On the other hand, former England captain Nasser Hussain said: “England’s hot in the weather and not feeling well. I’m pleased that a few words were exchanged, to be honest. (They’ve) got a problem with each other, Broad has said something in the huddle that Stokes is not amused with and England’s vice-captain picks him up on it. I don’t mind that at all.”

England is now on the bat and is struggling against the decisive bowling of South Africa, but the target to achieve is not that hard for the World Champions.
