By Saurabh Sharma January 03, 2020 • 22:52 PM View: 1308

Cape Town, Jan 3: A depleted England had Ollie Pope to thank for a gritty unbeaten 56 even as South African pacers dominated proceedings to restrict England to 262/9 at stumps on Day 1 of the second Test at the Newlands here on Friday.

England captain Joe Root won the toss and elected to bat first sans the services of ace quick Jofra Archer and opener Rory Burns, both in-form players ruled out due to injury. Pope, playing in place of Jonny Bairstow, dug in when wickets tumbled at the other end and got to 56 from 132 balls, his innings laced with seven fours.
