about the videoAfter defeating South Africa in the opening Test of the series at Lord’s, England are looking to build on their lead in the second Test at Trent Bridge beginning on 14th July (Friday). New England captain Joe Root enjoyed a perfect start to his captaincy leading his side to a convincing 221-run win as well as scoring a brilliant century (190) to set his side on course for victory. The Nottinghamshire all-rounder took 10 wickets in the match, with career best figures of six for 53 in the second innings, as well as scoring vital first innings runs (87). England are likely to field the same team having named an unchanged 12-man squad for the second Test in Nottingham. South Africa welcome back captain Faf du Plessis after he missed the first Test following the birth of his first child.
