JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - England all-rounder Ben Stokes apologised for a foul-mouthed row with a spectator after his dismissal in Friday’s test against South Africa at The Wanderers as he faces possible sanctions while England asked for extra security for players and staff.

Stokes was shown on television exchanging insults with a middle aged man as he walked off the field after being caught cheaply for two runs in England’s first innings on the opening day of the fourth test at the Johannesburg venue, known as ‘the bullring’ for its often hostile atmosphere.
