England faces South Africa in the first Test of a three-match series, starting on Wednesday at the Lord's cricket stadium in London. The Ben Stokes-led side is currently on a four-match unbeaten streak. Since Brendon McCullum has been appointed head coach, England beat New Zealand 3-0 and India in a Covid delayed Test.
Dean Elgar’s South Africa, currently ranked third on ICC Men’s Test Rankings, is also in great form. The Proteas are sitting on top of the ICC World Test Championship table following their three series wins, including a 2-1 victory over India in January.
On Wednesday, when the two in form sides will face each other at the Lord's, all eyes will be on how they fare against each other. Elgar has already expressed his disgust for 'Bazball', a term associated with England in line with McCullum's nickname.
England, of late, played magnificent cricket, guided by Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root.
Meanwhile, South Africa is coming to play the first Test after losing to England Lions by a massive margin of an innings and 56 runs in the four-day warm-up match.
But with Kagiso Rabada, Rassie van der Dussen, Keegan Petersen, and Elgar in the XI, it is expected South Africa will recover from the defeat and challenge the host in search of its first series win on English soil since 2012.
