Graeme Swann took five for 54 as England wrapped up victory by an innings and 98 runs on the fifth day of the second Test against South Africa at Kingsmead on Wednesday. The win gave England a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.
It took England just 75 minutes to complete their win after South Africa resumed in a hopeless situation at 76 for six on Wednesday morning. They were bowled out for 133.
"It's not far off the best performance I've seen by an England team," said England captain Andrew Strauss, "but I'm aware the series is very much alive and there is still hard work to be done."
South African captain Graeme Smith admitted his side had been outplayed. "We've got to look at ourselves in the mirror and bounce back very quickly," he said.
The third Test starts in Cape Town on Sunday.
