When England take the field against South Africa at Lord's on Wednesday, their greatest wish will be to continue the momentum built up during four remarkable victories against New Zealand and India. South Africa are top of the World Test Championship, and keep churning out results under the gritty leadership of Dean Elgar. It is going to be a big series for him. For South Africa, the main question will not so much be how do they take 20 wickets, but how do they score enough runs? So far, Stokes' England have chased down four big totals on surfaces which have stayed intact throughout the match.
