Stuart Broad took a career-best five wickets on Tuesday to lead England to a resounding 10-wicket win over South Africa in the second one-day international at Trent Bridge, Nottingham.

The tourists crumbled to 83 all out, their second lowest one-day total, as Broad's pace and control brought him 5-23 at his home ground.

England openers Ian Bell and Matt Prior, who had earlier taken six catches behind the stumps, then knocked off the winning runs in just 14.1 overs to give England a 2-0 series lead with three matches to play.

But it was Broad's performance that dominated the day, although his figures could have been even better until Andre Nel hit three boundaries off his 10th and final over.

Even so, Broad's bowling performance was the fifth best ever by an Englishman in ODIs.

"What's happened today is very special, but we're a long way from winning the series," England captain Kevin Pietersen said. "Today was an exceptional game by everybody, especially Broady.

"Wins like this are here to enjoy, but we've got to turn up for training on Thursday and put the hard yards in."

Nel was South Africa's leading scorer with a quick-fire 13 from seven balls after coming in at No. 9, showing how close South Africa came to falling short of its lowest ever one-day total. That was the 69 it managed against Australia in 1993.

Prior took four of his six catches off Broad's bowling, while Andrew Flintoff continued his return to bowling form with 3-29. Steve Harmison bowled just one over, but still took two wickets for just four runs.

"I can only apologize for a very poor performance," South Africa captain Graeme Smith said. "People have paid their money and rightly feel they've not seen a contest."

South Africa had made a solid start after winning the toss until Broad had Herschelle Gibbs caught behind for 10 to make it 16-1 in the fourth over. Smith went the same way two overs later as Prior dived across Owais Shah at first slip to take a dramatic one-handed catch.

Shah did get a catch when Jacques Kallis fell to Broad for six, but JP Duminy then fell to the Broad-Prior combination to make it 36-4.

AB de Villiers went leg-before-wicket to Flintoff, who then had Mark Boucher caught behind by Prior for 10 off 33 balls - making him the only other batsman to reach double figures.

Broad got rid of Johan Botha for one off 16 balls to go to 5-11 off 9.2 overs, before Nel slightly tarnished the paceman's final figures.

But the relief lasted hardly long and Nel was out to Harmison's first ball to make it 68-8. A four from Albie Morkel took South Africa past its previous lowest mark.
