England were 260 for six after winning the toss at stumps on the first day of the fourth Test against South Africa at Old Trafford yesterday.


Jonny Bairstow was 33 not out, with nightwatchman Toby Roland-Jones unbeaten on nought after Ben Stokes was bowled for 58 by Kagiso Rabada in the penulti-mate over.


Before that, South Africa checked England's progress with two wickets in quick succession after lunch.

Alastair Cook (46) and Essex team-mate Tom Westley (29) both fell with the score on 92 as England saw two wickets go down for no runs in 19 balls.

Dawid Malan helped England captain Joe Root put on 52 for the fourth wicket before, having battled hard, he fell to Morne Morkel for 18.
