The Castle Lager Proteas have described the opening day of the third Sunfoil Test match against England at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium as a “good day” . All of the batsmen grinded out the challenging conditions and persistent spells from England’s bowlers but some gave their wickets away softly after making starts. The lower-order fightback by Chris Morris (26 not out) and Kagiso Rabada (20 not out), on which a lot of emphasis has been placed on throughout the series, will have given the squad some comfort at stumps on day one.
Dean Elgar, who top-scored with 46, feels it will be difficult to judge what a par first innings total will be until both teams have batted, but feels anything above 300 will be a competitive total considering the tricky conditions.
