The hole in the cricket season left by the scrapped Global T20 League has given fans the rare thrill of seeing Proteas in action in domestic games

The groundsman at the Wanderers Club is confident of his deck for the third Test.

Attendances at domestic matches are depressingly low, despite offering great value-for-money entertainment.

For more than 40 years a club cricketer par excellence, Edmund Ntikinca still displays a canny take on life.

A defiant century stand from captain Misbah-ul-Huq and Asad Shafiq took Pakistan safely to stumps on day three of the first Test against South Africa.

South Africa go into the final Test against England one-nil down, needing a victory to level the series and retain the Basil d’Oliveira trophy.
