Good fightback with the bat from England

Pitch has settled right down could be an interesting finish

215 runs at 17.91 in his last 13 test innings, might be on thin ice

Very surprised at the score, England are utter garbage and thought they would be atleast 4 or 5 down overnight

South Africa v England, second test in Cape Town, England won the toss and batting first.
Markram out injured for SA, replaced by Pieter Makan who makes his debut.
Burns and Archer out injured for England and Bairstow has been dropped. In comes Zak Crawley, Dom Bess and Ollie Pope.

Another average display by us. Pitch was flat yet no one converted, stokes in particular had to be better as he looked in great touch only to waste it. In good news pope looks a genuinely capable player, very bell like. Also Nortje for SA is really impressive.

From what I've read Pope is highly regarded and people are hoping set for a long future playing for England.
Nortje bowling at 140 kph plus has been good, looks like he'll be good support for Rabada and once Ngidi is back from injury (missed the first two test due to a torn hamstring) they'll have a decent pace trio.
