England do still fancy their short ball tactic to the tail, Anderson twice bouncing Rabada in the first three balls of his over. Stuart Broad, South Africa 108/8 (38) England continue to persist with the short ball tactic, but an end-of-spell James Anderson may not be their best exponent of it. Another good period for England, with two-in-two for James Anderson moving them closer to wrapping this South Africa innings up. South Africa may have a dart now with both Broad and Anderson sniffing a five-for.

Is this the right ploy? A short ball from Broad fails to get up, sending it slamming into the scapula of a ducking Kagiso Rabada. [Ollie Robinson coming into the bowling attack](/sport/cricket/england-south-africa-robinson-crawley-second-test-b2151797.html) to add height and bounce, with Matthew Potts dropping out. The South African bowling attack ripped through the English batting line-up, led by the pace of Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen, and England must come up with a way to stem the loss of wickets at Old Trafford this week if they are to level the three-Test series. Rabada has looked probably the most comfortable batter out there so far.

South Africa win toss, bat; Simon Harmer in for Marco Jansen (ESPNcricinfo.com)

South Africa won the toss and chose to bat against England. South Africa won the toss in the second Test under cloudy skies at Emirates Old Trafford … and chose to bat first, in a decision designed to maximise the impact of their twin-spin attack in ...

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.

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.

England vs South Africa live: score and latest updates from day 1 of ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

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.

England v South Africa: second Test, day one – live! (The Guardian)

WICKET! Markram c Foakes b Stokes 14 (South Africa 68-4). Oh, Aiden! Again Stokes goes short, again he pulls, and again he mistimes, youching his frustration as ...

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.
