| Temba Bavuma | 5 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 100 |
|
1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Bavuma gifts away his wicket playing a cheaky shot. A short ball outside off, Bavuma moves inside and looks to play the paddle scoop over the keeper but he instead edges it behind. An easy chance for Buttler behind the wickets. Curran and England are off to a perfect start. Not so for South Africa. 6/1

| Quinton de Kock C Wk | 30 | 23 | 2 | 1 | 130.43 |
|
9.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Finally a wicket and the skipper departs after looking good! The good-looking partnership is broken and England needed that. Good length ball outside off, de Kock looks to go over cover but it hits the top half of the bat and goes towards Morgan at cover. He makes no mistake and de Kock goes. 83/2
|

| Faf du Plessis | 58 | 40 | 4 | 2 | 145 |
|
13.4 OUT! CAUGHT! End of a good innings from Faf du Plessis! This is a big wicket for England as du Plessis can be very dangerous in the end overs and this might make a difference to the final score. Sam Curran returns and strikes. Short ball on middle, du Plessis looks to pull but it takes the top edge and it goes towards deep mid-wicket. Jordan settles himself under it and takes a simple catch. 110/3

| Rassie van der Dussen | 37 | 28 | 0 | 3 | 132.14 |
|
18.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Rassie van der Dussen will be gutted with himself. This was a juicy full toss and he would have backed himself to hit that out of the park. Full toss on the pads, van der Dussen heaves it but straight to Malan at deep square leg. He makes no mistake. 161/5

| Heinrich Klaasen | 20 | 12 | 2 | 0 | 166.66 |
|
17 OUT! CAUGHT! Sam Curran does the trick again. He is a very clever bowler and gets the breakthrough at the right time for England. Short ball outside off, Klaasen looks to pull but it takes the top edge and goes to Buttler who pouches this one easily. Can England restrict South Africa to below 180? 147/4

| George Linde | 12 | 6 | 1 | 1 | 200 |
|
20 OUT! TIMBER! Good comeback from Curran but he has taken a pounding! Curran bowls a slower yorker on off, Linde looks to heave but misses and the ball goes onto hit the stumps. South Africa end on 179 for 6. 179/6

|
0.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Linde gets the wicket on the second ball. Little short and around off, turns away and bounces extra as Roy looks to cut. He ends up getting a tickle behind and de Kock gobbles it nicely. Perfect start for South Africa. Just the 2 balls needed for the debutant to strike. 0/1

| Jos Buttler Wk | 7 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 116.66 |
|
4.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Buttler now departs! Two big wickets now back in the hut. First Roy and now Buttler. Jos knew that he was a goner the moment he hit that. Ngidi strikes in his first over. Good length ball outside off, Buttler looks to go big on the off side but the ball takes the top edge and goes towards cover. Heinrich Klaasen settles himself under it and takes the catch. 153 needed in 95 balls. 27/2

| Dawid Malan | 19 | 20 | 3 | 0 | 95 |
|
5.3 OUT! CAUGHT! George Linde strikes again and it is Dawid Malan who has to walk back now. England in all sorts of bother now. They need a partnership but they are just throwing their wickets away. Flighted ball on middle, Malan goes on his knees and then looks to sweep but it lobs towards square leg where Ngidi dives forward to take a very good catch. 146 needed in 87 balls. 34/3

| Ben Stokes | 37 | 27 | 1 | 3 | 137.03 |
|
14.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Stokes can barely believe what he has done. It was a hit me delivery from Shamsi but Stokes has hit it straight to the fielder. Short ball on off, Stokes looks to pull but does not time it well and it goes straight into the hands of Linde at long on. 61 needed in 35 balls. 119/4

| Eoin Morgan C | 12 | 10 | 0 | 1 | 120 |
|
17.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Is there still life in this game? Ngidi has been the best bowler on show for South Africa and he has given another lifeline to South Africa. Morgan is disappointed as he walks back. Short ball on middle, Morgan looks to pull but has got it nowhere off the middle of the bat. It goes towards Bavuma at deep mid-wicket who takes a good catch. 21 needed in 15 balls. 159/5
