CricViz analystHarry Brook has taken 94% of his catching opportunities in T20I, with 31 catches to only two drops.
SA 38-3published at 4 overs
Superb stop by Harry Brook.
Donovan Ferreira is the new batter and he looks to strike a four past point.
The England skipper is out there and he cuts off a boundary with a one-handed collection while diving full-length.

Markram c Wood b Rashid 28 (SA 37-3)
Horrible ball, gets the wicket.
Adil Rashid's fourth ball is a dragdown and Aiden Markram looks to smash it over the leg side.
He doesn't make clean contact and spoons the ball in the air, with Luke Wood takes a catch just outside the fielding ring at mid-wicket.
SA 34-2published at 3 overs
Dewald Brevis, the most expensive player in the SA20 auction, comes in at four.
The 22-year-old takes a single into the covers - that's Luke Wood done for the night, with bowlers only getting two overs.

Pretorius c Brook b Wood 2 (SA 33-2)
The youngster can't get going tonight.
Lhuan-dré Pretorius tries to hit into the leg side and is snaffled by Harry Brook, who takes an excellent diving catch to remove the 19-year-old.

Media caption, 'That was a shocker!' - Salt drops Markram on 24 in first T20
Six, four, dropped!
Aiden Markram smashes Luke Wood's first ball down the ground and over the ropes, then chips over mid-on.
His next shot should be caught by Phil Salt at mid-wicket, with the England fielder under the ball as it comes but spilling the chance.
South Africa take two runs.

Image source, ReutersOut on control, back in control.
Aiden Markram skews a ball in the air behind mid-on with a leading edge and Harry Brook can't get under it to take the catch.
He smashes the following delivery from Overton down the ground for the first six of the innings.
SA 9-1published at 1.2 overs
Jamie Overton takes the second over for England.
He smacks Aiden Markram on the boot with a yorker - the ball is heading down the leg side though, so no chance of an lbw.
The South Africa skipper takes a hobbled single.
