England Women beat South Africa Women 130 and 229 by an innings and 96 runs
Scorecard
England completed an innings victory over South Africa in the second and final Test at Taunton with over a day and a half to spare. It was England's first Test success in eight years, and wrapped up a 1-0 series win.
The South Africans, who looked a tired side throughout the match, showed only brief glimpses that they were prepared to put up much of a fight after they started the day 248 runs adrift with seven wickets in hand. When Clare Taylor trapped Johmari Logtenberg leg-before inside the first half-hour their chances of making England bat almost disappeared.
Taylor proved almost impossible to get away - she returned the remarkable figures of 13-10-5-3 - and when two quick wickets from Charlotte Edwards reduced South Africa to 133 for 6 the game looked done and dusted. But Cri-Zelda Brits staged a spirited fightback as she cracked 61 off 67 balls. Taylor ended the fun with the first ball of her third spell. The match ended in anti-climax when Nolababalu Ndzundzu retired hurt.
