South Africa have selected fast bowler Gerald Coetzee for the first time and handed a recall to batsman Theunis de Bruyn for their crucial three-test tour of Australia that starts next month.
While English pitches are known for the seam and swing movement, County matches often produce some mind-blowing deliveries from spinners. While English leg-spinner Matt Parkinson is often the artist, having provided some contenders for the "ball of the century", the latest entrant to the unofficial competition comes from South African off-spinner Simon Harmer. Bowling for Essex against Northamptonshire in Division 1 of the County Championship, Harmer produced a peach of a delivery that left New Zealand's Will Young completely bamboozled.
South Africa captain Dean Elgar is treating the Test series decider against England at the Oval "like a World Cup final" as the Proteas seek to recover from a heavy defeat.
Proteas Test captain Dean Elgar confirmed that Ryan Rickelton will be the batter to replace Rassie van der Dussen for the third Test against England that starts at The Oval on Thursday.
Old Trafford on Saturday. Victory by an innings and 85 runs, with more than two days to spare, brought England level in this three-match series at 1-1, following South Africa almost as dominant innings-and-12-run triumph at Lord's last week. England have won five of their six matches since Stokes succeeded Joe Root as skipper but this one was built on Test-match fundamentals rather than setting up a crowd-pleasing run-chase in the fourth innings. Stokes's men were on top from the start in Manchester, reducing South Africa to 77-5 before lunch on the first day after Proteas skipper Dean Elgar -- almost obliged to bat first having included a second spinner, Simon Harmer, -- won the toss. The Proteas were eventually dismissed for a meagre 151 in their first innings.
England vs South Africa, 2nd Test, Day 3 Live Score Updates: Openers Dean Elgar and Sarel Erwee have resumed the South African innings on Day 3 of the ongoing second Test against England at Old Trafford, Manchester. The duo look to offer resistance and stay at the crease for a long haul. On Friday, Ben Stokes had hit his first century since being appointed England's full-time captain and wicketkeeper Ben Foakes also reached three figures as the hosts established a commanding lead over South Africa in the second Test in Manchester. Foakes hit an unbeaten 113, after Stokes' 103-run knock as England took a first innings lead of 264 runs against South Africa in the game. After bundling out the visitors for a paltry of 151, England declared their innings at 415 for 9. (LIVE SCORECARD)
England vs South Africa, 2nd Test, Day 2 Live Score Updates: Jonny Bairstow and Zak Crawley will look to help England gain a healthy lead on Day 2 of the ongoing second Test against South Africa at Old Trafford. England had the upper hand over South Africa on the opening day after bundling out the visitors on 151. England then ended Day 1 at 111/3, trailing the Proteas by just 40 runs at stumps. Jonny Bairstow and Zak Crawley will resume play on Day 2 on scores of 38 not out and 17 not out, respectively. Earlier, James Anderson and Stuart Broad scalped three dismissals each as England rattled the Proteas, who opted to bat first. (LIVE SCORECARD)
Proteas speedster Kagiso Rabada on Thursday shrugged off the question marks over the omission of the lanky Marco Jansen in favour of a second spinner in Simon Harmer for the second Test against England in Manchester.
