The match began on the third day of the Test, when both teams entered the field and the audience remained silent. The players have been awarded the Military Honor Guard.

A non-commissioned officer from the Irish guards observed a minute’s silence before ringing the bell.

The South African national anthem was sung and then the updated English anthem followed, with the crowd joining.

The audience cheered before the match began.

Both teams entered the field with a 1-1 draw in the series.
