England vs South Africa live stream: how to watch 2nd Test cricket online from anywhere
They won’t soon forget the first defeat of England’s new era. Just as Dean Elgar promised, the Proteas crushed the hosts and reduced a five-day test to a two-and-a-half day walk in the park. Ben Stokes and Brendan McCullum say there’s only one thing: go harder. Read on as we explain how to watch a live England vs South Africa stream and watch the 2nd Test online from anywhere.
Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje stole the show at Lord’s, the former winning seven wickets in total, including a five despite playing through an injury, and the latter claiming six scalps of his own. Keshav Maharaj’s softer approach was also a tidbit, but fearsome as South Africa’s bowlers were, England didn’t help their cause.
Stokes and Matthew Potts’ short-ball approach to the Proteas tail was disastrous, and if immense pressure wasn’t already on his shoulders, Zak Crawley must feel it now after a nine and a 13.
England have relied on Joe Root and more recently Jonny Bairstow to pull them out of the mud for far too long. Can they now muster a combined effort against the team currently leading the Test World Championship?
