In the first Test match of the series, Faulkner top-scored in the first innings with 78 runs, then bowled 33 overs without much rest to take 5 wickets. When he came in to bat in the second innings, South Africa were less than 30 runs ahead. Still, Faulkner scored his maiden Test century with 123 runs out of 216 of the runs scored over two hours and fifty minutes. England was chasing 244 runs for victory and still had two wickets in hand with 46 runs to go before Faulkner took the match's final two wickets to give South Africa a 19-run win. Faulkner was chaired off of the ground by his teammates for his efforts. South Africa went on to win the series, and Faulkner would be their top run-scorer in 5 of the 10 innings. He scored 545 runs at 60.55 and took 29 wickets at 21.89, the highest run-scorer from either team and the second-highest wicket-taker. These would be the last Test matches that Faulkner ever played in South Africa.
