Rassie van der Dussen Ruled Out Of England vs South Africa Test Series

By

South Africa batter Rassie van der Dussen has been ruled out of the third Test against England after he suffered a finger injury on Day 1 of the second Test in Manchester, Cricket South Africa said on Saturday. "Proteas batter Rassie van der Dussen has been ruled out for the remainder of the Test series against England due to a fracture of his left index finger," CSA said in a statement. All-rounder Wiaan Mulder has been added to South Africa's squad for the series decider.

"He will return to South Africa to consult a finger specialist, who will then guide on further medical management," CSA added about van der Dussen.

England beat South Africa by an innings and 85 runs in the second Test to level the series at 1-1.

It was revenge of sorts for the hosts, after South Africa won the first match by an innings and 12 runs.

In Manchester, South Africa won the toss and opted to bat.

However, England started brilliantly with the ball and bowled their opponents out for 151.

Then, centuries from Ben Stokes (103) and Ben Foakes (113*) helped England reach a score of 415/9 before they declared.

England's pacers then ran South Africa ragged as they bowled them out for 179.

Rassie van der Dussen and Keegan Peterson put on a defiant 87-run stand to keep South Africa in with a chance of avoiding innings defeat, but once they fell just after Tea on the third day of the Test, the lower order was rattled out, with Anderson striking twice and Ollie Robinson thrice.

Promoted

Robinson, brought back into the team in place of Matthew Potts, finished with a four-wicket haul in the second innings.

The series is now level at 1-1 after South Africa themselves inflicted an innings defeat on England in the first Test.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
