South Africa vs England second Test LIVE: How to listen to commentary of Day One as tourists look to hit back

England will be looking bounce back when they take on South Africa in the second Test in Cape Town.

Joe Root’s men were hit by illness and poor form in the opening clash of their winter tour and went on to suffer a heavy defeat.

The tourists collapsed to a 107 run loss and must now respond in the second Test of the four-match series.

talkSPORT 2 will bring you full coverage of the match and England legend Kevin Pietersen will be joining our commentary team at the PPC Newlands Cricket Ground.

England are sweating on the fitness of Jofra Archer and Rory Burns.

Paceman Archer was unable to bowl in practice on Wednesday due to a sore right elbow, while opening batsman Burns limped out of the squad’s pre-training football match.

Joe Root also confirmed on Wednesday that two squad members were unavailable for selection. Fast bowler Mark Wood has yet to work back to match fitness and spinner Jack Leach is not being considered after being badly affected by illness.
