ALI SPINS PAST TUFFERS

-

DURING his secondinni­ngs five for 69, Moeen moved clear of four spinners in England’s all-time Test wicket-taking list. He now has 123, five more than 19th-century slow left-armer Johnny Briggs, and ahead of MOEEN dismissed 12 of the 14 South Africans who took part in this series, with only Faf du Plessis and JP Duminy escaping his clutches. EIGHT of Moeen’s victims were caught by Ben Stokes, and five fell for ducks. He finished the Oval Test with a hat-trick and this Test with two wickets in two balls.
