Johannesburg: Alastair Cook credited a 'kick up the a'''' from coach Trevor Bayliss for England's stunning victory charge in Johannesburg.

Cook praised the usually taciturn Bayliss for his fiery address: "Trev gave us a kick up the a''' at lunch.
"Rather than sulking about it the lads looked at themselves, led by Broady, and I think there was a real intensity in the field for that two-hour session."
