1st Test: England remain positive despite late South Africa charge on Day 2
cricket despite a late flurry of runs from South Africa that moved the touring side into a commanding position on the second day of the first Test at Lord’s. The home side’s bowlers, led by captain Ben Stokes, dragged England back into the contest on Thursday when they had South Africa six wickets down with a lead of only 45. But Marco Jansen (41 not out) and Keshav Maharaj (41) put on 72 in about 12 overs to wrestle back control and take the visitors' advantage to 124 as they reached 289 for seven at the close. "We are behind in the game, but we’ve stuck at it really well," Leach told SkySports. "We are always trying to take wickets, that’s our mindset. We could have had a few more, but we just have to keep at it. "I felt like we were creating half-chances and we have to believe we can take them. It’s the way it goes, we are just thinking about how to impact the game in front of us and not about the scoreboard."
1st Test: Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj extend South Africa's lead against England on Day 2
England captain Ben Stokes had bowled his side back into the game when he removed well-set opener Erwee (73) and Rassie van der Dussen (19) in quick succession to leave the Proteas 192-5. But come stumps on the second day South Africa were 289-7 -- 124 runs ahead. Jansen was 41 not out, having added 72 in just 75 balls for the seventh wicket with Maharaj (41) as they punished England's failure to bowl to increasingly unorthodox fields. South Africa had earlier dismissed England for just 165, with fast bowler Kagiso Rabada taking 5-52 -- his 12th five-wicket haul in a Test innings but first at Lord's.
Shahbaz Ahmed's journey: From most backward district to Team India
cricket commentary of Jasdev Singh and Sushil Doshi on radio that his grandfather was hooked to. Mohammad Ishaq, 73, cannot believe that one day the commentary could be about his grandson. “That’ll be my happiest day, when he plays for the country,” he says. That day may not be far off. Shahbaz, 27, is part of Team India’s ODI squad in Zimbabwe as replacement for the injury-racked Washington Sundar. A slow left-arm spinner and effective lower middle-order southpaw, Shahbaz plies his trade for Bengal and RCB. But he comes from the Muslim-majority Nuh in Haryana’s Mewat, named as India’s most backward district by Niti Aayog. Shahbaz’s selection has prompted collective joy in a region where sporting models are rare. “There is no dearth of talent in Mewat. They need to be found and given a platform. Illiteracy and joblessness are our two main miseries,” says Ramzan Chaudhary, a social activist and chief of the All India Mewati Samaj. Shahbaz, who has been included in Team India’s ODI squad in Zimbabwe as replacement for Washington Sundar, has impressed everyone with his allround skills and temperament since making his first-class debut in 2018.
