  1. England have done pretty well in one-day cricket of late not just settling for ones and twos and continuing to attack...

  2. Get Involved

    Steve Davies: Why is it when England have a team by the throat they then proceed to let them back in? One of Bairstow or Roy should have stuck it out.

    James Gulleford: Absolutely brainless and stupid from England’s openers! Got the team well ahead of the rate, then both gift their wickets and the opposition are back in the game! What’s wrong with ones and twos?!!!

  3. Eng 76-2

    Target 257

    Temba Bavuma makes a fine tumbling stop at point to prevent a run.

    Morgan off the mark with what looked like a push for a single, but the outfield here is so quick it just zips away from Smuts at mid-on.

  5. Eng 73-2

    Eoin Morgan off the mark with a whip through mid-wicket for four. JJ Smuts perhaps should've done better.

  6. Tim Peach
    BBC Radio 5 Live in Johannesburg

    The Bullring quietened down a lot as Roy and Bairstow were smashing it about, but those two wickets have got the fans in pink up and dancing again.

    WICKET

    Roy c Ngidi b Hendrick 21 (Eng 69-2)

    Ah.

    Change of pace from Beuran Hendricks, pushing it across Jason Roy and the England opener tries to fetch it from a long way outside off to access the leg side.

    He misjudges the speed and splices it high off the top edge, with Lungi Ngidi taking the catch at short fine leg.

    Roy will watch that back and wish he'd cut or ramped that instead of taking on the hook. South Africa back in it now.

  8. 6 runs

    Eng 69-1

    Oh you bet Jason Roy can put more pressure on.

    A lofted drive over long on for six.

    Jon Ferguson: Sorry all...

  10. Eng 63-1

    Target 257

    Joe Root gets off the mark with a quick single. He'll look to be busy and keep ticking along at about a run a ball.

    Can Jason Roy go up a gear to put even more pressure on South Africa?

  11. wicket

    WICKET

    Bairstow c Phehlukwayo b Sipamla 43 (Eng 61-1)

    The show's over.

    Jonny Bairstow makes his first real miscue as he aims down the ground but skews the ball off a thick inside edge to Andile Phehlukwayo at mid-wicket.

    South Africa overjoyed and probably not a little relieved the carnage is over.

    Still, Bairstow has got England off to a flying start with 43 off 23 balls.

    Jon Ferguson: For years to come England cricket fans will look back on just how good we had it with Roy and Bairstow opening together in ODIs. Always feel so confident they’ll build a platform.

  13. 6 runs

    Eng 61-0

    Jason Roy has had enough of Jonny Bairstow having all the fun.

    A mighty blow down the ground for six.

  14. Bairstow is so powerful he's stopped the rain here in Salford.

  15. Get Involved

    #bbccricket

    Joe: Jonny Bairstow knocking it around for fun is the perfect way to ride out a storm

  16. Eng 54-0

    Jonny Bairstow could have 100 before Jason Roy gets to 20 here.

    A beautiful lofted drive down the ground for four now.

  17. Eng 50-0

    This is brutal from Jonny Bairstow.

    It's so dimissive - just slightly short from Beuran Hendricks, YJB is set and pulls it into the stands over mid-wicket.

    The home fans at the Wanderers have gone silent.

  18. Eng 43-0

    And that's exactly what Quinton de Kock was looking for.

    Sipmala concedes just one from his opening over.

  19. Lungi Ngidi is unsurprisingly taken out of the attack after conceding 29 in two overs.

    Lutho Sipamla is on.

    There are danger signs already for South Africa. England getting off to a flier will make it much harder for the spinners to control the game later on a pitch that's offered turn
