In the last five matches between the two teams, England have won 4 while South Africa have won one. The last encounter between the two sides saw England beat South Africa by 191 runs. England have turned the script in the last four Tests, winning each one more emphatically than the previous.

If rain doesn’t play spoilsport, expect an enthralling encounter at the Mecca of Cricket.

ENG vs SA, 1st Test, Pitch Report:
The pitch at Lord’s is well balanced for both batters and bowlers in red-ball cricket. Pacers are likely to trouble the batters with the new ball in the early session on day one but after that pitch will favor batters. The average first innings score here is 311 and teams batting first have won more matches compared to teams chasing a target.
