LONDON (AP) This time, Kagiso Rabada was keeping quiet.

There were no wild celebrations from the South Africa fast bowler after he trapped Ben Stokes lbw on Day 4 of the first test against England on Sunday.

Instead, Rabada put a finger to his lips and watched Stokes walk past him on his way back to the pavilion at Lord’s.

Rabada’s reaction came after he was banned for the second test between the countries, at Trent Bridge starting Friday, for swearing at Stokes after dismissing the allrounder on Thursday in the first innings. The verbal abuse was picked up over the stump microphones.
