South Africa vs Australia LIVE: Pat Cummins and co. will be eyeing early wickets on Day 2 of the World Test Championship final against South Africa. The Proteas were reduced to 43/4 at the end of play on Day 1, and trail Australia by 169 runs. Temba Bavuma and David Bedingham have a tall task in hand in ensuring that SA don’t collapse any further and put their chances of laying their hands on the WTC mace in jeopardy.

Pitch Report: Lord’s, London
The surface at Lord’s has had limited use this early in the English summer. A drier spring and recent hot weather may bring spinners into play as the game progresses. Seamers will still get assistance early with the famous Lord’s slope offering lateral movement.
Batting is expected to be challenging on Day 1 but could get easier from Day 2 if the sun stays out. Thunderstorms are forecasted late in the match window, especially on Day 4 or 5.
