Match Review
On Friday, August 26, at the Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, South Africa and England played in the 2nd Test, day 2 match of the South Africa tour of England, 2022.
South Africa has something to be happy about on an English-owned day thanks to the two openers who make it to stumps. Before stopping to gratify some of the spectators for photographs and autograph requests, Stokes and Foakes lead the England players off the field. After teaming up at 147/5, the two of them were crucial in building a sizable advantage for the home team.
The game was in a precarious position at the moment, but the pair had a 173-run stand for the sixth wicket, going on to both score hundreds. Given how much the conditions have smoothed out, South Africa might still be in it. However, they have a tough time scoring a lot of points.
