In the current test match between England and South Africa which is get playing at the venue of Lord’s Cricket Ground, Ben Stokes bowled a deadly bouncer in his one over which can harm to South African opener Sarel Erwee, if he doesn’t plunged his bat into the middle of it, which resulted in his decimation after playing a fantastic knock of 73(146). After winning the toss the South African captain Dean Elgar has decided to bowl first in the favourable bowling conditions.
Due to decent assistance for the South African fast bowlers from the pitch, the England batters found it hard to cope up with the hostilities. But still the English top order batsman Ollie Pope showed courage as he played a knick of 73(102). Instead of him not a single English batsman survived the lethal pace bowling of South Africa. And the whole team gets bundled out on a mediocre score of 165/10.
But while South Africa came to bat the pitch seemed to be altered completely as England bowlers were not getting assistance, which Proteas bowlers got and in spite of this the classy batting of Dean Elgar and Sarel Erwee ensured the strong start for the proteas.

In between this the set batsman Sarel Erwee was dismissed by England captain Ben Stokes on a deadly bouncer which could hit him on the helmet, where it took a thick age of his gloves and wicketkeeper Ben folks could take a simple grab. If Erwee doesn’t put his hands into the middle then the ball could directly hit him on the face.
