    De Kock 38, Bavuma 23

    Hello!

    First six of the match as Quinton de Kock picks it up early and flicks the ball powerfully over deep mid-wicket.

    And that's time for drinks.

    Max Headroom: Pathetic from England. Bowlers are dominating and then Root comes along and hands them the game. Poor decisions... Why play Rashid if you’re going to bowl Root?

    Jack Allum: This experiment with Root will not work by the looks of it. We’ve got proper spinners in the team. Give them a go...

  3. SA 68-1published at 16 overs

    I don't think bowling Joe Root is the right call here - it's allowing South Africa fairly easy runs from one end while Chris Jordan keeps it tight at the other.

    Quinton de Kock picks up a dragged back delivery early to scythe it sweetly through third man for four.

    That's eight from the over.

  4. SA 60-1published at 15 overs

    Chris Jordan has continued the fine work of the opening pace bowlers, bowling at good pace and with tight lines and lengths.

    Just one from his third over.

    The commentary box at the Wanderers has to be one of the highest in world cricket.

    Hmm. Joe Root will bowl bad balls - he over-pitches here and Temba Bavuma caresses it through the covers for four.

    De Kock 23, Bavuma 14

    Chris Jordan puts his hands to his head as Quinton de Kock taps one off his pads. Would've been plumb if he'd missed it.

    Miserly again from Jordan - just three from the over.

    Root drags it back and De Kock doesn't miss those, cutting away through point for four.

  11. SA 44-1published at 11.4 overs

    Quinton de Kock has nicked Joe Root for four.

    Where was the slip?!

    England do now turn to Joe Root, who bowled Quinton de Kock cheaply in the abandoned second ODI and also bowled him (for 107 granted) in the first ODI.

    The ball literally grazed the bail for Mahmood's maiden ODI wicket...

    Fine first over from Chris Jordan.

    Temba Bavuma scrambles a quick single to rotate the strike and Jason Roy's throw missed the stumps. Quinton de Kock could've been in trouble with a direct hit there.

    And England continue with pace.

    Chris Jordan replaces Tom Curran.

    Change of tactics for England today. No Root in the powerplay, like they did at Cape Town and Durban. Why would you, when your pace bowlers have started impressively and there's that extra bounce in the pitch?

  17. SA 36-1published at 10 overs

    Saqib Mahmood continues to impress but sees the final ball of his fifth over punched back past him down the ground for four by Temba Bavuma.

    Lovely shot.

    But England will be very happy with those first 10 overs.

    Dan Lawrence loves pressure. He eats it for breakfast.

  20. SA 30-1published at 9 overs

    Tom Curran errs with a leg side wide and then strays onto leg stump again - Temba Bavuma isn't missing that and clips it crisply through mid-wicket for four to get off the mark.
