South Africa enjoyed a productive morning against England at Lord's after bowling the hosts out for 165 - but that didn't prevent the tourists from suffering huge embarrassment in the field. <br /><br />Ollie Pope was hoping to steer the hosts towards a more respectable score on the second morning of the first Test match of the series between the teams, standing on 67 with England struggling at 122-6.<br /><br />But Pope caught a thick edge off the bowling of Kagiso Rabada while trying to block and looked certain to be caught at slip by Sarel Erwee.<br /><br />Yet despite the ball being diverted straight to his chest for a simple catch, the South African somehow fumbled the ball as it bounced back off his torso.<br /><br />However, he was then given a second chance to gather with the ball hovering in front of him following the rebound which again he failed to grasp by only cupping the ball upwards.<br /><br />By now with his legs down on the ground, Erwee had a just as easy chance to claim the ball at a third attempt as he waited for the ball to drop down into his cupped hands.<br /><br />However, he somehow poked the ball away, and despite a final grasp to try and take a one-handed catch by his shoulder, could only slap the ball away to allow Pope to survive.<br /><br />South Africa players, including Rabada reacted with frustration at such an excellent chance to claim Pope's wicket had passed but thankfully for Erwee, his mistake did not prove costly.<br /><br />Pope only added six to his score before being bowled by Rabada having played a ball back onto leg stump.<br /><br />After a rain hit first day, England had resumed on 116-6 but slumped to 165 all out in a morning that left South Africa in control of the Lord's Test.<br /><br />The tourists then reached 27 without loss heading into lunch.
