England sealed a six-wicket victory over South Africa in the final Test at The Oval to hand Kevin Pietersen a winning start as Test captain.
Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook put on 123 as England looked set to cruise to the 197 needed for the consolation win. Cook departed for a fluent 67, but Ian Bell made only four and three balls later Strauss (58) fell at leg gully.
Pietersen departed with 15 needed and Andrew Flintoff hit the winning runs with a six to make the series 2-1.
