ENG vs SA 3rd Test: Pacer Ollie Robinson puts England on top with five-wicket haul to bundle out South Africa for a paltry 118 in first innings
Robinson took 5-49 in 14 overs, with veteran quick Stuart Broad returning figures of 4-41 in 12.3 overs as a match delayed by Thursday’s total washout and Friday’s abandonment due to the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, finally started on the third day of a scheduled five.
The third five-wickets in an innings haul of 28-year-old Sussex seamer’s Robinson’s 11-match Test career surpassed his previous best at this level of 5-65 against India at Headingley last year.
South Africa’s first innings — they had lost the toss on Thursday before bad weather prevented the match from starting on time – – was completed in a mere 36.2 overs.
Only two Proteas batsman made it past 20, recalled fast bowler Marco Jansen top-scoring with 30 and Khaya Zondo, in his first Test innings, making 23.
The three-match series is level at 1-1.
