SA vs ENG Live Cricket Score

9.2 OUT! Caught! Roy holes out and the debutant Smuts has taken a big wicket as his debut wicket. It is the dangerous Jason Roy who makes his way back. Smuts smartly takes the pace off the ball and bowls it slower through the air on middle, Roy looks to take on the spinner and looks to go downtown over long on. He gets beaten by the slowness of the ball and manages to just hit it high and to the left of long on. Reeza Hendricks there moves to that side and takes an easy catch. Roy knew he was a goner as soon as he mistimed that. South Africa have managed to get the first wicket inside Powerplay 1! 51/1

10.2 OUT! Caught! A very good catch by the second debutant, Lutho Sipamla. Both the openers are back in the hut for the tourists and England are in a bit of bother here. Wickets in quick succession for South Africa. Phehlukwayo bowls it slightly fuller around off, Bairstow looks to drive it through covers but the ball sticks a bit and takes the inner half of Jonny's bat. It goes towards mid off. Sipamla there dives in front and takes a good catch just above the turf. The Proteas after being under the pump are taking over the charge here. 53/2

15.3 OUT! Run Out! Outstanding effort from Rassie van der Dussen. The last thing England would have wanted was a run out of their key batter and that is what has happened here. Yes, no, a bit of confusion. Enough of it to see the back of Joe Root. Tossed up delivery on middle, Morgan sweeps it to the right of backward square leg. Root comes out for a single, Morgan initially says yes but when he sees that van der Dussen there has saved it with a dive, he sends him back. Root is halfway down and he then has to turn his car. He tries to go back in and puts in a dive but van der Dussen scores bull's eye at the other end. Third umpire is called for and replay shows Root's dive is not enough and he has to make the long way back. 83/3

16 OUT! Caught! Brilliant catch from Temba Bavuma. England fall in a deeper hole as their skipper too is back in the pavilion. Slightly shorter delivery around off, the ball turns away sharply towards the end. Morgan looks to run it down on the off side but the ball bounces as well and the turn it induces is enough to take the outside edge of Morgan's willow. The ball goes to the left of the man at slip. It looks like it will fall away but Bavuma puts in a dive and takes a brilliant catch to see the back of the English skipper. South Africa are stopping the run flow here and they are doing it in the best fashion, that is picking up wickets. Morgan had to stay there especially after Root's run out but he follows his deputy back in the hut. 83/4

49.2 OUT! Caught! The slower one does the trick and Denly can't bat the last 5 balls. End of a superb innings from Denly. It is because of him that his side is still in this game. They were in a muddle but he has been their dark knight today. Slower ball on off, Denly looks to go over long on but miscues it because of the lack of pace in it. He is through in his shot and the ball goes high in the air straight to long on. Reeza Hendricks there takes the skier well. Denly walks off to an ovation from the crowd and he deserves every bit of it. 254/8

21.5 OUT! LBW! There is no bat involved and the impact is umpire's call. England don't lose their review but they lose Banton. Things going from bad to worse for England and they are in huge trouble as half their side is already back in the hut. Tossed up around off, Banton looks to sweep it with the spin. He misses it and the ball hits him on the pads. There is a huge appeal from the South Africans and the umpire raises his finger. Banton has a chat with his partner and after a brief chat he signals the 'T'. Replay rolls in and Ultra Edge shows that there is no bat involved. Time for the Ball Tracker. It shows that the ball is pitched in line, the impact is umpire's call. Not enough to overturn the decision. Later it shows the ball hitting the stumps. Banton cannot make a huge impact on his ODI debut and South Africa are all over the world champions. 108/5

27.5 OUT! Bowled 'em! Right around his legs. Another one bites the dust. Curran will not look at this fondly, no batsman likes to get bowled around his legs and that is how Curran has gone out. Shamsi's superb day continues. Flighted on leg, Sam looks to sweep but misses and the ball goes onto dislodge the leg pole. Just when it looked like the pair of Denly and Sam Curran was steadying the ship, Shamsi has come on and ended all those hopes with his wizardry. He is up and running and why won't he be. 131/6

44.1 OUT! Caught! Woakes' innings comes to an end. Sipamla gets his maiden ODI wicket, he is up in joy and his mom at the stand is ecstatic. Full on middle and off, Woakes makes a bit of room and tries to go over mid off. He cannot get under the ball and fails to elevate as much as he would have wanted. The ball goes to the right of mid off. Miller, one of the best fielders. Moves to that side and takes a good catch with a slide. The man playing his 1st ODI gets his debut wicket in the form of Woakes who is playing his 100th ODI. End of a very good knock from Woakes. He came in at the time when his side was in trouble but he built a very good stand with Denly and has taken them out of troubled waters. He though will be disappointed not to bat till the end. 222/7

35.1 OUT! Bowled! Root gets rid of the South African skipper. But what a knock this has been from de Kock. End of a superb knock from de Kock. He walks off to a standing ovation and the skipper raises his bat to appreciate it. Floated on middle, de Kock looks to play the big slog sweep but unfortunately for him and all the home fans, he misses. Root does not and the ball goes onto disturb the stumps. Can the world champions make a comeback or is it too late for that now? 198/2

7 OUT! Caught! Woakes strikes in his 100th ODI. He is a smart cricketer and this ball is a testament to that. Cross-seam ball outside off, it is not the best of deliveries. He tempts Reeza to go for a slash, he falls in the trap and goes for it. The ball bounces a bit high and kisses the outside edge of Hendrick's bat. It goes straight to Jonny Bairstow behind the stumps. He is not going to drop those. 234 needed in 258 now. 25/1

42.4 OUT! LBW! Such an anti-climatic end to Temba Bavuma's superb innings. He has to walk out 2 short of what would have been a terrific century. Heartbreak and disappointment for him and for a moment the whole crowd goes very silent. This is a very good ball from Chris Jordan. Very full and very pacy. It is on middle and leg, Bavuma looks to defend but gets beaten by the sheer pace of it. The ball hits his pad and he goes down on the turf. Bavuma refers it upstairs in a desperate hope of survival. Replay rolls in and Ultra Edge shows that there is no bat involved. Time for the Ball Tracker and it shows three reds. No luck for Temba and he has to walk back. End of a terrific knock from him. Deserved a hundred but he will not get it. Can England manage to make a comeback in this game and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? Looks a bit late but one can never be sure in cricket. 234/3
