Check out our live updates: England v Proteas: Second Test in Manchester, Day 2 — LIVE
Rabada was determined to show his mettle with the bat and has done a fine job top-scoring for the Proteas with 32 not out off 63 balls.South Africa lost three wickets in the session, Jimmy Anderson striking two hammer blows as he trapped Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj with successive deliveries.
But the home side will also be delighted with the way Ollie Robinson and Anderson set the tone up front with the new ball, seaming the ball both ways and beating the bat several times. Having chosen a second frontline spinner, for the first time in England since 1960, in Simon Harmer, South Africa were always going to want to bat first and bowl last on a dry-looking pitch, even though there was heavy cloud around Manchester.
South Africa’s potent bowling attack led them to victory by an innings and 12 runs at Lord’s in the first Test.South Africa have only managed to beat England once in nine Tests at Old Trafford, although they have won three of their five ODIs in the stadium next to the famous football ground.
