After England had been bowled out for 302 in their first innings, Bancroft walked out with David Warner to face Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad. Cameron Bancroft talks to the umpire during the ball-tampering incident during the third Test between South Africa and Australia in Cape Town. Yes, it’s Test cricket.
