Protea pacemen take the fight to England in gripping final session | IOL

JOHANNESBURG – South Africa roared back into the fourth and final Test during a gripping final session at the Wanderers.

England had seemingly taken a firm hold of this fourth and final Test when the visitors went to the tea interval at 100/0 after captain Joe Root had won the toss and elected to bat. The opening pair Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley, in particular, were playing fluently and without much risk. Crawly had already brought up his maiden Test fifty and seemed set for much more.

However, Proteas debutant Beuran Hendricks stopped the runaway train when he strangled Sibley down the leg-side to claim his first Test wicket. It was just reward for the left-arm seamer, as he was easily South Africa’s most threatening bowler on the day.
