But there is a way to tune in regardless. For far too long England have relied on Joe Root, and more recently Jonny Bairstow, to pull them out of the muck. Just as Dean Elgar promised, the Proteas annihilated the hosts, reducing a five-day Test to a two-and-a-half-day stroll in the park.

OVER 22: SA 71/4 (Van der Dussen 12 Verreynne 2). The batsmen cross after Markram is lured on to the rocks by the siren song of Stokes's ...

Anderson dings Erwee in the goolies from round the wicket with one that keeps angling in from back of a length but his 'abdominal protector' does its job and he is not pole-axed in pain. Loose shot from Petersen, opening the face and jerking it wide of fourth slip for four as the ball straightened on him, much to his surprise. Stokes dives forward and to his right but the ball, barely an inch off the ground, bursts through his fingers. Petersen manages to poke a single through cover and get down the other end, and Robinson comes round to Elgar, kissing the edge as Elgar tried to play late. The next one climbs just as much but starts too wide and Petersen crashes it for four through point, despite Bairstow's acrobatic attempt to save the boundary. But after the latest deliberation, Broad pitches up down the corridor, the ball wobbles and Elgar thick-edges low to third slip where Bairstow tales a smart one-handed catch. It was wider, to, so he had to fetch it but could only top edge it as he was through his shot too quickly and sends a steepling chance over the keeper who runs back to his left to catch it. Petersen tries to adjust but he can't and ends up squared up, scissoring his bat down and nicking it off the part by the maker's name to first slip. England are going to squeeze one more over in before lunch and almost squeeze one more wicket. Robinson is given the opening over after lunch and starts with a half-volley that Verreynne, in a sleeveless sweater, eases through extra-cover for four. Harmer plays tip and run to cover and takes on Stokes' arm, beating it because the England captain's shy missed by a good 3ft. But the next ball deviates from Robinson's normally impeccable line and the width enables Verreynne to dab it down for four through third.

23rd over: South Africa 75-4 (Van der Dussen 16, Verreynne 2) Stokes tosses Leach the ball, and Van der Dussen spanks his first delivery to midwicket for four. Pitching on a length, he tempts Petersen to flash at one he could leave – p-r-e-s-s-u-r-e – and Root ouches the catch at one. Anyhow, back in the middle, Robinson, diddles Petersen again – that’s the tenth time he’s beaten the bat this morning – and he keeps doing it in the same way, a bit of bounce, a bit of nip, and an implacable line from on high. 26th over: South Africa 85-5 (Verreynne 12, Harmer 0) It’s Robinson to set us away again, and his loosner is wide and in the slot, so Verrenne makes sure to put it away through cover; Stokes charges after it, dives, hauls it away from the rope with his fingertips … Meantime, Broad is bouncing in, ceding a two and a one before beating Markram with one that dies before reaching Foakes and scuttling away for two more; two to midwicket follow, making that seven off the over. A no ball follows, turned to midwicket for two which makes three, and the partnership is now 25; these two don’t look comfy, but do look more so than the lads already out. Again Stokes goes short, again he pulls, and again he mistimes, youching his frustration as Foakes races left to pouch the skier. 32nd over: South Africa 94-7 (Verreynne 16, Rabada 0) Verreynne shovels a single into the off side, then Rabada ducks underneath a bouncer. 36th over: South Africa 103-7 (Verreynne 20, Rabada 6) Yup, here’s Broad, and Verreynne eases his loosener to third man for one, then Rabada turns the next ball to fine leg for one more. 28th over: South Africa 86-5 (Verreynne 12, Harmer 0) Robinson chucks in another no ball, but it’s the only run from another testing over. 30th over: South Africa 92-5 (Verreynne 16, Harmer 2) Harmer takes a single then Robinson finds another fine delivery, coming down from on high and landing on that length that has batters unsure whether to play forward or go back. Not sure why Anderson is bowling that length, and I’m sure he’d be thrilled to receive my advice on the subject.

England pacers have dominated proceedings after the Proteas had opted to bat first. Here are the LIVE Updates of Day 1 of the 2nd Test between England and South Africa from Old Trafford in Manchester After beating England by an innings and 12 runs, South Africa made one change to their side, bringing in spinner ENG vs SA, 2nd Test Live Updates: South Africa are seven wickets down against England in the their first innings of the ongoing second Test at Old Trafford in Manchester.

He was named in the team on the eve of the match, in place of Matt Potts. England: 1 Alex Lees, 2 Zak Crawley, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, ...

In his third over, more steep bounce on a good length kissed the edge of the bat as Petersen got squared up with flat feet, and Joe Root at first slip swallowed the edge to leave South Africa wobbing at 41 for 3. Van der Dussen reviewed, but the decision stood, with DRS returning an umpire's call verdict on both impact and the top of the leg bail. One over later, van der Dussen was gone as well, to an each-way bet of an lbw decision from umpire Chris Gaffaney. Markram swung lustily across the line, but managed only a steepling top-edge to Foakes, running back towards fine leg. But Stokes, in a typically golden-armed intervention, had other ideas. It was a short-lived reprieve, however.

South Africa sprung a surprise by bringing Essex spinner Simon Harmer into their XI to face England here at Old Trafford, then opting to bat first under ...

In 100 first-class innings for the club, he has 354 wickets and has helped them to two County Championships and one Bob Willis Trophy final victory in 2020. Stokes said that England did not even “contemplate” a change to their batting between Tests. “He brings a great skillset and added bounce will suit the conditions here at Old Trafford.”

England trail South Africa by just 40 runs in the second Test after bowling the Proteas out for 151 and reaching 111-3 at the close of play with Zak Crawley ...

There was one just like that at Lord's where he couldn't cling on and that is a massive moment in the game." Root has been in magnificent form over the past 18 months or so and England rarely win if he fails to make a big contribution with the bat. And he did just that in an excellent first spell which saw him pick up 2-17 from six overs before lunch and become just the fifth seamer to take 800 international wickets. He's worked hard at Sussex to build up the fitness and stamina that he was criticised for - sometimes unfairly, I thought - in the Ashes. I can't wait to see how he develops in the second half of his career." Anderson is the first cricketer to ever play 100 Tests in one country and he picked up 3-32 from his 15 overs. He first removed Erwee, getting him caught behind for just three, and then bowled a stunning double wicket maiden to dismissed both Harmer and Maharaj lbw. In his first Test match for England since the Ashes, Robinson impressed despite only picking up the one wicket of Nortje. However, Jonny Bairstow and the under-pressure Zak Crawley steadied the ship with a crucial 68-run partnership, with Bairstow striking a fluent 38 off 45 balls and Crawley battling his way to 17 off 77 to leave England trailing South Africa by just 40 heading into day two. Alex Lees' struggles continued as he fell to Lungi Ngidi for four, Ollie Pope was cleaned up by the express pace of Anrich Nortje for 23 and Rabada nicked off Joe Root for nine to leave England in trouble at 43-3. Broad accounted for captain Dean Elgar, Petersen and Verreyne, while Stokes took the crucial wickets of Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen and Anderson returned to remove Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj in a thrilling double wicket maiden. [Ben Stokes](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/ben-stokes) got one from his bowlers as they needed just 53.2 overs to dismiss a Proteas side which won the toss and decided to bat first.

Stuart Broad admitted England are having ongoing issues with the 2022 batch of Dukes, which may be down to a manufacturing issue. England's bowler Stuart ...

Even Jonny Bairstow, who walked to the crease with the score on 53 for four, was pinned to the crease by Rabada, and properly hurried by Nortje until his feet started to move. Such is the precarious hold of Crawley on his place in the side there was a cheer around the ground when he clipped Lungi Ngidi for a single to get off the mark. So, in the words of Crowded House, Crawley was at least taking the weather with him. Consistency is subordinate to brilliance under this regime, which means failures are tolerated on the grounds that a potent knock is just around the corner. Crawley might have been casting a line with a fishing rod so far in front of his wooden front foot was the willow. There was no reference to the condition of the ball, its age, speed or quality of the bowler Williamson had faced. The England bowlers did their bit inviting England’s top order to put into practice the commands of the leadership and right the wrongs of the Lord’s shellacking. He was proven right at Lord’s but his hubris got the better of him here in Manchester when he chose to take on England’s attack under cloud cover so deep the floodlights were on from the start of the day. Whatever the reason, bowlers are not happy and Broad was the latest to voice his displeasure. Ollie Robinson had Dean Elgar dropped on five, caught off a no-ball and the wicket of Kyle Verreyenne overturned on review. The Dukes brand is only used in England and is produced by just one manufacturer in East London who have admitted their 2022 batch are not up to the usual standard. The reason why is a mystery, although Dukes themselves have admitted it may be down to a herd of the cows they use being poorly fed and producing lower-quality leather.

Jonny Bairstow and Zak Crawley were unbeaten at stumps as England closed in on South Africa's first-innings total of 151 in the second Test.

Broad was padded up in the pavilion ready to deliver his rebranded role of “Nighthawk” but to the delight of his teammates – if not those curious to see what it actually entails – he remained on his perch. England laboured a touch thereafter – their short-ball plan to the tail once again negotiated – until Robinson kickstarted the final rites with the first ball after tea when he went full to Nortje for another lbw. Rassie van der Dussen’s demise for lbw in the England captain’s follow-up over, by contrast, was a touch rough, his review thwarted by umpire’s call for both impact and height. The call was dictated by selection, with Simon Harmer drafted in as a second spinner and Marco Jansen, among those central to the win at Lord’s, benched. But given a crepe-paper batting performance during that innings defeat in the first Test, it was no given this mood would remain come stumps. [ransacking of Lord’s](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/aug/19/ben-stokes-praises-relentless-south-africa-but-refuses-to-panic-after-defeat), had earlier been bowled out for 151 inside 54 overs as Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad revelled in the conditions to take three wickets apiece.

Harmer has a short leg and a a slip in for Foakes who made a Test century on debut against Sri Lanka's spinners in Galle.

Sarel Erwee was beaten several times in a skittish start and fell for three when Anderson (three for 32) drew one back in, well caught by Ben Foakes off the inside edge. Plenty of encouragement for Rabada with the movement and Bairstow in acceleration mode but he manages to get his bat on another hooping inducker and tickle it off his pads for a single. Rabada continues to make the ball reverse, swinging one on to Crawley's toes which he flicks fine for a single. Crawley is given a shorter one to start that nibbles back off the pitch (if nibbling can be done at 90mph, 'tears' perhaps?) and smacks him in the goolies. Bairstow pushes at it and nicks off to slip where Erwee takes it at the first attempt this time. But he gets his nose over the second ball and plays a solid backward defensive. After a couple of defensives, Stokes earns one in the slot and creams it through the covers for four. Foakes gives England the lead with an ugly swipe that chips off the inside edge and beats Verreynne on his left side as he made a vain headlong dive to grab it. And he beats Foakes with his first ball that zips past the edge as England's keeper prods tentatively forward. The knee is giving Stokes gyp but he is gritting his teeth and battling on. Harmer comes round the wicket to Foakes and slanting it across to off stump, inviting him to hit through the offside against the turn of the off-break. Foakes brings up the fifty partnership off Rabada, each contributing 25, with a midwicket flick for a single.

60th over: England 217-5 (Stokes 35, Foakes 37) Stokes, facing Harmer, goes for another big mow – not reverse this time, but still bone-headed – and gets ...

53rd over: England 204-5 (Stokes 32, Foakes 28) A rare bad ball from Rabada and Stokes chops it for two to the cover sweeper. 51st over: England 199-5 (Stokes 29, Foakes 26) Another solid over from Rabada, another single to each batter. 55th over: England 207-5 (Stokes 34, Foakes 29) A belated bowl for Keshav Maharaj, and he almost strikes first ball! (It’s also a no-ball for height.) And that’s lunch, with England winning the second hour after Nortje dominated the first. 56th over: England 212-5 (Stokes 34, Foakes 33) Harmer to Foakes, who just plays for lunch until a full toss suddenly turns up – and he pulls it for four. 65th over: England 227-5 (Stokes 41, Foakes 41) Stokes is looking to attack again after a subdued five minutes or so. 66th over: England 227-5 (Stokes 41, Foakes 41) A maiden from Harmer to Stokes, who has parked the reverse sweep, thankfully. 72nd over: England 252-5 (Stokes 59, Foakes 47) Another over, another milestone. 67th over: England 227-5 (Stokes 41, Foakes 41) Another maiden, from Maharaj to Foakes. Ben Foakes gets the scoreboard moving with a late cut. 73rd over: England 257-5 (Stokes 63, Foakes 48) Nortje, majestic as he has been in this series, does keep the scoreboard ticking – maybe that’s why Elgar was reluctant to bring him on after lunch. The South Africans appeal for a stumping, but as with one or two of their reviews, you can smell the desperation.

Captain Ben Stokes makes his was out to the middle. 33.4. W. Anrich Nortje to Jonny Bairstow. OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Anrich Nortje gets the ...
