England vs South Africa LIVE: Cricket score from first Test at Lord's ... (The Independent)

24th over: Nortje is now bowling from the Pavilion End where he looks a little more comfortable. Pope continues to take the game to the South African quick ...

England were unable to dig in when needed and a high-quality South Africa attack had too much for them. [The hosts were blown away inside three days at the home of cricket](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/cricket/england-south-africa-first-test-result-score-b2148655.html) with the Proteas inflicting a first defeat of the new era under new captain Stokes and coach [Brendon McCullum](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/brendon-mccullum). Two poor batting performances and great bowling by South Africa cost them. On not having played red-ball cricket in the lead-up: “I don’t want to make excuses. “Captains before have also been criticised for the way the teams have played. It’s good to get the blood going.” “I don’t think it’s for me to comment on that [England’s bowling short-pitched balls to the Proteas tailenders]. “In Test cricket there is always tension between the two sides. there wasn’t much swing but there was enough bounce and pace in the wicket. Victory was brought up inside six sessions of play and before tea on the third day without them having to bat again. He spoke to BBC TMS after the match. “South Africa deserved the victory,” said McCullum.

At the end of the day, it’s bat against ball and whoever plays best over a Test match is most likely to win. We’ve got a style of play, they’ve got a style of play. We are not going to go back and forth any more around that.” I just want to crack on with the cricket. When asked in the pre-Test press conferences, Elgar said: “I am really not going to entertain that (Bazball) anymore. His captain Ben Stokes has said: “To be playing at 40, is phenomenal.

England v South Africa: first Test, day one – live! (The Guardian)

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.

England v South Africa 2022 live: score and latest updates from the ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Given Stokes' predilection this summer of charging down the pitch at quick bowlers, when he drives at his best his head is perfectly still, there is little ...

We have the warmth and humidity of midsummer but the skies are murky and even when it won't be raining, the satellite tells us that it will be a constant threat throughout the three sessions. Rabada drops short, but not short enough, and Pope swivels quickly into a pull stroke, cuffing it for three in front of square. Rabada gives Root an early alarm call with one that vaults off a pretty decent length and Root has to fend it off his adam's apple with his glove. The previous ball sat up off a similar length and Root pulled it fine for two. Foakes misses out on a cut, the bat turning in his hand as he lost his grip and cuffed it into the pitch, but gorges on a fuller length, flicking four through midwicket with a speedway rider's flick of the wrist. Rabada's meat in that sandwich was a peach outside off that tempted Pope to fiddle after it but with no reward for the bowler's line of beauty. Stokes on drives for four, checking the followthrough then, a couple of balls later, skewers a second through mid-off, between bowler and fielder. Pope takes on a short, wide on from Nortje, using the bowler's blistering pace against him with an uppercut for four. Next ball Pope brings up his fifty with a drive he harpoons through cover for four and then, after taking the applause, nicks a leg bye. Lees owed four of his five runs to a flashy edge over second slip and another waft cost him his wicket. The country has been crying out for rain for weeks and it arrived at the right time to save England from a complete day one mauling. Anrich Nortje’s 90mph pace and bounce as second change pressed the advantage, his three for 43 including the big ones of Jonny Bairstow and Stokes as well as the final wicket of Ben Foakes.

England vs South Africa, 1st Test, South Africa tour of England, 2022 (Cricbuzz)

CRR: 3.04. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Jonny Bairstow*, 0(0), 0, 0, 0. Ollie Pope, 17(32), 0, 0, 53.13. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Marco Jansen*, 1.5, 1, 3, 1.

Maharaj moves to the left and catches this mistimed slog. In the slot from KG to tempt Stokes and the England captain is in the trap. Anderson steps out, Marco Jansen yorks him to hit low of the off stump with an outswinger. And they stretched the lead to 161 this morning. Gets this full outswinger slightly straighter, Anderson plays inside the line and misses 37.4 Marco Jansen to Anderson, out Bowled!! In very battable conditions, with skilled batters in the side, England set out to wipe off 161 first and then set a defendable target. All I want to do is stick to the processes, contribute to the team and let the processes take care of the rest. Great member to have in the team. This is a proper thrashing from the Proteas with an innings to spare. Ngidi got Root cheaply after the break and then England bumped into a fiery Nortje where his teammates had to let his roar finish in the celebrations before hugging him. Player of the Match: It’s always special to contribute to team success.

England vs South Africa Live Score: 1st Test at Lord's (Firstpost)

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.

But Nortje finished a strong morning showing for South Africa by jagging one away to find Stokes' outside edge and end a minor recovery. Root has actually been usurped as England's most in-form Test batter, with Bairstow coming into the series on the back of a stellar run against New Zealand and India. Having declined another lbw shout that ball-tracking showed would have just clipped the top of Pope's leg stump, Nitin Menon raised his finger in the affirmative to the politest of appeals against Root. Joe Root was lbw for 8, a marginal decision backed up by DRS in the impressive Marco Jansen's second over, and Jonny Bairstow lost his middle stump to Nortje as England slumped to 55 for 4. Alex Lees got away with one ambitious swipe that flew over the slip cordon but fell in the same over, wafting away from his body to be caught behind. England's most-productive stand was 45 added for the fifth wicket between Pope and Stokes, the only two batters to get into double-figures.

England v South Africa: first Test, day two – live! (The Guardian)

Over-by-over report: Will South Africa keep the pressure on the hosts or can Ben Stokes's side recover? Find out with our writers.

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.

OVER 15: SA 43/0 (Elgar 22 Erwee 19). Broad strays on to Elgar's pads again and he flicks him for four. That was the first ball ...

Erwee ends the over by tickling a ball off his pads for two. Erwee drives through point with rather more edge than middle for two and Broad ends the over with five successive dot balls but there doesn't seem to be anything left in the pitch for 83mph merchants. But at its end Potts is told to take a breather and Stokes will bowl the next over from the Nursery End if his vigorous warm-up is any clue. He was chasing a ball down through the covers and hopped Rumpelstiltskin-style in pain after landing following his turn/jump to throw it back in. Erwee nearly kebabs Petersen with a call for a single that he overrules himself within seconds when he sees Broad haring up the pitch, Petersen hears the call late, performs the emergency stop ('when I strike the dashboard with my pen Mr Bagchi I want you to bring the vehicle to a halt as quickly and safely as possible') and slips. England have a short mid-off and a short extra for Verreynne, inviting him to hit Leach over the top but at first he resists the bait. Stokes replaces Anderson down the hill, having bowled his first spell from the Nursery End, and almost strikes with his first ball when Van der Dussen pokes at a wide one and misses dragging it on to off stump by ... Leach continues his inquisition of Erwee and Van der Dussen, with all the fun of the circus. England bolt the stable door for Maharaj who rides the bounce to get off the mark with a tap through cover for a single. Stokes positioned six fielders on the leg side including a short leg, and after an over to find his range, he followed Erwee with a nasty throat ball that he could only glove up in the air, the catch looping to Ben Foakes. They may have been tired by the end of a marathon day but the way they allowed Maharaj and Jansen to seize the initiative with a 72-run stand off 75 balls may cost them dearly. At 181 for three, 16 ahead, and stubborn opener Sarel Erwee a frustrating obstacle, Stokes rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath and ran in from the Pavilion End to bang the ball in.

Rabada caught James Anderson plumb in front of the wickets, on the last delivery of the 45th over and the umpire didn’t hesitate to raise his finger, ensuring Rabada of his 12th five-wicket haul in Test cricket, and this time with his name up on the Lord’s honours board.
