England vs South Africa 1st Test

 "Stokes ODI retirement is England's Test cricket gain" - Butler The Test cricket revolution continues in England as the first of a three-match streak against South Africa kicks off at Lords Stadium this morning. It's been a wild start to life under Brendon McCollum and Ben Stokes with a fearless new brand of cricket - dubbed 'Bazball' after their new coach - helping the day's hosts stop rot after suffering through just one winning streak in 17 Tests. Momentum picked up, England clinched an unforgettable win after one this summer and now face another tough test in the form of Proteas, who sit top of the Test World Championship table. England enter with just one change from the side that stunned India last time with wicket-keeper Ben Fox returning after the Covid match in place of Sam Billings. James Anderson, Stewart Broad and Matthew Potts formed a quick attack with Ole Robinson, who hasn't played for his country since the last game at the Ashes in January, and was kept waiting to be called up. Also absent is Yorkshire's brilliant hitter Harry Brook. Follow the latest results and additional updates for what should be a great first test below.
