September 11, 2022 10:28 PM
England were set a target of 130 to win the third Test against South Africa, and with it the series, at The Oval on Sunday.
South Africa were dismissed for 169 in their second innings on the fourth day, with no Proteas batsman making more than captain Dean Elgar's 36.
Thursday's opening day was washed out without a ball bowled before Friday's play was abandoned following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
