NOTTINGHAM, England (Reuters) - South Africa took full advantage of an abject England batting display on Monday to complete a crushing 340-run win in the second test at Trent Bridge which leveled the series 1-1 with two games remaining.
Defeat was Joe Root's first as captain in his second game in charge, and England's eighth loss in 13 matches. But it was the manner of their capitulation inside 45 overs and with a day and a half to spare that will trouble Root most.
