It is amazing scenes at New Wanderers as many cricket fans came to watch mouthwatering South Africa versus England Test. Stuart Broad and company ripped apart South Africans in the second innings of the New Wanderers, Johannesburg. Broad has taken five wickets so far and Ben Stokes and Steven Finn have taken one each. Another humiliation waiting for South Africa.
England in one session took eight Proteas’ wicket. It is now difficult to imagine South Africa are the number one team of the World. However, if South Africa lose this Test, India will be the new number one Test team of the World.
South Africa batting first in this Test scored 313. England in reply with Joe Root’s hundred got 10 runs lead over the host. South Africa came in the second innings and realized they will face the fury of Stuart Broad, who took five wickets (at the time of writing) and Ben Stokes took two while Steven Finn grabbed one. At tea, South Africa lost eight wickets for 67 runs.
At short leg James Taylor two absolute stunners off Stuart Broad and Steven Finn’s deliveries.
Here is how twitter reacted to South Africa’s big collapse.

Who are the Proteas going to bring in to consult on Graeme Smith’s consulting? #Consultception #ENGvSA

Exciting period to watch Test cricket though. No obvious No.1. Four or five very evenly matched sides. #SAvENG

@SpiceBoxofEarth and some excellent players in all those teams, but the weakest 1 or 2 in each team are poorer than usual
