“He seems to me like a team man who will do anything he can to tenaciously cling onto his place in the team and deliver: he’ll bat wherever he’s asked to (although he brings the same technique and style) and has delivered in the past.
“You wrote that Pope will play the second Test ‘if he can dislodge Bairstow,’” says Andrew Hurley. Bowling first was a bold call from England captain Joe Root.

Injury to Launchbury has forced Jones’ hand with Nick Isiekwe making his first (and well-deserved start) for England. 24th over: England 80-0 (Burns 54, Sibley 21) There’s a hint of turn for Maharaj, who bowls another accurate maiden to the happily becalmed Sibley. ), Le Roux and de Klerk, among others. Ok then, my heart will always say England but my head says South Africa. You can’t really draw anything from last week’s defeat to Wales as both teams played B-sides, the whole thing was a mess (on-and-off the field), very few players involved in that test are playing against England, but it doesn’t help the Boks’ form guide and denies any momentum going into a test series of such importance to both sides. Dyantyi (Lions), 10. That shouldn’t bother him, such is his patience, although the highest level can do funny things to the brain. As for the comparison with Buttler, I don’t recognise your Bairstow at all. And Pollard tops it off with a conversion. Sibley is still playing and missing once an over, mind you, and he obliges from Nortje’s fifth delivery. 19th over: England 63-0 (Burns 42, Sibley 17) Rabada returns to the attack.

Burns edged Maharaj this far short of Elgar, plunging to his left at first slip. 38th over: England 112-1 (Burns 72, Denly 6) Pretorius replaces Maharaj, who bowled a crafty spell of 8-3-11-1. Still wouldn't surprise me to see Robshaw at 7 though and I think Mike Brown will start 15 (not that I agree with it). “We’ve got a chance tomorrow if we play well. England recycle, taking their phases into double figures. The Springboks, fielding a very different side to the one that lost narowly to Wales last week, include three debutants - S’busiso Nkosi, Aphiwe Dyantyi and RG Snyman - for their first Test under the captaincy of Siya Kolisi.

When he was first capped last summer, I wondered why he was in there (at the time I thought that Dom Barrow and Charlie Matthews were more deserving of a call up) but since then he has grown on me a little bit and I now do believe he is an international class act.

James Anderson is playing his first Test in four months, both Jofra Archer and Stuart Broad were ill in the build-up to the Test and Stokes has struggled to bowl with a long-standing knee problem. He times Pretorius sweetly through midwicket for four more. That’s an excellent try by England, glorious evidence of the menace of their backs. I feel sorry for the chap: he’s always being dumped for Buttler who seems to still be getting picked on potential rather than results - a bit like a steady and reliable boy-next-door who keeps on getting dumped and passed over for the flash bad boy who owns their own Vauxhall Nova.”. No such thing as neutrals. If the guys work like that, there is a lot of good things to come.”, Billy Vunipola on Sky: “We probably just got too tight around the ruck. Dear me.
England have a wealth of playmakers in the team, Ford, Farrell, Cipriani, Slade, Lozowski, and have the finishing prowess in the wings, so I hope Wisemantel will be able to unleash their abilities to absolutely smash their opponents out of the park. First Test, Supersport Park, Centurion (day one of five): England in South Africa - fixtures & results, England need to show intelligence in South Africa - Agnew. The two instances they managed without a loss in a series: 2-0 vs SL at home in 2016 and 3-0 vs SL in Sri Lanka in 2018/19. (Sorry!)”.
Burns works a single to bring up a determined fifty partnership with his old Surrey mate Dom Sibley. “As you rightly say, we’re not in the dressing room, so everything is based on (mediated) impressions,” says Brian Withington.
I think the sway will just go with South Africa but I am expecting a much changed England for the second test. I know what you mean, though I wouldn’t quite go that far. It's time to get into cricket. Unfortunately, I can’t see all of South Africa’s problems being fixed in one test series.

Mostert (Lions), 6. Ellis Park, Johannesburg, is no place for the meek, nor, more to the point, for the dishevelled or the dumb. Pollard finds touch near the English corner... 37 min: Substitution: Brad Shields, the ex-New Zealander, comes on for his England debut in place of Isiekwe. Daly elects to shoot for goal. Ford swings a superb long pass to the right flank, where May collects it before chucking on to Farrell, arriving at speed on the underlap. Ach, Sibley has fallen to the left-arm spinner. Cant see Akker being selected to start. Jacob Bassford previews the much-anticipated and highly important open test between South Africa and England, Date: Saturday, 9th June Venue: Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg Kick-off: 4:05pm BST. The pitch has looked less spiteful today, so it’s not beyond the realms that they could pull off a triumphant 72-run defeat. But he’s been a very good advert for having a half-decent opener in the team. The difference with the Gerrard-Lampard epoch is that we had a great core of players to pick from but stuffed it up. I thought he was appallingly treated.
We’ve got to keep learning and working out what shots we can play depending on the surface. Joe Denly applauds Rory Burns off the field. 21st over: England 72-0 (Burns 46, Sibley 21) If England win this, thanks to an unbeaten 145 from Jonny Bairstow, I am going to look an appreciable plonker. I don’t expect an easy-on-the-eye game to follow suit, any side who is going to win will win by few points. Clive Woodward’s half-time assessment on Sky: “What we did is we sat back and said this game is won so stopped competing in the forwards ... and South Africa just came roaring back. I think England have to have to keep the ball in play as much as possible against a side who has the firepower to dominate at setpiece. Pollard is given another opportunity to increase his country’s lead and he takes it this time. “It hasn’t been a straightforward Test match. That said, I think they (We) are on a hiding to nothing, Win and it is against a underperforming team, Lose against the aforementioned team and things look decidedly worse! They are now more than a converted try clear of England. I was about to upbraid you for thinking it was still 1998, never mind 2016.
The pressure is still on Erasmus to quickly turn around the Springboks’ fortunes and he has been short of luck: South Africa’s only well-performing function during their torrid run was their forward pack, especially at lineout, masterminded superbly by forward coach Johann van Graan. Asked what that was, he answers: “That’s not for me to say. The selectors are mad to have left him out.
There should be time for two more overs. England begin pounding the South Africa line. We know there’s a long way to go. Tendai Mtawarira starts for his 99th game, while the overseas players Willie le Roux and Faf de Klerk will look to bring leadership and inspiration to a team down in the dumps. 3rd over: England 18-0 (Burns 12, Sibley 2) Burns drives Rabada handsomely through mid-off for four, and England get some bonus runs when a short ball clears de Kock and runs away for four byes. Suddenly there’s fresh spring in the Boks’ step... South Africa cranked up the pressure and went through about 10 phases, stretching England with each one. WICKET! To be honest, I’m shocked that elusive outside centre Jesse Kriel isn’t featuring at all, he has been electric for the Bulls in 2018, Am has played well for the Sharks but not on par with the former World U20s champion in my opinion. It took me by surprise. Thats like saying I dont mind who wins in a final cos I support them both. England look like they have shut up shop for the night, Denly in particular, and there is just one run from the over. They’re not going to let a famous victory slip! 26th over: England 86-0 (Burns 56, Sibley 25) Sibley flicks Maharaj through midwicket for four. It’s a bad miss, from a comfortable shooting position, and it allows England to welly the ball clear.
