India Champions' journey to defend their World Championship of Legends title began on a horrific note as they lost their opening clash against South Africa.

In the 18th over of the ongoing third Test between Australia and South Africa, Nathan Lyon bowled a superb delivery to clean up Sarel Erwee.

Playing his 100th home Test, the 40-year-old, who was bowling from the end of the stadium named after him -- the 'James Anderson End' -- produced a nip-backer to wrongfoot Sarel Erwee

England captain Ben Stokes gave it his all on the second day, and he bowled a fiery spell, with a barrage of bouncers, and this helped him return with three wickets.

Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj took South Africa into a first-innings lead over England of more than a hundred runs in the first Test at Lord's on Thursday

New Zealand, set a record 426 target to win, were all out in their second innings for 227 eight balls after tea on the final day.

A bold call by South Africa to bat first in the second Test against New Zealand paid dividends Friday with the tourists 238 for three, including a maiden century to Sarel Erwee, at stumps on day one.
