ENG VS SA 1st Test, Today Match Pitch Report, Predicted Playing Xi, Today Cricket Match, Live Streaming Details, Dream 11 Prediction

Returning to more comfortable rhythms among the commotion, but with the anticipation of the occasional modernist twist. For five days this week, it might even be able to act as though everything is normal in the volatile world of international cricket.

A crowded Lord’s stadium will rumble and mutter as England and South Africa square off once more in the most opulent old format.

The Lord’s Test, the traditional highlight of the English summer, starting this late in the season is unusual but hardly unprecedented.

Due to the start of the Hundred’s first season, the India Test last year, which began on August 12, served as an early indication of the sport’s direction of development.

Taking Center Stage

James Anderson, who is 40 years old and still fantastic, will once more captain England when they play their 173rd Test match, including an astounding 27 games at Lord’s, which is more games on a single pitch than many great players managed in their whole careers.

On the night of the game, Anderson struck a lighthearted tone as he acknowledged that he is the last of his kind; he claimed that no one else “would be dumb enough” to play until they are 40 as T20 leagues continue to rise (although he admitted his similarly one-formatted team-mate Stuart Broad would have a shot at it).

But Anderson remains undisputed as the attack’s linchpin and has unwaveringly embraced the new team mentality after helping England to its fourth victory of the summer with his 32nd Test five-for against India at Edgbaston last month.

Amazingly, 20 seasons have passed since his debut Test match against South Africa.

None of the players who have returned to the South African Test team after Kolpak has a better reputation than Simon Harmer, at least in the eyes of his English rivals. When Harmer joined Essex in 2017, the then-newly promoted county was experiencing an unprecedented run of success. 

Pitch And Circumstances

After several weeks of drought, rain is forecast for London, where the competition will take place over the next five days.

The fact that Lord’s is historically a place where you gaze up, not down, during the toss, may also have an impact on the circumstances.

The pitch is still very green, but it will certainly lose a lot of that grass before the first ball is bowled.

Jonny Bairstow has struck six hundreds in his total of 994 runs at 76.46 in eight games since the beginning of 2022, needing just six more runs to achieve 1000 in Tests for the year.

Joe Root isn’t far off from that total either. In nine matches this year, he has 927 at 61.80, including five centuries.

He still has six Test matches left this year, including matches against South Africa and Pakistan, so he might beat the six hundreds he scored in 2021, however it may be difficult to reach his England record total of 1708 runs.

To become the seventh South African to play in 5000 Tests, Dean Elgar has to score 136 runs.Only Elgar, a specialist hitter, has participated in a Test match for South Africa.
