England v South Africa cricket 2022: How to watch 2nd Test
Your complete guide on how to watch England v South Africa in a big summer of cricket featuring TV schedule, times, radio details and more.
England will hope to produce a rousing backlash display when they return to action for the second Test match of their series against South Africa this week.
Ben Stokes' men were bowled out for 165 in their first innings, South Africa set a respectable target of 326 in their opening innings, but England returned to the crease for just 149. South Africa won the encounter without even needing to put the pads on for a second time.
Ollie Pope scored 73 in the first innings, and Stokes was next highest with just 20. Alex Lees opened the batting in the second innings with 35, matched only by tailender Stuart Broad.
Jonny Bairstow, the name on everyone's lips all summer went for a duck and 18, while Zak Crawley's place has come under even more intense scrutiny following a 9 and 13 in his two stints.
Fans should expect a series full of superb entertainment, with England favourites to wrap up their summer exploits with another series victory, though that seems more uncertain now.
