England (ENG) will be hosting South Africa (SA) in the 1st Test match at Lord’s in London on Wednesday. South Africa beat England in three-match T20I series by 1-2 and leveled the ODI series to 1-1 last month. Both teams are now set to clash in the three-match Test series after a break of two weeks. England’s red-ball team are flying high after thrashing New Zealand 3-0 and India in the rescheduled fifth Test match. England, under the new management of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, have approached an attacking mindset in Test cricket recently and dominated India and New Zealand.

South Africa are leading the World Test Championship table with five wins and two defeats so far. But they will be facing a different challenge against in-form Three Lions. South Africa beat Bangladesh by 2-0 in their last Test series in March-April but lost the practice match against England Lions by an innings and 56 runs last week. South Africa also lost right-arm pacer Duanne Olivier to a hip injury in the practice match but have enough pace options to put a challenging performance against England at Lord’s. England have won four of their last five Test matches against South Africa and are favorite to win this one as well..

    England vs South Africa Predicted Playing XI, Match Stats and Preview of 2nd Test Match

    South Africa and England will lock horns in the second Test of the series at Old Trafford, Manchester, commencing on the 25th of August. The visitors outclassed Ben Stokes’ side on the back of exceptional bowling performance from the pace quartet, leaving much to ponder for England head coach Brendon McCullum.

    McCullum, who has been dismissive of the term ‘Bazball’, faces arguably his toughest assignment against a relentless Protean side, led by an authoritative Dean Elgar, adamant to reclaim their elite status in red-ball cricket in South Africa amidst the renascence of franchise cricket in the country.

    Here are all the stats & approaching milestones you need to know ahead of the second game of the series.

    Pitch Conditions
    The surface at Old Trafford has been great for the batters in recent times, and while the pacers are handful at the venue with rich history, it does offer assistance to the spinners, which will delight Jack Leach and Keshav Maharaj. The team winning the toss would likely opt to have a go with the bat first, as chasing in the fourth innings can be a tough proposition on this surface.

    Playing Combinations for ENG vs SA
    England
    The home side are in a bit of a conundrum as opening batter Zak Crawley’s struggle continued in the series opener. The veteran bowling duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad also looked toothless for the most part in the Lord’s Test, but only a brave man can rule out a comeback in the second Test.

    Playing XI:
    Alex Lees, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes (wk), Ollie Robinson, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach, James Anderson

    South Africa
    South Africa on the other hand, have looked assured under a determined Dean Elgar, who lead from the front in the first Test with typically solid and stubborn innings. The famed pace quartet, led by the fiery Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, did the business with the ball and Mahara

    After a good period of break, the refreshed units of England and South Africa would be walking down the field in Kennington Oval to grab the Test series. In the light of their recent heroics in the format, governed by Bazball approach, hosts England were absolute favourites to grab the series but South Africa introduced themselves in the series opener with a big roar. South Africa reigned victorious in the opening Test by an innings and 12 runs at Lord’s as the English batting unit had nightmares in front of the visiting pacers.

    However, it was not the end of everything and Ben Stokes and his men pounced back in style in the following Test to name it in their favour by an innings and 85 runs. It looked like the best redemption for the English side as their veterans- Stokes, James Anderson and Stuart Broad stood at the forefront of the victory.

    Talking as things stand now, it would be a great chance for both the sturdy units to bag a series wherein England are on the receiving end of a mighty blow in form of Jonny Bairstow’s injury. Talking of their past records, England have had the upper hand in the purest format of the game wherein Dean Elgar and company will need to replicate the heroics of the opening Test to help their cause in the series decider.

    Pitch and Conditions

    The conditions at Kennington Oval are expected to favour pacers yet again where rain might spoil the play on first two days of the third Test. Overcast conditions are expected to prevail for all the five days and skipper winning the toss would prefer to bat first.

In this case, England were forced to make a change in their batting order and Harry Brook has been handed debut as per their latest announcement.

    So after extending their dominance at home in the recent Test series against New Zealand, Virat Kohli will be leading his troops in South Africa, which remains the only country where India has never ever won a Test series in history. India minus injured Rohit Sharma will be looking to finally break this jinx in the rainbow nation.

    The Test side has the likes of in-form Mayank Agarwal, returning KL Rahul, captain Virat himself, and Shreyas Iyer, who is fresh from his debut Test ton, to do the bulk of the scoring in tough South African conditions. Many eyes will also be on Cheteshwar Pujara again, who is not having the best of the times in his career. It will be interesting to see whether the team includes the experienced Ajinkya Rahane who sat out the second Test in Mumbai against the Kiwis after the return of skipper Kohli.

    On the other hand, the hosts led by Dean Elgar would love to continue to perform against India at home by hoping runs from Temba Bavuma, Aiden Markram, and Quinton de Kock against a formidable-looking Indian pace attack. Wicket-taking duties will once again be on the speedsters Kagiso Rabada and Duanne Olivier along with Lungi Ngidi. The first of the three-Test takes place on Boxing Day December 26 at the SuperSport Park, Centurion.

    England vs South Africa - 1st ODI Match Stats, Predicted Playing XI, and Previews

    England suffered a narrow series defeat to India in the recently concluded ODI series as Jos Buttler’s turbulent start to full-time captaincy continued after losing the T20I series against the same opposition earlier.

    But the English side won’t have much time to lick their wounds as a combative South African team visits the English shores for an ODI and T20I series followed by three Tests. The Proteas will engage in the first ODI of the three-match series on 19th July, Tuesday at the Riverside Ground.

    South Africa, unlike the hosts, haven’t played any cricket since their T20I series against India last month, which finished 2-2, and will be itching to get back onto the field amidst a jampacked international calendar. They will be without their influential skipper Temba Bavuma, recovering from an elbow injury sustained against India. Keshav Maharaj will lead the side on his behalf instead.

    Here are all the stats & approaching milestones you need to know ahead of the first game of the series.

    Watch out.

    Pitch and conditions

    The surface at the Riverside Stadium is one of the lower scoring grounds in the country, and the team chasing has won 11 of the 20 matches played at the venue. The pacers will be a handful at the venue with early seam movement on offer and the team winning the toss would prefer to bowl first, and a first innings tally of under 240 will favour the chasing side.

    Buttler will be concerned with the recurrent failure of his top-order batters in the ODI series against India but will back them to come good in the upcoming white-ball series against the Proteas. Matthew Potts, who has been impressive in red-ball cricket for the hosts, has made it to the ODI squad and will be eager to make his impression in white-ball cricket as well. Adil Rashid also returns to the squad after his return from Pilgrimage duties.

    After the ODI series ended in a draw, two strong-looking teams in the form of England and South Africa will take on each other in a T20I series with the first encounter to be played at the County Ground, Bristol on July 27 (Wednesday). Meanwhile, the Proteas have given strong competition to the home team during the 50-over matches and will back themselves to win the T20I series.

    Talking about the England team, experienced all-rounder Moeen Ali has been England’s top run-getter in the T20I format this year. Batters Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone have also looked in good touch and they will want to give their best in the upcoming series.

    Meanwhile, South Africa are also looking strong on paper with their senior batters including Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, and Aiden Markram performing extremely well with the bat. Pacers Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, and Lungi Ngidi will look to provide early wickets to their side and help their team to get in a strong position.

    Here are all the stats & approaching milestones you need to know ahead of the first game of the series.

    Pitch Conditions
    The wicket at County Ground, Bristol is expected to be good for batting with a high-scoring encounter looking on the cards. The wicket has generally offered help to the seamers in the past. The skipper winning the toss might be tempted to have a bowl first and chase the total later on.

    England and South Africa are set to cross swords in Match No.39 of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 on Saturday, November 6 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. The Brits, led by Eoin Morgan, are all, but through to the semis, having won all four of their matches with a net run rate of 3.183.

    However, they have been jolted with a blow after Tymal Mills was ruled out with thigh strain. Reece Topley has been roped in as his replacement. The Proteas, on the other, have to win their next game to have any chance of qualifying for the semi-final. They also need to get their nrr above Australia’s.

    Jos Buttler is in the form of his life of late. The right-hander has smashed 214 runs from four matches. The average of 214 means that he has got out only once in the tournament thus far. In the previous game against Sri Lanka, Buttler bailed his team out and scored a masterful ton. Moreover, he has scored those runs at an incredible strike rate of 153.95.

    Anrich Nortje has bowled with a lot of venom in the T20 World Cup. In four matches, the speedster has picked up eight wickets and is also the leading wicket-taker for the Proteas in the mega event. Moreover, the fact that he has bowled at an economy rate of 4.56 shows that batters have found it tough to get him away. The England batters need to play him with caution.

    After losing the Test series by a 2-1 margin, team India will lock horns with South Africa in the three-match ODI series starting on January 19, 2022, at Boland Park in Paarl. The team will be led by stand-in skipper KL Rahul in the series as the newly appointed ODI captain Rohit Sharma is injured and out of action. It will be the first ODI assignment for the men in blue in 2022 as they last played 50-overs format back in July 2021 under Shikhar Dhawan’s captaincy against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka.

    Speaking of the recently concluded Test series, India’s drought in the Rainbow nation extended as South Africa still remains the only country where the sub-continent team hasn’t won a Test series in their history. For the hosts, there were a lot of positives in the series win with Keegan Petersen and Marco Jansen impressing everyone with their performances. Speedster Kagiso Rabada was at his lethal best as he turned out to be the highest wicket-taker in the series with 20 scalps to his name. Captain Dean Elgar led from the front both as a skipper and batter as he finished the series as the second-highest run-getter with 235 runs.

    ODI skipper Temba Bavuma will be hoping to repeat the same by beating India in the ODI series as the hosts welcome their limited-overs regulars David Miller, Tabraiz Shamsi, Dwaine Pretorius, and Janneman Malan. Apart from the washed-out ODI against the Netherlands in November 2021, Wayne Parnell will be playing his first full series since 2018 when he joined Worcestershire to play county games in the Kolpak deal. On the other hand, the visitors have selected some new talents like Ruturaj Gaikwad and Venkatesh Iyer with senior pro-Shikhar Dhawan returning at the top of the order.

    After finishing off with the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League, it is time for the Men in Blue to get back to international cricket, with their first stint scheduled against South Africa. India is all set to host the Proteas for five T20Is, and the first game will go underway on June 9, Thursday. The Indian team misses out on some of its key players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah and with KL Rahul’s injury at the last moment, captaincy charge has been given to Rishabh Pant.

    South Africa, on the other hand, lost their previous white-ball fixture (ODIs) against Bangladesh at their home as they lost the series 2-1 in March. They will be looking for redemption, thereby getting back to form in the white-ball format, when they face India in the upcoming five games. The South African side will be led by Temba Bavuma and he will be in charge of a team that includes several players who performed really well in the recently concluded IPL. Thus, the encounter will be interesting.
