Ben Stokes says England can recover from South Africa thrashing
The Proteas needed fewer than three days' play to complete an innings and 12-run win, with England bowled out for just 149 before tea on Friday after a meagre 165 in their first innings. This was England's first defeat under a new leadership duo of Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum following a run of just one win in 17 Tests that signalled the end of Joe Root's captaincy. England had won all four of their previous Tests since Stokes and former New Zealand captain McCullum took up their positions.
