By Saurabh Sharma January 17, 2020 • 09:59 AM View: 1088

Port Elizabeth, Jan 17: An unbeaten 76-run stand between Ben Stokes (38 batting) and Ollie Pope (39 batting) saw England end Day 1 of the third Test against South Africa at 224/4 at the St George's Park here on Thursday.

Opting to bat first, the visitors were off to a decent start but lost three wickets within the span of 45 runs before Stokes and Pope joined hands and denied the hosts bowlers from making any further inroads in the England batting order.
