England vs South Africa

Over-by-over report: Will England continue their Bazball revival, or can South Africa halt their momentum? Join our writers to find out.

17th over: England 55-4 (Pope 29, Stokes 0) Am I allowed to say the ‘B’ word? 14th over: England 42-3 (Pope 17, Bairstow 0) Ollie Pope is now exclusively scoring his runs in clumps of three with drive that doesn’t reach the boundary. 19th over: England 64-4 (Pope 37, Stokes 1) What a shot that is (by the way). 18th over: England 56-4 (Pope 30, Stokes 0) Pope gets to 30 with a wormed singled wide of mid-on, but not before he’s beaten by a delicious Jansen delivery that comes back in sharply and cuts the batter in half. 23rd over: England 82-4 (Pope 43, Stokes 11) A single apiece for England’s two batters at the crease as they look to crawl to the safety of the lunch break. 20th over: England 68-4 (Pope 38, Stokes 2) Jansen has been very impressive and continues to find a probing area. 24th over: England 85-4 (Pope 45, Stokes 12) Nortje with a change of ends and he’s a lot tidier this time. Stokes is watchful for the rest of the over and doesn’t add to his score. He’s almost quoting a Monty Python sketch where John Cleese is a TV interviewer of ‘Sir Edward’ (Graham Chapman) as a film director and increasingly trying to be informal, as in ‘Eddy-baby’.” He works a single down in the deep but it’s in the air for some time. What a session by the Saffa bowlers who backed up the red meating grunt (go check out my Spin column) with a healthy dollop of guile and skill. In one particular match a player went down needing treatment and my uncle duly skated out onto the ice ready to administer to the fallen only to trip over, break a bone and have to be removed on a stretcher to the derision of the crowd.

Playing XI: South Africa: Dean Elgar(c), Sarel Erwee, Keegan Petersen, Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, Kyle Verreynne(wk), Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje. England: Alex Lees, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, ...

Their recent form has been buzzing around the cricket world from east to west, but it is highly unlikely for them to reach one of the top two positions in this cycle. Also, South Africa are the current table topper for the World Test Championship. South Africa are looking to chalk up a fifth successive series without defeat under Elgar. "The opposition seem to be doing a lot of talking at the moment about it. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. Rain on Tuesday wouldn't have helped either camps in deciding their playing XI. England are a distant seventh on the table. At the end of the day, it's bat against the ball. We don't dive into it too much, but we're happy for Dean [Elgar] and the South African team to keep saying they're not interested but then also keep talking about it," Stokes said. We're not going to go back and forth anymore about that." We've got a style of play, they've got a style of play. So much that Dean Elgar had to interject after a while by saying, "With all due respect I'm not going to entertain that anymore," on Tuesday.

Elgar has already expressed his disgust for 'Bazball', a term associated with England in line with McCullum's nickname. Dean Elgar’s South Africa, currently ranked third on ICC Men’s Test Rankings, is also in great form. The Ben Stokes-led side is currently on a four-match unbeaten streak.

ENG vs SA 1st Test, Day 1 Live: England lost their first wicket in the third over after Alex Lees was caught by Kyle Verreynne on Kagiso Rabada's delivery.

Earlier, Ben Stokes was dismissed on the stroke of lunch on the opening day of the first Test between England and South Africa at Lord's on Wednesday, to leave his side perilously placed on 100-5. Fellow quicks Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje followed up by capturing the prized wickets of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, with all four dismissed batsmen out in single figures as England slumped to 55-4. England came into the game with a perfect record of four wins from as many Tests under their new leadership pairing of Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum. South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada once again proved his worth, removing openers Alex Lees and Zak Crawley after England had been sent in to bat by Proteas captain Dean Elgar. ENG vs SA 1st Test, Day 1 Highlights: Rain forced an early end of the day's play after England were reduced to 116/6.

CRR: 1.85. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Ollie Pope*, 1(6), 0, 0, 16.67. Zak Crawley, 1(9), 0, 0, 11.11. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Kagiso Rabada*, 2.2, 0, 5, 1.

31.6 Nortje to Broad, no run, nasty looking bouncer from round the wicket! It's a little more than a drizzle for now, but the forecast is for it to get heavier. Even if the rain totally stops, the groundstaff have a lot of work to make this pitch and outfield playable again. A big puddle seems to have formed on one side of the slope. They've won all four chasing and with the shaky first innings start they've got, this is a good opportunity for the in-form SA to stop this English juggernaut. Ollie Pope was the shining light for England today, and he continues to bat on.

Watch day two of first LV= Insurance Test between England and South Africa, at Lord's, live on Sky Sports Cricket on Thursday. Collingwood on Zak Crawley: "The messaging is very clear with Zak. We don't necessarily look for consistency with him. Our mantra of trying to put the opposition under pressure, he did that brilliantly. He batted exceptionally well and showed a lot of skill. Root can perhaps consider himself rather unlucky to be given out lbw to left-armer Jansen (1-18).

Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada starred as England were reduced to 116-6 on day one of the first Test against South Africa at Lords.

Rabada was also hugely impressive a dominant display from the tourists and he is now five wickets away from 250 for South Africa. The wicket of Foakes was Nortje's 50th in Test cricket in his 13th match, his raw pace proving far too hot for England's batters to handle. To cover the loss of overs on day one of the first Test in the three-match series, the remaining four days will now see 98 overs per day, with dry weather forecast.

55th over: South Africa 192-4 ( vd Dussen 19, Jansen 1 ) Fully distracted by my daughter reading out the Royal Family’s A level results, but can reliably say that was great ball by Stokes. The lead creeps up to fifty. Maharaj hits two boundaries in three balls off Broad, one an edge through the slips that has Broad down on his haunches, the other cuts a pie. His last ball nearly squeaks through the gap between Jansen’s bat and pad. 70th over: South Africa 236-6 ( Jansen 14, Maharaj 18) Maharaj and Jansen rather milk Potts here, a four each as the lead creeps up to 71. Seven off Leach including a lanky loft by Jansen to the long-on boundary. What else would you put in the mix? I think the venn diagram would be interesting! He ducks safely under the final bouncer and that is stumps! That felt like a mini epic – defiantly South Africa’s day but endlessly entertaining by England who threw themselves at it. It is a mixture of things, confidence after playing enough Test cricket to learn through those games, and belief from performances.” That’s it from us for today – thanks for sticking with our new system, quirks and all.

England vs South Africa, 1st Test, Day 2 Live: England will begin Day 2 at 116/6 with Ollie Pope and Stuart Broad, standing unbeaten at the crease.
