England vs Proteas 2nd Test Preview

The second test match between England and South Africa gets on the way tomorrow morning at Old Trafford Manchester and the I'm excited to see some good test cricket being played tomorrow. I will be supporting Proteas. Who will you be supporting?

England will be out to prove their new approach to test cricket is sustainable and that it can bring them long-term success. The England openers will want to put some big scores on the board as they are running out of opportunities to stay in the team. The rest of the England batting order will be hoping Lords was a once-off and they can return to the form they have shown throughout the English summer.

England have announced their starting 11 for tomorrow making one change bringing in Ollie Robinson in place of Potts.

Proteas will be looking to continue from where they left off in the first test and put in another winning performance to seal the series 2-0. Proteas hope their middle order will contribute significantly and help them score big on the board. The Proteas bowlers will look to continue their excellent work from the 1st test and look to continue restricting the English batsman.

Proteas will announce their team at the toss tomorrow and whoever wins the toss will bowl first.

My predicted 11 for Proteas

Proteas: 1: Dean Elgar, 2: Sarel Erwee, 3: Keegan Petersen, 4: Aiden Markram, 5: Ryn Rickelton, 6: Kyle Verrynne, 7: Marco Jansen, 8: Keshav Maharaj, 9: Kagiso Rabada, 10: Anrich Nortje, 11: Lungi Ngidi

This series also has world test championship points at stake for England it's an opportunity to stake a case to finish in the top five of the world test championship and for Proteas, it's an opportunity to seal a spot in the world test championship final

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

The third day of the third Test match between Australia and Pakistan was exciting, with both teams battling it out on the field. Australia resumed on 116-2 with Labuschange and Smith continuing to score steadily and take Australia closer to Pakistan's first innings score of 313. Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs. Pakistan began their 2nd innings in the worst way possible by losing 2 quick wickets in opener Abdulla Shafiq and Captain Shan Masood both for ducks. Saim Ayub and Babar Azam then gave Pakistan some hope with a partnership of 57 before Pakistan's batting collapsed from 58-2 to 68-7 to end the day staring at defeat and missing another chance to win their 1st test in 28 years. Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...
