England take on South Africa in the third Test of their winter tour with the series evenly poised, and you can listen to exclusive coverage on talkSPORT 2.
The tourists head into day two in a decent position, closing Thursday’s play on 224-4 as Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope helped to bail them out of a tricky situation.
As ever, Stokes was key for England
Stokes and Popes unbroken stand of 56 has arguably given England the edge having lost three wickets for 35 runs to slip to 184-4 at one point.
They will return on Friday looking to capitalise on a good start, something the top order has been guilty of failing to achieve recently.
Well have full coverage of the day’s play once again from Port Elizabeth.
England legend Kevin Pietersen is part of our stellar commentary line-up.
He is joined on our team in South Africa by former teammate Matt Prior, with the pair having kissed and made up following their fall-out in the wake of Pietersen’s axing from the England team in 2014.
