PRETORIA - The illness epidemic that has beset the England team since arriving in South Africa a fortnight ago claimed more victims on Saturday when captain Joe Root and wicketkeeper Jos Buttler were declared unwell.
Root left the field not long after the start of the third day’s play at Centurion Park on Saturday with a fever and stomach problems, a team spokesman said.Before play, Buttler had been declared unwell with Jonny Bairstow talking over the gloves as South Africa resumed their second innings on 72-4.Bowlers Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad and Jack Leech missed out on the two warm-up games before the start of the first test with spinner Leech still quarantined at the team’s hotel.
Chris Woakes fell ill on the eve of the test and Mark Wood reported sick on Thursday - although neither were expected to play at Pretoria.Ben Stokes battled with dehydration during the first day of the test on Thursday but recovered to both bat and bowl on Friday.
