England opener Rory Burns has been ruled out of the tour of South Africa after damaging his left ankle playing football during practice. England, 1-0 down in the four-Test series, will confirm their team for Friday's second Test in the morning. Last year, England director of cricket Ashley Giles told skipper Joe Root he thought playing football before matches was too dangerous. Anderson has 27 wickets in nine matches in South Africa, while Broad has captured 36 in nine Tests. "They've performed time and time again in South Africa and all around the world, they've got great knowledge of how to exploit surfaces in this country," the captain said.
