With opening day washed out and no play on Friday, concerns had been expressed as to whether game could be completed inside three days.
Only two Proteas batsmen made it past 20, recalled fast bowler Marco Jansen top-scoring with 30 and Khaya Zondo, in his first Test innings, making 23. Robinson took 5-49 in 14 overs, with veteran quick Stuart Broad returning figures of 4-41 in 12.3 overs as a match delayed by Thursday’s total washout and Friday’s abandonment due to the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, finally started on the third day of a scheduled five. Ollie Robinson returned the best figures of his England career as South Africa were dismissed for just 118 in the third and deciding Test at the Oval on Saturday.
Ollie Robinson got into the business from the word go and guided the English attack to put an early end to South Africa's first innings.
In a less polite way, he told me that was a load of rubbish.— Hayls 🌺 (@haysmbrown) [September 10, 2022] Thereon, it was the Robinson-Broad camaraderie that was visible. Jansen and Keshav Maharaj attempted a few shots and failed, but when England gradually adopted their short-ball strategy against the lower order, they took a gamble and were able to squeeze in a few runs. Although they both made it through a good time on the crease and saved South Africa from being bowled out for an action that would have been unbearably embarrassing by their standards, the partnership didn't continue long after lunch. England bowlers showcased sheer brilliance throughout their first innings against South Africa in the third and final Test of the three-match series.
South Africa manage just 69 for six at the Oval after tribues were paid to the Queen before play began.

But that ignored the fact that South Africa had thrashed England by an innings and 12 runs at Lord's inside three days before the hosts needed a similar amount of time to win the second Test in Manchester by an innings and 85 runs. But the bowler had his revenge when the batsman edged a ball that moves off the seam to Root at first slip. - The continuing overcast conditions at the Oval again favoured England's quicks and after a minute's silence had been observed in memory of the Queen After a minute's silence had been observed in memory of the Queen, with the first rendition at a major sporting event of 'God Save the King' -- Britain's now altered national anthem given Charles III is the new monarch, South Africa's longstanding top-order trouble again became apparent. With the opening day washed out without a ball bowled and no play on Friday following the death of Britain's longest-serving monarch on Thursday, concerns had been expressed as to whether the game could be completed inside three days. The Proteas were 69-6 at lunch on the third day, although this represented a recovery from 36-6, with Sussex seamer Robinson returning fine figures of 4-21 in eight overs.
England took six South African wickets in a devastating start to the decisive Third Test - here's how they blew the game wide open.
And, in keeping with England’s new attacking mantra with the ball, they pitched the ball up: only once since 2005 has a side bowled fuller in the first 20 overs of any Oval Test. In the first 20 overs, England found a good line and length with 54 per cent of deliveries, the third highest figures in the last 120 Tests in England. And England’s embrace of seam, allied to the skills of their three pace bowlers, meant that light relief for South Africa was scarce. Away from English climes, as England showed in Australia and the West Indies last winter, the best sort of attack is a varied attack. When the sun came out at lunchtime, it was as if to mock the South African batsmen. Perhaps the most important moment in the opening morning at The Oval came 48 hours earlier, when Ben Stokes won the toss.

ENG vs SA, Day 3: England are leading by 36 runs after Ollie Robinson's five-wicket haul helped them bowl South Africa out for 118 in their first innings.
Following his precious knock lower down the order, Jansen picked up four wickets for 34 runs in 11 overs. The right-arm pacer picked up five wickets and broke the backbone of the South African batting. After opting to field first, the Three Lions bowled the Proteas out for 118 in 36.2 overs.

While there remain question marks about both out-of-form England openers, they were temporarily brushed aside as Pope continued the adventurous approach. Before then was a carefully orchestrated tribute to the Queen, including the players entering the field through a military guard of honour, a minute's silence and the national anthems of both teams, with the crowd joining in a rendition of God Save the King before a spontaneous and prolonged ovation broke out. Marco Jansen top-scored in South Africa's innings with 30 - one of only two touring players to reach 20 - before his four for 34 pegged England back, and with the Proteas trailing by just 36, they remain firmly in the hunt.

From the moment of silence, the sombre adorning around the ground, to the singing of "God Save The King", it was note-perfect. To share our respects in the way we did was a huge honour for us and the silence that we experienced walking down those steps is something none of us have ever experienced. "Fortunately it was me and it's put the team in a great position going forward." The things we've noticed a little bit more is later on in the day, my pace has stayed more level compared to what it was maybe 12 months ago, which is something I've really worked on in the last three or four months. A recall in the second Test at Emirates Old Trafford at the expense of the impressive Matthew Potts represented a new chapter for Robinson, putting injury and general fitness issues behind him to take five in the match (1 for 48 and 4 for 43) as England levelled with an innings-and-85-run win. A total that meant even with the host's own missteps towards the end of Saturday, they lead by 36 with three wickets still in hand.

England seamer Ollie Robinson provides perfect pick-me-up with first Test five-for during the reign of a King since Lancashire spinner Malcolm Hilton in 1952...
These are early days, but no England bowler has taken more than his 49 Test wickets at a lower average since Frank Tyson terrorised the Australians in the 1950s. The fastest thing about him was his choice of food. But Robinson Mk II has learned his lesson, in the process relegating Broad to first change. Conditions were in his favour: the sky was grey, the pitch a light green. Earlier, spectators had remained silent in honour of the Queen; now, they roared for Robinson. By 2.30, he had five wickets, and no one was telling him to go easy on the celebrations.

Then came a rain delay and with it a final session of the day that saw South Africa sneak somewhat unexpectedly back into proceedings. After a more measured approach in the last Test, England here were back to pure uncut Bazball, the scoreboard racing along at around five an over for much of their innings.

The Test match between England and South Africa will begin at The Oval and the Women's T20I match between England and India will also go ahead at the Riverside in Durham Ultimately it was a fairly unbelievable day of cricket, from the moment of collective respect for a Queen whose reign had been long enough to encompass every Test victory in India’s cricketing history to the 17 wickets that fell in the sessions that followed it – an extraordinary day that was both this Test’s first and third and one we are unlikely to ever see the likes of again. England’s bowlers were superb right from the start, Ollie Robinson soon had the crowd on their feet once more, this time in celebration, Dean Elgar’s off stump sent flying through the air, silence from The Oval replaced by a joyous roar. Stuart Broad was excellent for his 4/41, but the star was Robinson who picked up a career best 5/49 to put England in a position of superiority that ultimately they may feel they had squandered a little by the close. There was the inevitable loss of the openers, but when Joe Root and then debutant Harry Brook were together with Ollie Pope in the middle, the hosts would have been eyeing a healthy first innings lead. There were cameos from Khaya Zondo and Marco Jansen, whose performance added further weight to the argument that his non-selection in the second Test was pure madness, but England soon had South Africa all out for 118, just sneaking into their top 50 worst totals of all time. There was perhaps a danger that the emotion of the moment could have overwhelmed some of the players, they can after all have never experienced a start to the day quite like it, however of the two sides it was not England who looked out of step to begin with. It began with spine-tingling silence, a capacity crowd of over 27,000 people on their feet and completely noiseless for almost ten minutes – from the moment the teams made their way down the dressing room steps until both national anthems had been sung, not a sound to be heard in the entire ground – an extraordinarily unified moment of solemn respect.
17 wickets fell on the third day of the final Test between England and South Africa, which was effectively the first playing day of the match.

It was shortly after England levelled the series in Manchester when Robinson revealed that he had ‘become a bit of a gym freak’. The type of cricket we want to play is brave cricket and be positive.

Combination of accuracy, movement and pressure - South Africa have no answer.— Adam Collins (@collinsadam) [September 10, 2022] As James Anderson dismissed the other opener, Sarel Erwee, Robinson nipped out the in-form number 3 Protea batter, Keegan Petersen. This meant that to win this 3-day Oval Test, and the series which stands 1-1 after two matches, England needed a quick-fire start with the ball. The first day of this Test was washed out after the toss had happened where Ben Stokes chose to bowl first.
