Inn Break
So that is it from the first game! The tournament favorites are the ones who came out on top. Now we have two different teams playing on the 31st of May. It is a clash between Pakistan and West Indies in Nottingham at 1030 local (0930 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
England skipper, Eoin Morgan, says he is delighted to be up and running in the tournament and a performance like that is more satisfying. Mentions the wicket did not allow them to execute their plan A which is scoring a big total but they showed great maturity, played smart cricket and they got to a total which he felt was competitive and above par. Credits Stokes for the way he played in every department and says he is the difference maker. Tells the bowling unit got off to a great start, they understood what would work on this wicket and executed the plans perfectly. Appreciates the way Archer bowled and he feels he is improving everyday. Ends by saying he is extremely pleased with how they fielded and that is one area they are always working out on.
South African skipper, Faf du Plessis, says that England were better in all three departments today and they got good partnerships out in the middle. Further adds that England got off to a good start with the ball and credits Jofra Archer for the way they bowled. Faf says he thought 300 was a par score but the wicket was slower than it usually is. Further adds that he was at one time expecting to chase around 340 with the way England were batting but credits his bowlers for the way they came back. Stresses that they bowled well and tells England are a strong batting side. On Hashim Amla's injury, du Plessis says it broke their momentum as you want the openers to play the best bowlers at the start. He informs he is okay now. Admits that their bowling is the strength as they have Dale Steyn as well and admits that they do not bat till 7, 8 or 9 and informs that hence it is important for them to restrict sides under 300.
MAN OF THE MATCH, Ben Stokes, on that catch, says he was panicking as he was ahead than where he should have been. Says it would have been a regulation catch had he been in the position he had to be. On his batting performance, he says it was a sticky wicket and getting to 300 was the aim. Tells that boundaries were hard to come by while batting and they knew what their bowlers had to do. On the crowd, he says the atmosphere was fantastic and further adds it got loud out in the middle. Also tells that it was a good turnout for the game.
Earlier in the day, South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl. The England batters were going great guns till the 37th over. However, once Morgan got out, they lost their way completely. Courtesy Stokes though, they got to a competitive total, their 5th successive 300-plus score in ODIs which in the end, proved to be enough by a long way.
Every bowler except for Woakes was amongst the wickets. Archer was probably the pick as he finished with the three-fer. Plunkett and Stokes too had two each. The two spinners had a wicket to their name. All-in-all, it was a good day at the office for all the bowlers.
England headed into the second innings with momentum not on their side but they did not make it feel that way. Their new-ball bowlers were exceptional with their lines and lengths. Woakes kept it nice and tight whereas, Archer bowled with pace. One of his deliveries hit Amla on the helmet due to which he had to retire hurt. He then got Faf and Markram and pushed South Africa on the back foot early on. De Kock and Rassie van der Dussen did get South Africa back into the game with both scoring half tons. But once the former was dismissed, the rest surrendered. From 129 for 2, they were bundled out for 207.
What a comprehensive win for the hosts! They have justified the tag of being favorites. It was a complete team performance from them today. Their bowlers were exceptional, their batting was decent and their fielding was at its best. A day where Morgan and co. can be very satisfied.

Ben Stokes To Imran Tahir OUT!
OUT! Catching practice! Two in two for Stokes. He did it with the bat, he was brilliant in the field and now finishes it with the ball. Length delivery on off, Tahir opens the face of the bat and guides it to widish first slip where Root takes a neat catch diving to his right. All smiles in the England camp AS THEY HAVE WON BY 104 RUNS!
Imran Tahir is the last man in!

Adil Rashid To Andile Phehlukwayo OUT!
OUT! Ho, Ho, Ho! That is some catch! My word! Ben Stokes, take a bow. Still can't believe he has taken it. For a second not even he could. Andile Phehlukwayo too trudges off in disbelief. Magnificent. Rashid tosses this up on middle, Phehlukwayo goes down and looks to play the slog sweep. He nails it towards deep mid-wicket. Ben Stokes there is standing a little too inside the ropes as it is the longer part of the ground. He moves to his left and then leaps with his right hand stretched upwards and the ball sticks! England 3 wickets away from winning the first game of the 2019 World Cup.
Drinks Break! England are way in front at the moment and a wicket here will all but seal the game here. Andile Phehlukwayo and Hashim Amla hold the key here for South Africa. Even if they don't win this they will look to get close to the total.

Jofra Archer To Rassie van der Dussen OUT!
OUT! There goes, probably, South Africa's last hope of chasing this total down. The well-set van der Dussen walks back after getting to a half ton. What an impact Archer has made. He gets his third and that too of Faf du Plessis, Markram and now Rassie van der Dussen. Once again the short ball does the trick for him. It is quick and the key here is the length. It is outside off, Rassie looks to drag his pull but only manages a top edge. It balloons towards mid on where Ali takes an easy catch.

NOT OUT! Pitching outside leg and England have lost their only review. Nicely flighted leg spinner from Rashid. It spins in to the southpaw. Phehlukwayo gets on his back foot and looks to block but misses it completely. The ball hits him on the left pad. England players put in an appeal but it is turned down by the umpire. They decide and then take it upstairs. Replay rolls in and Hawk Eye shows that the ball was pitching outside leg.
Review time! England's appeal for an LBW has been turned down. They take the review. Looks close.

Fifty for van der Dussen. He has made the most of the life he has got here. He was dropped on 6 by Buttler and has made the full use of it. He gets to his 6th ODI fifty by punching this short ball wide of cover and taking a single. The onus will be on him to take South Africa over the line.

Liam Plunkett To Rassie van der Dussen OUT!
OUT! Pretorius is well short! This is probably the last thing South Africa would have wanted. Rassie strokes this through covers. They take one and then go for the second. Stokes does brilliantly as he runs to his right and then picks it up with one hand. Fires it to Morgan who is standing ahead of the stumps. He collects it and then whips the bails off. They appeal and it has been taken upstairs. Replays show that DP is short. That second where he had to run around Plunkett probably cost him. England all over South Africa at the moment.
Have England got another? They are celebrating. They have gone upstairs to check if Dwaine Pretorius is short.

Liam Plunkett To Quinton de Kock OUT!
OUT! Big, big wicket for England. Plunkett who has been a bit expensive today has got them the big fish. Quinton de Kock is out of here. It is not the best of deliveries. It is full on the pads, de Kock looks to flick it over the fine leg fence. He does not get the desired elevation as the ball comes off the lower half of his bat. It goes to the right of Joe Root stationed at fine leg. He moves there and takes a good catch in front of him. The 85-run stand is broken and Quinton de Kock has once again failed to convert his fifty into a big one.

The ball goes off the outside edge. The fielder from short third man runs after it and dives but his effort goes in vain.

Buttler whips the bails off and appeals. The umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and they show, that de Kock's foot was lifted but he got it down in time.
Stumping appeal taken upstairs. Quinton de Kock is the man in question. He looks confident. Let's see what the replays have to say.

Couple of more wickets for them and they will be into the bowling all-rounders. For South Africa, a lot depends on the two batters batting out there. They are amidst a 42-run stand but they need to keep going.

Chris Woakes To Quinton de Kock
De Kock is finding the middle here. Another excellent drive but this is stopped, not cleanly but good enough to not concede a run by the bowler. End of a good over for South Africa. 8 from it.

Jofra Archer To Aiden Markram
Good length and outside off, Markram shoulders arms to it. Just the boundary from the over then.
Aiden Markram walks out to bat now.
The physio is out straightaway to have a mandatory check on Amla. You cannot take such chances in this day and age. Also, Morris comes out with a few helmets for Amla to have a look at. Amla is going back as he holds his head. Let's hope it is nothing serious.

Jofra Archer To Hashim Amla
On the helmet! That was quick, very quick. Bowled at 145 KPH, this bouncer keeps on rising. Amla looks to pull but is beaten for pace an gets hit on the helmet. He takes it off.

Good fielding! They need to be good in the field today. Back of a length on middle, de Kock works it towards mid-wicket. Stokes there runs to his right, dives and saves a run at least.
We are back for the chase. The umpires are out in the middle. The England players are out on the field. Out strides the opening pair of Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla for South Africa. Unlike the Proteas, England spring no surprise as Chris Woakes takes the first new ball. Quinton de Kock will take the strike.
