A year-long English grip at the no.1 ranked status is at the stake as they enter the second Investec Test against South Africa, played at Headingley, Leeds on August 2, 2012.
English team will seek to bounce back after what spin bowler, Graeme Swann described as a "public humiliation" due to their defeat in the first test match. England's number one spot as a Test team is under threat after they were beaten by an innings and 12 runs in the first Test at the Oval last week, with the hosts taking only two wickets while South Africa piled up 637 runs in their only innings.
Last year, the Poms dismantled India in the third Test of the four-match series to ensure their position as the world’s top Test side. Scenes of delight and utmost joy were seen at Edgbaston, where their domination was attributed to a full-on team effort, headed by Andrew Strauss. The English team likely to play include: 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Alastair Cook, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Ian Bell, 6 James Taylor, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 James Anderson, 11 Steven Finn.
2012 proved to be unfortunate for England so far, who had to face the humiliation of 3-0 whitewash at the hands of Pakistan, before barely managing to save their status, courtesy a Kevin Pietersen blitz against Sri Lanka.
South Africa has not won consecutive Tests since early 2010 but they look to be more confident as they will begin their quest for 2nd test match against the hosts today. The probable South African squad may include: 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Alviro Petersen, 3 Hashim Amla, 4 Jacques Kallis, 5 AB de Villiers (wk), 6 Jacques Rudolph, 7 JP Duminy, 8 Vernon Philander, 9 Dale Steyn, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Imran Tahir.
