Dean Elgar - You set yourself up nice if you score well in the first innings

Loading player...
The Proteas captain, Dean Elgar, feels that the first innings with the bat is the key to the third and decisive Test against England at the Oval.
The Proteas won the 1st Test at Lord's by an innings and 12 runs, while the hosts levelled series last week with an innings and 85 run win at Old Trafford.
Both teams take a break for the week and this will give the Proteas in particular some time to reflect.
Elgar said in both Tests the team batting first made it count.
