First it was South Africa and then it was England. Then there was one from South Africa once again. All in all 15 wickets fell on Day 2 and England were poorer for it. They were pretty much on track until the wicket of Joe Root fell. After that, it all went downhill for the hosts. South Africa lost Heino Kuhn without putting too much on the board in their second innings. Hashim Amla and Dean Elgar then closed that opening and taken South Africa to a lead of 2015 runs.

England vs South Africa, 2nd Test Day 2 Highlights: South Africa 75/1. It has been a day for the bowlers and the visitors. England crumbled after the wicket of Joe Root and ended up conceding a 205-run lead at the end of the day.
