England dominate South Africa in Test
Captain Joe Root top scored as England took a huge 465-run lead over South Africa on the third day of the fourth cricket test and were bowled out for 248 just before stumps in their second innings at The Wanderers.
The score left them with two days to dismiss their hosts, who will have to chase an improbable fourth-innings target if they are to win the test and level the series at 2-2.
Fourteen wickets fell on a busy Sunday that saw South Africa dismissed for 183 at lunch, 217 runs behind England's first-innings score of 400.
Root did not enforce the follow on but instead rammed home his team's advantage as England batted briskly in their second innings before the captain was the last man out.
Root scored 58, Dom Sibley made 44, Sam Curran an entertaining 35 and Ben Stokes 28 with Hendricks finishing on 5-64 off 15.3 overs.
Openers Zak Crawley and Sibley put on a 56-run opening-wicket partnership in a positive second-innings start before Crawley was out for 24.
