I did say it is very rare, so he is the exception to the rule at the moment and in fairness to him he has done well but his partners havent been able to stick around too long to help him.
Massive wicket 
Elgar gone... Moeen Ali turned one out of the rough and he edged a drive to slip.... out for 136
252-8... 2 to go

And there is the 9th
Moeen strikes again... Rabada gone in the same way!
2 wickets in 2 balls for Moeen Ali and SA 252-9

LBW shout... turned down... Moeen on a hat-trick...
It's OUT! Moeen has a hat-trick. The first for an England spinner since 1938. 
South Africa 252 all out (77.1 overs)
England win the 3rd Test Match by 239 and lead the series 2-1 with one to play (Old Trafford starting on Friday).
Ben Stokes 112 and Alastair Cook 88 in the first innings; Jimmy Anderson 3-25; and then a debut 50 for Tom Westley in the 2nd innings and Moeen Ali taking 4-45 and a hat-trick in the 2nd all important contributions,
but Toby Roland-Jones on debut with 25 from 25 balls, 16.4-4-75-5, 23* runs and then 18-4-72-3 takes the cake

Wow, what a finale! MOM has to be Tobleroney-Jones.
Saffers have a job on their hands to come back from his, the hat-trick really twisting the knife.

I'm sure The Jam used to sing about him.
I think it will be some time before he is hearing... "There's no longer a position for you... sorry, Roland-Jones"
Looked plum, poor umpiring.
They gave it to Stokes for 112 in the 1st innings and a few bits and pieces.
You would have thought 5 top order wickets in the first inning and 3 in the 2nd deserved more recognition.

What an ending - first spinner to get an England test hatrick since 1838
And the first ever hatrick by any bowler in an Oval test
Great game - bring on Fridays test
