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.

The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1.

Pakistan vs Australia 2nd test Day 1 review

Australia and Pakistan faced off in the second Test match at MSG. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. The visitors started well with opening bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Mir Hamza getting the ball to move off the seam. However, the Australian batter struck back with a good opening partnership of 90 runs. Australia finished the day at 187/3 off 66 overs as rain played spoilsport, with Hasan Ali, Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal the pick of the bowlers. It was a tough day for the Pakistani bowlers as they struggled to cause Australian bowlers for long enough periods at a time, but they will look to bounce back on Day 2. The Australian batsman will be aiming to put up a big total for their bowlers to bowl too. Overall, it was an exciting day of Test cricket and fans can look forward to more action in the coming days.
