Stokes st De Villiers b Tahir 11 (Eng 68-4)
Image source, APThis is a strange dismissal. Stokes smashes two fours off Tahir and then stabs forward at a googly, misses it and keeps moving forward, allowing De Villiers to whip off the bails and dismiss him. After a good start, England are crumbling.
Ben Stokes joins fellow new man Eoin Morgan. Both on 0. Stokes doesn't stay that way for long as he claims a single to deep mid-off. Morgan is off the mark next ball but gets lucky as his cut goes through the hands of Rilee Rossouw and skips off for four.

"The momentum has changed. There is a bit of caginess required from the two new batsmen. You cant bed in for a long time but you can't afford to lose another wicket now."
Root c Rossouw b Wiese 8 (Eng 53-3)
Image source, Getty ImagesAnother England man goes as Root slices David Wiese's first ball to Rilee Rossouw at backward point. Two wickets in four balls. The momentum has swung in the home side's favour.
England's progress checked. South Africa have claimed both openers and it is now down to Root and captain Morgan.

"Somehow miraculously Duminy has held onto the catch and nobody has got injured."
Hales c Duminy b Tahir 27 (Eng 52-2)
Image source, AFPA blow to England, but almost a disaster for South Africa. Imran Tahir comes into the attack and Hales gets well underneath one of his fuller balls to send the ball spinning up to the fine leg area. JP Duminy and Kagiso Rabada have eyes only for the ball and just manage to avoid colliding nastily, with the former claiming the catch.

"I think Rabada, even though he is only 20, is quite a cagey character and he is just going to go for yorkers more often than not which might be a good idea."
The last over of the powerplay is a good one for the home side as Rabada does the business again. He is some find for SA, especially in the absence of Dale Steyn. Root pillages a four through point off the last ball to tarnish it a bit but the bowler has still done a good job for his side in the chaos of the first six overs.

"Isn't it amazing when runs keep flowing that the fielder drops it?"
England batsman James Taylor, who has been left out of the World T20 squad, believes this team can go far.

"Not any easy one, but if you want to get rid of a player in top form, you need to take those catches. A life for Hales"
South Africa's first bowling change sees Chris Morris replace Kyle Abbott. Root clearly fancies a piece of him as he swings wildly at his first two before nudging to deep square-leg for just the one run. Back on strike, Hales - who has a shirt with his name and number on now - continues his assault by turning one away for four before being dropped by the diving JP Duminy from a pull to deep mid-wicket. How costly could that be for SA?
South Africa are undefeated (W9 D3) in their last 12 matches against England at Newlands in international cricket (6 Tests, 5 ODIs, 1 T20I) with their last loss against them coming back in January 1957.

"It was exciting while it lasted. It just got a bit close to his body and he didn’t quite time it. That is a pity from an English perspective because Roy was looking very, very good."
Out comes Joe Root, who is a more subtle player than most, but no less effective for it. He gets off the mark first ball with a push off the back foot to the off side. A good over from Rabada. One wicket and just the three runs from it. South Africa needed it.
Roy c Amla b Rabada 15
Image source, Getty ImagesSouth Africa strike back as England lose their first wicket. Roy miscues a short Rabada ball to Amla at mid-wicket and he takes the catch. This is the name of the game in T20s, either you strike or they do.
The highest score made in a Twenty20 international here at Newlands is England's 188-9 against Zimbabwe in the 2007 World Twenty20.
A certain Kevin Pietersen hit four sixes in a rapid 79 from 37 balls as England won by 50 runs.

"What a magnificent shot that is from Jason Roy."
"I think I'd have the slip out skip," adds Vic.
