South Africa shot England out for 149 on Friday to clinch the first Test by an innings and 12 runs inside three days at Lord’s to go 1-0 up in the three-match series. It was an outstanding show from South Africa’s bowling attack, who nullified the threat of England’s hyper-aggressive batting, securing a 161-run first innings lead before wrapping up the hosts’ second innings in only 37.4 overs to seal the deal. Anrich Nortje took three wickets in 10 balls, removing Jonny Bairstow (18 runs), opener Alex Lees (35) and Ben Foakes (0) to return figures of 3-47.
