England made slow progress on the first day of the fourth Test and reached 260/6 at stumps. Skipper Joe Root and his deputy Ben Stokes scored individual half-centuries before both were dismissed. England struggled to get their partnerships going and did not manage big score. Kagiso Rabada and Duanne Olivier shared four wickets amongst themselves for South Africa which restricted the home side in accelerating the run flow. Joe Root’s troops presently lead the four-match series 2-1 after they won the first and third match and a win in this game will give them the series in their favour.
