South Africa choose to bat first in the second one-day international, but Stuart Broad removes Herschelle Gibbs early on Captain Graeme Smith also departs to Broad, with Matt Prior diving in front of first slip to collect a fine catch Things only get worse for South Africa - and better for Broad - as Jacques Kallis edges to slip, Owais Shah taking the catch Broad can't stop taking wickets; JP Duminy is the next to go - to another Prior catch - and South Africa are in the mire at 36-4 The rout continues, Andrew Flintoff getting in on the act when he wins an lbw appeal against AB de Villiers It's all too easy as the sixth wicket falls with the score on 50, and South Africa seem to have no answer Broad takes his fifth wicket, finishing with wonderful figures of 5-23, as Johan Botha gives Prior another catch Steve Harmison has the luxury of beginning his spell with only the tailenders to bowl at, and he grabs two wickets in his only over Dale Steyn is bowled by Flintoff with the last ball of the 23rd over, and unbelievably South Africa have been bowled out for 83 Faced with the most straightforward of tasks, Prior and Ian Bell use up just 14.1 overs as South Africa are crushed by 10 wickets
