Highlights from day two of the first LV= Insurance Test between England and South Africa at Lord’s.
South Africa quelled a Ben Stokes-inspired England fightback at Lord’s to remain firmly on top after day two of the first LV= Insurance Test.
After South Africa stumbled from 160-2 to 210-6 – by which time the tourists’ lead was just 45 – Marco Jansen (41 no off 57) and Keshav Maharaj (41 off 49) combined for a lively partnership of 72 from the seventh over golf. 75 balls before Proteas closed at 289-7 and 124 runs to spare.
Kagiso Rabada (5-52) had earlier bowled three of the four overs to fall, including leading scorer Ollie Pope (73), as England slipped from 116-6 overnight to 165 before opener Sarel Erwee ( 73). ) took South Africa into the lead just three down.
Ben Stokes took three wickets on day two at Lord’s, removing Sarel Hervey (73), Rashi van der Dussen (19) and Keshav Maharaj (41)
England skipper Stokes (3-53) removed Hervey with a hot short ball and pinned Rassie van der Dusen (19) at lbw, while Stuart Broad then bowled Kyle Verein (11) for his 100th Test wicket in Lord’s as England rallied.
That revival, however, was halted by Jansen and Maharaj, until the latter was caught by Stokes at mid-on off Matthew Potts near the stumps.
Rabada and Erwee also played key roles for the tourists – the former scoring his 12th five-for in Test cricket and the latter sharing half-century stands with skipper Dean Elgar (47) and Keegan Petersen (24).

Rabada rolls England to get on the honors board
England added just 49 runs in the morning as Rabada proved red-hot with the red ball on the day Lord’s turned red for the Ruth Straus Foundation and to support families dealing with the death of a parent.
Pope was the first to be dismissed, dragging Rabada onto his stumps from an inside edge after he had been bowled by the same bowler in the opener as Hervey failed to catch the rope after a series of comical jugglers.
Rabada caught Broad (15) at point off a superb slower ball and then, after Janssen had cleaned up Jack Leach (15), ended the home innings when he pinned James Anderson lbw for a duck – England all out in exactly 45 overs with Pope the only player to cross 20.

Ollie Pope fell for 67 at slip Cordon as South Africa bowler Sarel Erwee failed to catch the ball despite having about four wickets!
Elgar and Hervey both passed that mark – although Elgar endured a few scares on seven, first upending a dismissal from Broad with no bat, just pad, before Zach Crawley killed a chance to reach over his head when it slips. from the bowling of Potts.
Potts proved costly after lunch, picked for boundaries by Elgar and Erwee when he erred too full or too short, and it was Anderson who broke the 85-run stand, with the first wicket in rather fortuitous fashion .
Elgar tried to cut the English pattern off his pads only for the delivery to brush the thigh guard and forearm before trickling back onto the stumps as he fell three runs short of a 23rd Test fifty.
This dismissal ensured Anderson became the first forty-plus pace bowler to take a Test wicket for England since Leslie Jackson against Australia in 1961 – Anderson turned 40 on 30 July.

Hervey stars before Stokes lifts England
Elgar missed a half-century, then, but not Hervey, who hit Broad on the offside for four to reach his fifty from 89 deliveries. The left-hander – who was considering quitting the game a few years ago after being plagued by off-field problems – continued to play neatly between Petersen and Aiden Markram (16) who cover Potts and left-arm spinner Leach respectively. Erwee’s complex innings finally came to an end after this brutal short ball from Stokes, which the Proteas opener could only balloon to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes. Stokes struck again in his next over, trapping Van der Dusen in front with a backer to leave South Africa five down and the lead just 27 – Stokes’ crucial spell read 2-14 from five overs with two maidens. Broad then dismissed Verreynne as he became the second player, after Anderson, to claim three-figure Test wickets at Lord’s – before the alliance of Jansen and Maharaj dampened the optimism of England fans. That optimism may have been boosted once again when Maharaj bowled a Stokes bumper to Potts late in the day, but the hosts have a lot of work to do to maintain their unbeaten run under captain Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum.

Jack Leach says that despite falling behind England will remain on the attack
“Obviously we’re back in the game but we stuck to it really well. We always try to get wickets, that’s our mentality,” left-arm bowler Jack Leach told Sky Sports.
“We could have had a few more wickets earlier but we just have to keep at it. We are creating half chances and we have to believe that at some point they will go our way.”
Leach is also hoping to maintain his own progress under Stokes, adding: “I feel that belief in me which is nice and I’m just trying to make the most of it.
“It’s confidence after you’ve played enough Test cricket that you’ve learned a lot from these games, it comes from performances and it takes a while I guess.
“I wish I had done it sooner, but don’t think I could have gotten there sooner.”
England have won only two of their previous 25 Tests in which they have scored less than 200 after batting in the first innings of the match – against Ireland at Lord’s in 2019, when they made 85, and against Pakistan at The Kia Oval in 2006 when they were leveled for 173.
Statistics of the day
– England’s total of 165 is their lowest against South Africa at Lord’s since they were bowled out for 110 in the 1998 Test.
– Kagiso Rabada took his 12th haul of five or more wickets, his fourth against England and his first at Lord’s. The last South African with a five-wicket haul at Lord’s was Vernon Philander, with 5-30 in the 2012 Test.
– A total of 194 bowlers have made at least 100 Test wickets. Only one of them has a better strike rate than Rabada’s 40.4 balls per wicket, and that is George Lohmann, whose 112 wickets came at a strike rate of 34.1.
Kagiso Rabada celebrates after dismissing James Anderson to complete his 12th fifty in Test cricket and first at Lord’s
– James Anderson plays his 27th Test at Lord’s, equaling Mahela Jayawardena’s record of 27 Tests at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo.
– When he dismissed Kyle Verreynne, Stuart Broad took his 100th Test wicket at Lord’s. Only James Anderson (at Lord’s), Rangana Herath (at Galle) and Muttiah Muralitharan (at Sinhalese Sports Club, Kandy and Galle) had previously taken at least 100 Test wickets at a single ground.

Ben Stokes took three wickets on day two at Lord’s, removing Sarel Hervey (73), Rashi van der Dussen (19) and Keshav Maharaj (41)
England skipper Stokes (3-53) removed Hervey with a hot short ball and pinned Rassie van der Dusen (19) at lbw, while Stuart Broad then bowled Kyle Verein (11) for his 100th Test wicket in Lord’s as England rallied.
That revival, however, was halted by Jansen and Maharaj, until the latter was caught by Stokes at mid-on off Matthew Potts near the stumps.
Rabada and Erwee also played key roles for the tourists – the former scoring his 12th five-for in Test cricket and the latter sharing half-century stands with skipper Dean Elgar (47) and Keegan Petersen (24).

Rabada rolls England to get on the honors board
England added just 49 runs in the morning as Rabada proved red-hot with the red ball on the day Lord’s turned red for the Ruth Straus Foundation and to support families dealing with the death of a parent.
Pope was the first to be dismissed, dragging Rabada onto his stumps from an inside edge after he had been bowled by the same bowler in the opener as Hervey failed to catch the rope after a series of comical jugglers.
Rabada caught Broad (15) at point off a superb slower ball and then, after Janssen had cleaned up Jack Leach (15), ended the home innings when he pinned James Anderson lbw for a duck – England all out in exactly 45 overs with Pope the only player to cross 20.

Ollie Pope fell for 67 at slip Cordon as South Africa bowler Sarel Erwee failed to catch the ball despite having about four wickets!
Ollie Pope fell for 67 at slip Cordon as South Africa bowler Sarel Erwee failed to catch the ball despite having about four wickets!
Elgar and Hervey both passed that mark – although Elgar endured a few scares on seven, first upending a dismissal from Broad with no bat, just pad, before Zach Crawley killed a chance to reach over his head when it slips. from the bowling of Potts.
Potts proved costly after lunch, picked for boundaries by Elgar and Erwee when he erred too full or too short, and it was Anderson who broke the 85-run stand, with the first wicket in rather fortuitous fashion .
Elgar tried to cut the English pattern off his pads only for the delivery to brush the thigh guard and forearm before trickling back onto the stumps as he fell three runs short of a 23rd Test fifty.
This dismissal ensured Anderson became the first forty-plus pace bowler to take a Test wicket for England since Leslie Jackson against Australia in 1961 – Anderson turned 40 on 30 July.

Hervey stars before Stokes lifts England
Elgar missed a half-century, then, but not Hervey, who hit Broad on the offside for four to reach his fifty from 89 deliveries. The left-hander – who was considering quitting the game a few years ago after being plagued by off-field problems – continued to play neatly between Petersen and Aiden Markram (16) who cover Potts and left-arm spinner Leach respectively. Erwee’s complex innings finally came to an end after this brutal short ball from Stokes, which the Proteas opener could only balloon to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes. Stokes struck again in his next over, trapping Van der Dusen in front with a backer to leave South Africa five down and the lead just 27 – Stokes’ crucial spell read 2-14 from five overs with two maidens. Broad then dismissed Verreynne as he became the second player, after Anderson, to claim three-figure Test wickets at Lord’s – before the alliance of Jansen and Maharaj dampened the optimism of England fans. That optimism may have been boosted once again when Maharaj bowled a Stokes bumper to Potts late in the day, but the hosts have a lot of work to do to maintain their unbeaten run under captain Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum.

Jack Leach says that despite falling behind England will remain on the attack
Jack Leach says that despite falling behind England will remain on the attack
“Obviously we’re back in the game but we stuck to it really well. We always try to get wickets, that’s our mentality,” left-arm bowler Jack Leach told Sky Sports.
“We could have had a few more wickets earlier but we just have to keep at it. We are creating half chances and we have to believe that at some point they will go our way.”
Leach is also hoping to maintain his own progress under Stokes, adding: “I feel that belief in me which is nice and I’m just trying to make the most of it.
“It’s confidence after you’ve played enough Test cricket that you’ve learned a lot from these games, it comes from performances and it takes a while I guess.
“I wish I had done it sooner, but don’t think I could have gotten there sooner.”
England have won only two of their previous 25 Tests in which they have scored less than 200 after batting in the first innings of the match – against Ireland at Lord’s in 2019, when they made 85, and against Pakistan at The Kia Oval in 2006 when they were leveled for 173.
