England vs South Africa : The best way to watch TV in the UK

 

England's three-match series against South Africa kicked off the summer test season today (August 17).

Since defeating India in the postponed fifth test match at Edgbaston in July, the England test team has not competed.

Since the feisty duo took over as the team's leaders earlier this year, England has won all four of its test matches under the leadership of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum.

The test series against South Africa is England's final match before they travel to Australia for the T20 World Cup in October.
