Morne Morkel gives South Africa a perfect start on the fourth morning as Tim Ambrose is bowled second ball of the day Paul Collingwood is lucky to survive an lbw appeal on 103 and makes good his escape in a bright partnership with Ryan Sidebottom Collingwood's confident strokeplay puts the pressure firmly on South Africa's beleaguered bowlers as England's lead moves past 250 But after Collingwood and Ryan Sidebottom put on 65, Morkel removes Sidebottom and James Anderson soon departs as well England lose their last three wickets for one run in 11 balls, Collingwood the last man out for 135 as Morkel takes 4-97 South Africa require an Edgbaston record 281 to win but start well and the pressure is quickly piled back onto England's bowlers But then Andrew Flintoff finally traps Neil McKenzie with an inswinging yorker and the first wicket falls with the total on 65 Jacques Kallis falls cheaply to Flintoff, and is furious after failing to sight the delivery out of the fast bowler's hand In all, four South African wickets fall between lunch and tea, Anderson and Monty Panesar each picking up one At tea, South Africa are 110-4 and England look favourites to win, although Graeme Smith is still there unbeaten on 55 But the final session is all about the brilliant batting of Smith, who completes his 16th Test century and fourth against England England only take one wicket in the final session, and South Africa race towards victory with a day to spare at Edgbaston Flintoff shakes Smith's hand after an epic Test as South Africa claim their first series win in England since 1965 Meanwhile, England's shell-shocked battalion wear empty expressions, and some may be axed before the final Test at The Oval
