As England celebrated a victory that put them within touching distance of their first home series win over South Africa in almost 20 years, the euphoria came with a health warning. Time and again over the past three years, that warning has made little impact: pride, England have discovered with worrying regularity, comes before a fall. The topsy-turvy nature of this series is just one example of their tendency to alternate between the excellent and the execrable. Joe Root's team won the first Test at Lord's by 211 runs, lost the second at Trent Bridge by 340, and have won the third at The Oval by 239.
