The visitors went 2-0 down in the five-match series after collapsing to 83 all out in 23 overs, their second lowest total in a one-dayer.

Wicketkeeper Matt Prior picked up six catches to equal the world record for a one-day international innings held by Australian Adam Gilchrist, England's Alec Stewart and Mark Boucher of South Africa.

The home team then raced to victory in 14.1 overs, Prior hitting 45 not out and Ian Bell an unbeaten 28.

Earlier, South Africa won the toss and chose to bat on a good Trent Bridge pitch for batting that also offered some sideways movement for the seam bowlers.

Broad snapped up the first four wickets, with Andrew Flintoff (3-29) and Steve Harmison (2-4 in one over) providing excellent support.

The procession began when Herschelle Gibbs was caught down the leg side by Prior off Broad.

Captain Graeme Smith, who should have been run out without scoring, was then brilliantly caught by Prior as he dived in front of first slip.

That gave the 22-year-old Broad his 50th wicket in a one-dayer, making him the second youngest after team mate James Anderson to achieve the feat.

Albie Morkel's boundary took South Africa past their previous lowest total of 69 before he offered Prior his sixth catch of the innings.

The third match is at the Oval tomorrow.
