CRICKET IS GAY

>>77327140
doesn't quite live up to the hype sorry mate

how the fuck do I get to the scorecard on cricinfo now

England win the toss and choose to bat, Joe Root admits it "looks a bit green" but sticks to Oval lore and trusts there are runs aplenty. Three debutants are confirmed for England - the first time since the Lord's Test against Sri Lanka in 2014. Du Plessis says he was in two minds about what to do and hopes the "overcast conditions" can give his fearsome seam attack something to work with. Just one change for them, with Kagiso Rabada reclaiming his place after suspension from Duanne Olivier.

He took issue with the domestic set-up, where targets are applicable per match and require each franchise and provincial team to field six players of colour including three black Africans. Pollock said this created an inherently weak structure which produced below-par cricketers of all races.

"You are going to pick a guy like Heino Kuhn, the opening batsman, who got a couple of hundreds in first-class cricket. He's not good enough to play Test cricket. The guys are playing in a bad standard of first-class cricket in South Africa because of the politics and interference in selection."

Vernon Philander has been taken to hospital for tests after he was forced to leave the field in the morning session. Philander, who bowled five overs earlier, will not bowl again today. He went into the match with a stomach bug, picked up on the first morning and his condition has since worsened.

Going down leg, waste of a review.
