James Anderson [ Images ] took a career-best five for 23 to set up an overwhelming England [ Images ] win against South Africa [ Images ] on Sunday, putting the tourists 2-1 up in the series with one to play.

Anderson's devastating performance helped England bowl South Africa out for just 119 and inspired a seven-wicket victory in the fourth One-Day International.

South Africa, who had elected to bat, were shot out in 36.5 overs. England overtook their score within 32 overs, with Jonathan Trott celebrating an unbeaten half-century.

Stuart Broad [ Images ] removed Graeme Smith [ Images ] in the second over and Anderson then struck two blows, dismissing Hashim Amla [ Images ] and JP Duminy [ Images ] as the hosts slumped to 35 for three.

AB de Villiers [ Images ], fresh off an imperious match-winning century in the third ODI, played some commanding strokes early on as he scored 22 before Tim Bresnan [ Images ] zipped a delivery into his pads and won an lbw decision, despite the ball being in danger of missing leg-stump due to his wide angle of delivery.

Anderson then returned for a superb spell of three for six in four overs that effectively settled the match.

South Africa's total of 119 was their lowest in a home ODI.

England openers Andrew Strauss [ Images ] and Trott then eased their way to 74 before off-spinner Johan Botha [ Images ] trapped the visiting captain leg-before for 32 and had Kevin Pietersen [ Images ] caught for three in a fine spell of two for 22 in eight overs.

Trott stayed through to the end, however, scoring a top-class 52 not out off 77 balls, while Eoin Morgan [ Images ] made 28 not out in 40 balls in the canter to victory.

South Africa will attempt to level the series in the final match in Durban Friday.
