The England fielders get into a huddle of joy around the bowler. Patel has the ball and he leads the side off the field. The South Africans are lined up in the stairs to shake hands with the victorious England team. One by one the England players hug Peter Moores, the coach, in the dressing room.
That's it from us. On behalf of my scorer Raghav, this is Sriram Veera, signing off.
