England vs South Africa First Match, Live Score Update Day 1: Kagiso Rabada Knocks England Early

The first test ENG vs SA, Live Day 1: Kagiso Rabada gave South Africa an early advantage on the first day of England vs South Africa as he equalized both of the hosts’ opening goals in the first hour of play. Rabada gave Lees a one-goal lead behind goalkeeper Kyle Verreyne, while Zak Crawley was caught in the second miss. South Africa captain Dean Elgar won the pitch and opted for tit-for-tat against Lord. While England will look to continue their four-match winning streak, South Africa will want to cement their place on the scoreboard of the World Test Championship. Interestingly, England have won all four of their last four since Stokes took over as second batting captain, so this game will present them with another challenge. (LIVE POINTS)
