Tough call for man of the match. A fantastic spell from Broad but I think Root rescuing England's innings from 91-4 and scoring a hundred on a pitch where only two men have made 50 probably just about edges him ahead.
Of course, this is assuming none of the South African bowlers do something truly extraordinary in the 4th innings.

I honestly don't know . I suspect Broad will get it , as his spell simply ripped the SA team apart .
Fabulous win England, both the game and the series. Broady is dynamite when he hits one of these hot spells ! What a good day its been !
18 wickets in one day on a good pitch, unbelievable stuff. We became favourites to win yesterday with Root's knock, but Broadcwas just brilliant today.
Couldn't see a result coming today after the pretty equal first innings. Amazing.
Strange catch from Taylor. Went between his legs, so he clamped them together and then had to reach back and catch it like he was laying an egg. 
A ladies bar at the cricket where you can get a massage and nails done while being waited on by tasty young men wearing waistcoats and bow ties, but no shirts. Disgraceful....wonder if we can get one built at SMS.
Yes...though last session was England's. If goes to form...SA should lose early wickets tomorrow.
Torn between cricket and Murray....usually means I miss everything. Murray set up, but down in 2nd...playing well though. Konta through to last 16.
BBC's view of Abbott wicket
Missing off, missing leg, crashing into the middle of middle. Kyle Abbott is plumber than Plumby McPlumb, winner of last year's Mr Plumb contest on the planet Plumb. Ben Stokes does the trick for England, who will still hope that South Africa can be done for under 400.
