That's it from me, Sahil and Andrew McGlashan. Thanks for joining us.
Before then India have their third Test against Sri Lanka and Australia play the second Test against West Indies, both start on Wednesday.
Andrew Miller's bulletin is well worth a read and we look forward to bringing you the final game on Friday 4th December at 2.30pm.
Andrew Strauss collects the winning cheque and says it was a good toss to lose. He praised the bowling unit for their all-round effort.
James Anderson takes the man of the match award for his 5 for 23.
Graeme Smith is very disappointed, he says that anything between 220 and 240 would have been competitive. He calls it a battle of the inconsistencies, which is about right for this fluctuating series. Smith praises Alviro Petersen and Johan Botha, who were both impressive.
All that remains is the post-match ceremony
Given the talent of South Africa's top four batsmen, 119 is not good enough. They have questions over their balance and Gibbs waiting in the wings so it will be interesting to see how selection goes for the series finale.
Jimmy Anderson's five-wicket haul pretty much sealed this one and means England can't lose this series.
Slightly tame finish but England were almost as dominant today as South Africa were at Cape Town.
Well, beaten by 112 runs one game and win by 7 wickets in the next. These sides look evenly matched, especially with Kallis missing.

Mickey Arthur's departure as South Africa coach is confirmation of where the power lies in the dressing room. Coaches might pick the team but they certainly don't have total control or accountability for team affairs
