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.

Elgar has already expressed his disgust for 'Bazball', a term associated with England in line with McCullum's nickname. Dean Elgar’s South Africa, currently ranked third on ICC Men’s Test Rankings, is also in great form. The Ben Stokes-led side is currently on a four-match unbeaten streak.

Earlier, Ben Stokes was dismissed on the stroke of lunch on the opening day of the first Test between England and South Africa at Lord's on Wednesday, to leave his side perilously placed on 100-5. Fellow quicks Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje followed up by capturing the prized wickets of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow, with all four dismissed batsmen out in single figures as England slumped to 55-4. England came into the game with a perfect record of four wins from as many Tests under their new leadership pairing of Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum. South Africa fast bowler Kagiso Rabada once again proved his worth, removing openers Alex Lees and Zak Crawley after England had been sent in to bat by Proteas captain Dean Elgar. ENG vs SA 1st Test, Day 1 Highlights: Rain forced an early end of the day's play after England were reduced to 116/6.

They've won all four chasing and with the shaky first innings start they've got, this is a good opportunity for the in-form SA to stop this English juggernaut. Ollie Pope was the shining light for England today, and he continues to bat on.

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.

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.

Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada starred as England were reduced to 116-6 on day one of the first Test against South Africa at Lords.

Rabada was also hugely impressive a dominant display from the tourists and he is now five wickets away from 250 for South Africa. The wicket of Foakes was Nortje's 50th in Test cricket in his 13th match, his raw pace proving far too hot for England's batters to handle. To cover the loss of overs on day one of the first Test in the three-match series, the remaining four days will now see 98 overs per day, with dry weather forecast.

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.

England vs South Africa, 1st Test, Day 2 Live: England will begin Day 2 at 116/6 with Ollie Pope and Stuart Broad, standing unbeaten at the crease.

Kagiso Rabada took the wickets of both of England's openers, Alex Lees and the struggling Zak Crawley, before the swing of towering Marco Jansen proved too much ...

England were unable to dig in when needed and a high-quality South Africa attack had too much for them. On not having played red-ball cricket in the lead-up: “I don’t want to make excuses. [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). “Captains before have also been criticised for the way the teams have played.

He spoke to BBC TMS after the match. Victory was brought up inside six sessions of play and before tea on the third day without them having to bat again. The guys did a great job. “South Africa deserved the victory,” said McCullum.

The onus will now be on batters to maintain the momentum. But Rabada was determined with the start on day 2 and bagged three of the remaining four English wickets. It's an absolute travesty that an potential all-time great will not get the opportunity to play the amount of Test matches he deserves. Rabada had made early inroads in the fragile English top order on day 1. By the time the next FTP cycle is completed he will be 32.

With the pitch supporting the pacers, and Rabada bowling in fine rhythm, South Africa have gained the first innings edge in the match. 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. He first got rid of Alex Lees in the third over, and then Zak Crawley in the ninth over, getting both to edge to the wicket-keeper and slip cordon respectively.
