England and South Africa cross swords in Manchester in the second Test from Thursday, after the Proteas gave the Three Lions a lesson in the first Test. Even though Ben Stokes’ side suffered a massive defeat, they will most likely stick to their ‘Bazball’ approach for the second Test of the three-match series.
South Africa prevailed in the previous contest by an innings and 12 runs, as they put up a total of 326 runs on the board, followed by a clinical display by the Proteas bowling department which choked England’s batters.
Kagiso Rabada’s five-fore was one of the highlights of the contest, while Olive Pope top scored for the hosts with 73 runs in the first innings, although they suffered a huge collapse in the second innings.
Ahead of the second Test in Manchester, South Africa will be eyeing a series win, while England will be hoping for a better show, to try and stage a comeback.
