LONDON : A fiery spell from captain Ben Stokes dragged England back into the match but South Africa remained the happier side as they reached 289 for seven at the close on the second day of the first test at Lord’s on Thursday.
LONDON : South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada took five wickets as England were bowled out for 165 in their first innings on the second morning of the first test at Lord’s on Wednesday, with the tourists going to lunch on 27 without loss in their reply.
LONDON: 'Bazball' was put on the backburner as South Africa's seamers made inroads into England's top order and despite a half-century for Ollie Pope reduced the home side to 100 for five at lunch on the opening day of the first test at Lord's on Wednesday (Aug 17).
A sheer desire to "win" a proper day of Test cricket, not petty eagerness to ridicule "Bazball".
England suffered a torrid morning after losing the toss at Lord's before the first Test against South Africa, who currently lead the World Test Championship.
ENG vs SA 1st Test, Day 1 Live: South Africa captain Dean Elgar won the toss and elected to field in the first Test against England at Lord's beginning today. While Elgar wrote off England's 'Bazball' brand of cricket, Ben Stokes has remained adamant that their aggressive style is here to stay and the team is unperturbed by the South African skipper's comments. While England will look to continue their four-match winning streak, South Africa will want to consolidate their position atop the World Test Championship points table. Interestingly, England have won all their last four matches since Stokes took over as captain batting second, so this match will pose them with a different challenge. (LIVE SCORECARD)
