ENG vs SA: England will lock horns against South Africa in the 1st Test of the South Africa tour of England, 2022 on Wednesday, August 17, 2022, at Lord’s, London.
After a successful white-ball leg, South Africa and England will now take on each other in the three-match Test series. The hosts kicked off their new Test era under the leadership of Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum in a style, swatting aside New Zealand 3-0 and India in the rescheduled fifth Test match.
The Three Lions are currently placed seventh in the ICC World Test Championship points table and have little to no chance of qualifying for the finals. However, they will be eager to extend their winning run in the red ball format.
South Africa, on the other hand currently leads the World Test Championship table with five wins and two defeats so far. They thrashed Bangladesh 2-0 in their last Test series in March-April but lost the practice match against England Lions by an innings and 56 runs last week. They will be eager to replicate their ominous form in the limited overs format to Tests.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 1st Test of the South Africa tour of England, 2022.
