1st over: England 8-0 (Crawley 8, Sibley 0) Kagiso Rabada takes the first over, presumably so that Vernon Philander can bowl from the favourable Wynberg End. Crawley gets his first boundary in Test cricket with a confident, wristy clip through midwicket, and his second with a lovely drive through mid-off. Two lovely strokes, those, but he gets carried away and tries to drive another off the last delivery. He dragged the ball onto the pad and just wide of the stumps.
Stokes’s five-for equals the Test record for an outfielder. They were all difficult catches, too. He is, in the parlance of our time, gloriously backasswards.
