Proteas vs England day 1 review

Day 1 of the first test between Proteas and England was a rain-interrupted affair as most of the day got washed out.

Today saw only the morning session played and a few overs after lunch before the rain came down and washed out the rest of the day.

The day belonged to the Proteas who managed to pick up six wickets. Proteas won the toss and chose to bowl first, and the bowlers repaid their captain's decision by picking up 5 wickets in the morning session as England went to Lunch on a 100-5.

The big wickets of Root, Bairstow and Stokes all fell in the morning session, Root was LBW to Jansen and Bairstow was bowled by Nortje. Stokes was out on the last ball of the morning session caught Keegan Petersen in the slips bowled Nortje.

Rabada got the wickets of the two openers early in the day to set up the Proteas bowling performance nicely. Nortje struck once more after lunch as he bowled Foakes out.

England ended the Day 116-6 as Proteas took control as their four pace bowlers were excellent as they continuously asked questions of the batsman.
