After taking a 1-0 lead in the series, South Africa elected to bat against England in the second Test at Old Trafford in Manchester.

However, things did not go as planned for the Proteas as opener Sarel Erwee was given his marching orders early by veteran pacer James Anderson.

Playing his 100th home Test, the 40-year-old, who was bowling from the end of the stadium named after him -- the 'James Anderson End' -- produced a nip-backer to wrongfoot Erwee, who got a thick inside edge on his way to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes, who showed quick reflexes to take a fine catch.

James Anderson believes England's positive style of Test cricket has changed the way people view the longest format of the game around the world as they stand on the brink of victory over South Africa in the third Test at The Oval. England need a further 33 runs to claim the series 2-1 and with 10 second innings wickets remaining, that looks a formality after they showed measured aggression with both bat and ball to take the game away from the tourists. Anderson has spoken before of the enjoyment the England team has in playing with freedom and credits coach Brendon McCullum for changing the face of the five day game.
