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.

Robinson will replace Matt Potts in England’s only change for the Old Trafford Test. It’s not going to go anywhere.

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.

He was named in the team on the eve of the match, in place of Matt Potts. England: 1 Alex Lees, 2 Zak Crawley, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, ...

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.

England were as magnificent with the ball as wasteful they had been in the last Test, James Anderson striking inside the first five overs after Dean Elgar ...

South Africa were 77/5 at Lunch, and brief Rabada resistance aside largely continued in that vein afterwards, all out for a paltry 151. In fact, Robinson should have had Elgar excellently caught at short leg by Ollie Pope, but he sloppily overstepped, one of the three no balls he bowled in an otherwise excellent return to the side. South Africa’s decision to play two spinners no doubt influenced their decision to bat first, hoping for an advantage bowling last in the Test. Popular gadgets including laptop, tablet and mobile specifications, features, prices, comparison. England’s crumbly top order still found time for a wobble of their own – only serving to reinforce the idea that South Africa choosing to bat first was madness – but by the close, they were 111/3, only 40 behind and returning home forever grateful for Elgar’s decision in the morning.

A team’s spinner getting the token last over before lunch is a well-worn cricketing trope, although here, South Africa managed to put a new and from their point of view almost certainly unwelcome twist on it, with Simon Harmer finding himself out in the middle with his pads on having to bat the last over of the session. Even with Robinson’s efforts largely unrewarded, England still found ways to prosper with the ball, Stuart Broad seemingly not smarting from the decision to take him off new ball duties – picking up the wickets of Elgar and Keegan Petersen coming in as the first change, to reduce South Africa to 40/3 inside the first 15 overs. Reprieved from having to immediately humiliate themselves with the bat, England were as magnificent with the ball as wasteful they had been in the last Test, James Anderson striking inside the first five overs and the side never really looking back from that moment. [Kagiso Rabada](https://www.firstpost.com/tag/kagiso-rabada), so they must have been delighted to find themselves in the field at the start of play, pouching catches behind the wicket and watching opposition batsmen forlornly trudge off the pitch instead of themselves. After a welcomingly slack bowling performance by England in the series’ opening Test at Lord’s last week, South Africa decided to reciprocate here with their own act of generosity, inserting themselves under cloudy Manchester skies and letting England’s bowlers have a good go at them. England were as magnificent with the ball as wasteful they had been in the last Test, James Anderson striking inside the first five overs after Dean Elgar asked them to bowl first.

But the visitors could manage only 151 runs (53.2 overs) in the first innings as veteran England pacers James Anderson and Stuart Broad claimed three wickets ...

England's Stuart Broad celebrate after dismissing South Africa's captain Dean Elgar during the first day of the 2nd test cricket match between England and South Africa at the Old Trafford, in Manchester, England. South Africa's batsman Kagiso Rabada plays a delivery from England's bowler Stuart Broad during the first over of the first day of the 2nd test cricket match between England and South Africa at the Old Trafford, in Manchester, England. In reply, England were 111/3 in 28 overs with Zak Crawley and Jonny Bairstow unbeaten on 17 and 38 runs, respectively.

Harmer has a short leg and a a slip in for Foakes who made a Test century on debut against Sri Lanka's spinners in Galle.

Sarel Erwee was beaten several times in a skittish start and fell for three when Anderson (three for 32) drew one back in, well caught by Ben Foakes off the inside edge. Plenty of encouragement for Rabada with the movement and Bairstow in acceleration mode but he manages to get his bat on another hooping inducker and tickle it off his pads for a single. Rabada continues to make the ball reverse, swinging one on to Crawley's toes which he flicks fine for a single. Crawley is given a shorter one to start that nibbles back off the pitch (if nibbling can be done at 90mph, 'tears' perhaps?) and smacks him in the goolies. Bairstow pushes at it and nicks off to slip where Erwee takes it at the first attempt this time. But he gets his nose over the second ball and plays a solid backward defensive. After a couple of defensives, Stokes earns one in the slot and creams it through the covers for four. Foakes gives England the lead with an ugly swipe that chips off the inside edge and beats Verreynne on his left side as he made a vain headlong dive to grab it. And he beats Foakes with his first ball that zips past the edge as England's keeper prods tentatively forward. The knee is giving Stokes gyp but he is gritting his teeth and battling on. Harmer comes round the wicket to Foakes and slanting it across to off stump, inviting him to hit through the offside against the turn of the off-break. Foakes brings up the fifty partnership off Rabada, each contributing 25, with a midwicket flick for a single.
