South Africa captain Graeme Smith was delighted by the "perfect" way his side replaced England as the world's number one Test side as they held their nerve in a 51-run win at Lord's late on Monday.
Victory gave South Africa the three-match series 2-0 after they'd crushed England by an innings and 12 runs in the first Test at The Oval before the second Test in Leeds was drawn.
England, set an imposing victory target of 346 to win, were bowled out for 294 on the final day, with man-of-the-match Vernon Philander taking two wickets in two balls with the new ball to end the contest as he finished with an impressive innings return of five for 30.
