord's."It's amazing to come back from last week's disappointment at Lord's to put in the performance we have done.

It gives us a lot of confidence and sets up the series nicely," England captain Ben Stokes said at the post-match presentation. "It was one of those wickets where you didn't think you could hit through the line (as a batsman), some balls bounced and others skidded through."The progression from us (as a team) has been if you have that clear mindset and the positivity to score, that makes things a lot easier." England had toiled through the middle session without taking a wicket.
