South Africa vs England

Thick leading-edge as Olly Stone flicks and Shamsi fumbles to his right the first time but hangs on the 2nd time and he runs away before Bavuma comes to mob him. The game was going in just one direction, so to pull it back and win the game is really special. They have come back from the dead to win this. The bouncer was two-paced, some stood up, some didn't, so it was a good ball to have. We need the win, we need the points, but it's also about how to go about our business. The way SA started, to keep them to 298, we were really happy. Credit to South Africa, they did well but we could have put them under a bit more pressure. To be in a position like we were after that opening stand, it's disappointing not to finish it off. We're trying to shift our mindset from the result and more about how we want to play our game. England will be raring to bounce back harder in the other two games. An action-packed start to the series and if this is a sample of things to come, we should be in for a thrilling series. Their start was similar to ours, ball came on nicely in the start but they had one guy batting long, which we didn't.

[Jofra Archer](/people/jofra-archer/) made his long-awaited comeback from injury to feature in the first ODI, picking up one wicket from an expensive 10 overs that cost 81 runs, and having only returned to action, England may decide against playing him for the second time in three days. [Jos Buttler](/people/jos-buttler/) was the only other England player to score over 30, and the middle to lower order will need to come to the fore if the tourists are to level the series on Sunday. [England](/football/england/) will look to level the series when they face [South Africa](/football/south-africa/) on Sunday.

He hit 11 fours and four sixes. BLOEMFONTEIN - Fast bowlers Sisanda Magala, Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada earned South Africa a dramatic 27-run win in the first one-day international against England at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein on Friday. Bowlers Sisanda Magala, Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada earned SA a dramatic 27-run win in the first one-day international against England in Bloemfontein on Friday.

A five-over spell is at least one more than I expected him to start with, but he looks in great shape. Ugly figures – 0-41 – but he bowled solidly, ...

He still has a lot of credit in the bank but it is 14 international innings since his last fifty while he has averaged 12.5 this month in the SA20. He starts at 87mph in the channel and Bavuma gets off the mark with a thick edge down to third man. We have to wait an over at least to see Archer, with David Willey takng the first. Willey's last ball is loose, short and wide and De Kock cracks a cut through Roy at point for four. Archer is given a fifth over and keeps his pace up in the high eighties. Archer pitches the next ball up and kicks the ground in exasperation when De Kock nails a straight drive for four. Curran has been grunting with the exertion of banging the ball in but it all pays off when he gets one to climb over De Kock's helmet and sucker him into a hook. Van der Dussen tries to heave one over midwicket but didn't pick that it was the googly and drags it off the inside edge. De Kock c Buttler b Curran 37 Bags him with the last ball of the over. He plays a more orthodox drive to the next off-break, pushing it for a single. He had more room to pull the previous delivery for two but that's Curran's skill, subtlety and guile there, giving him a seemingly similar opportunity but a little less room. But when Curran tries it again, it doesn't have as much propulsion off the pitch and Markram fetches it at shoulder height, rolling his wrists to swat it through midwicket for four.
