5 things which went wrong for South Africa in the 4th Test match

#5 Giving in to the pressure

The home side was up for the match much than their South African counterparts

While the manner in which South Africa managed to make a comeback after the Lord's Test was highly commendable, a similar approach was badly missing at Old Trafford.

It seemed as if the visitors had already given in to the pressure following the loss in the third Test match with a lacklustre approach to the game and in the moments where they should have pressed home the advantage, South Africa simply failed to deliver and the hosts made them pay dearly.

England has adopted an aggressive approach to their gameplay successfully and in contrast, South Africa was simply going through the motions waiting for the mistakes to happen from the opposition rather than create them with a ruthless approach.
