England emerged victorious in their Youth Test series against South Africa Under-19 Men when they won the decisive second match by 10 wickets on day four at Western Province Cricket Club in Cape Town on Thursday.
The home side, resuming on 145/8 on the final morning and with just a slender lead of 16, managed to add only eight more to their total to set the tourists 25.
And Ben Dawkins (12*) and captain Archie Vaughan (10*) wasted little time in getting there as they secured a 1-0 series win after going down 2-1 in the Youth One-Day International leg of the tour.
The skipper was their star with the ball in the second innings after finishing with 6/19 in 16 overs. Having taken five wickets on Wednesday, he made the early breakthrough on the last morning by bowling Sandiswa Yeni for a duck.
Eddie Jack (1/22) got the better of last man Nqobani Mokoena for 19 as the hosts fell for 153.
Dawkins and Vaughan needed only 21 balls to close out the game handing the English a comfortable victory.
