Watch: South Africa Batter Leaves Ball, Error In Judgement Proves Costly
South Africa are currently playing a warm-up fixture against England Lions ahead of their three-match Test series against England which begins on August 17. In the four-day game, South Africa won the toss and opted to bat. Khaya Zondo, batting at No.7, impressed for South Africa, as he scored a valuable 86-run knock.
