Opener Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope scored centuries in a stand worth 245 runs, the West Indies' biggest partnership in England in 33 years.

Quick bowlers Shannon Gabriel and Kemar Roach had four wickets each to lift West Indian spirits and restrict England from achieving a massive score.

The skipper insisted that the team have just lost one game and not the series, so they have to regroup and believe that they can come back in the series.

Joe Root and Alastair Cook eased England's concerns over how they would deal with the challenge of batting against the pink ball with a 248-run partnership for the third wicket.

Anderson, who recently turned 35, has notched up a total of 487 wickets in 126 Tests at an average of 27.90, but his 43 on Australian turf have come at a more expensive average of 38.44.

The Yorkshireman is aware that he will have to warn those who have not experienced an away Ashes series before.

Moeen Ali took 5-69 to settle the fourth and final Test on Monday, giving England a 177-run victory at Old Trafford, a 3-1 series win, and ending a 19-year drought at home against South Africa.

Rain brought early stumps at Old Trafford, and Ali and Stuart Broad will return on Day 4 with a 400-run lead in sight. As it stands, England is still favourite to seal a 3-1 series victory to start the tenure of new captain Joe Root.

Bairstow's brilliant batting and Anderson's important haul at his home ground set England up for a big first-innings lead and in a dominant position in the fourth Test at Old Trafford vs South Africa.

In-form Ben Stokes was bowled for 58 by pacer Kagiso Rabada an over before the close at Old Trafford, giving South Africa a late boost against England at the end of Day 1 in the fourth Test at Manchester.

The pacer, who has 10 wickets in the series, spent the second night of the Oval Test in hospital on a drip and was unable to bowl as he had to make back time he had spent off the pitch ill.

In the batsmen's rankings, Cheteshwar Pujara is the top ranked Indian at the fourth position while opener Shikhar Dhawan climbed 21 places to be ranked 39th.

Ali's dismissal of South Africa's last three batsmen in three balls across two overs handed England a 239-run victory and a 2-1 series lead ahead of Friday's fourth and final test in Manchester.

After Philander's condition failed to improve, he was rushed to the nearby hospital for further investigation.

South Africa's seam attack, led by Vernon Philander, enjoyed the cloudy and humid conditions that led to extravagant swing on Day 1 of the third Test against England at Kennington Oval.

Tom Westley will make his England debut against South Africa as Gary Ballance's replacement in the third Test at The Oval next week.

The former Australian bowler also believes England, who have suffered defeat in eight Tests of their previous 13 matches, would struggle to beat the Steve Smith-led side at their own home ground.

None of the England batsmen were able to contribute much in the side's second innings, with former skipper and opener Alastair Cook being the top scorer with 42 runs.

Joe Root now has to muster his men for the two remaining Tests with doubts growing over the makeup of the top three batsmen, a crucial part of the team.
