The aggressive batting approach that has helped them win their last four games against New Zealand and India misfired on this occasion. After South Africa captain Dean Elgar won the toss and opted to field, Kagiso Rabada gave his side a great start by sending both English openers Alex Lees and Zak Crawley back to the pavilion in his opening spell with just 25 on the board. Marco Jansen and Anrich Nortje backed that effort by dismissing the middle-order batters cheaply to derail England's innings. In-form batter Jonny Bairstow endured a rare failure as Nortje cleaned him up for a five-ball duck to stun the opposition camp. The right-arm seamer then dismissed England skipper Ben Stokes (20) at the stroke of lunch to round off a fruitful session for the visitors. Fans enjoyed intense cricketing action in the first session of the Lord's Test and expressed their views in the form of intriguing memes.

The English skipper seemed to have full faith in his team's new approach, opining that they are more likely to end up on the winning side if they maintain the same intensity as in their last four matches. As quoted by Sky Sports, Stokes said: "It's about making sure that five-week period doesn't mean we've lost our venom. It would be easy to have so long away to almost forget the place we managed to find ourselves in. The results will look after themselves. If we play to the standard that we have done over the last four Test matches, we know we're going to give ourselves a great opportunity of winning the game." By the time rain interrupted play, England had a score of 116/6 on the board with Ollie Pope (61*) and Stuart Broad (0*) at the crease.
