• England’s warm-up match with South Africa A ends in draw
England will ask Stuart Broad and Jofra Archer to make an “honesty call” about their fitness for the Boxing Day Test, with Broad’s vast experience making him a likelier option to take the field against South Africa.
Both players have been struck down by illness on the first week on tour and head into the opening Test of the series having sat out all five days of warm-up cricket, which concluded three hours ahead of time on Sunday with early handshakes in a low-key draw against South Africa A.
