England's poor batting continues, Proteas take the lead

Dissapointing batting of England 

                  English batters are still struggling to score runs, they lost the first match of 3-match Test series against South Africa by an innings and 12 runs because of their another poor batting effort. This is the first lose for them in the leadership of Stokes and McCullum. 

Although Bairstow and Root are scoring consistently but whenever they got out early, England suffer from a batting collapse. In the first test match, England scored 165 in 1st innings whereas their total was less than 150 in 2nd innings, which caused an innings lose for them. They have to do much better than this in upcoming matches if they want series victory over Proteas.

On the other hand, South African team is rising and they almost have found the balance in the side.Rabada is absolutely brilliant but the recent improvements in batting is biggest positive for them. They will have bright chances of playing the WTC final if they clinch their series against England and it would not be less than any achievement for them.
