South Africa capitalised on slack England batting to take the first Test, with Alex Lees and Stuart Broad top-scoring on 35 each in the home side’s second innings
England collapsed inside 40 overs as they slumped to a crushing innings-and-12-run defeat before the end of the third day of the first Test of the series against South Africa at Lord’s.
Having previously chased down high totals, including 378 to beat India earlier in the summer, England’s batters floundered at Lord’s, with Stuart Broad posting the highest individual score in the second innings as England were skittled.
