2nd Test - South Africa v England
Play Starts: 10:00
One of our favourite test match grounds, with a lush outfield and grass embankments, the pitch here is known for being a little quicker than others, which helped Jofra Archer take a third innings fifer the last time Engladn played a test here in 2019. England did go on to lose that match though, and don't have a particularly good record here. Their only win came in 2000 which was marred by the infamous Hanse Cronje match-fixing scandal, when both teams forfeited an innings to force a result in the face of rain delays. Cronje orchestrated this as he needed to force a result for the bookmakers. England will be hoping to rectify that record this winter.
