Port Elizabeth

During the 82nd over of the South African second innings, Maharaj started off by slamming three consecutive boundaries off the first three deliveries before hitting two balls into the park. The last ball went for four byes as Root's over resulted in 28 runs and this is the joint most runs scored in an over in the longest format.

The hosts lost the third Test by an innings and 53 runs as England took a 2-1 lead in the series.

The final match of the series will be played in Johannesburg from January 24.
