    It is a slight concern that Adil Rashid still isn't out there. We saw Dawid Malan out in the warm-up bowling some leg spin.

  2. SA 12-1

    Reeza Hendricks faces 13 balls without scoring, before he is offered something slightly fuller and wider from the final ball of David Willey's second over.

    The South Africa opener drives square of the wicket beyond point to the boundary for four.

  3. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    We've had news that Adil Rashid is having a comfort break. It must be a lengthy one.

  4. SA 7-1

    Reece Topley is a tall and imposing figure. There's more than a hint of Angus Fraser in his bowling style.

    Reeza Hendricks is hit on the pad by the penultimate ball of his second over, but the appeals are only half-hearted. It was swinging down leg.

    This is, of course, David Willey’s 50-over World Cup debut after he was dropped on the eve of the last tournament for Jofra Archer.

    Not bad to start with a maiden.

  6. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Liam Livingstone is out on the field, but he is not in the 11. There is no Adil Rashid out there. It is very odd.

  7. SA 5-1

    David Willey finds some nip off the pitch with his fourth ball which jags away from the bat of Reeza Hendricks. England will hope they can nab another wicket while the ball is still doing a little bit.

    Willey starts with a maiden.

  8. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Wickets are so important for England here, to get one of the top order batters inside two balls is a great start.

  9. SA 5-1

    Rassie van der Dussen the new batter for South Africa.

    David Willey, recalled to the team, takes the left-arm seam baton from Reece Topley.

  10. Steven Finn
    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    Topley had his hands on his head after the first ball. The second ball is a touch fuller, it is a little bit floaty and De Kock's eyes light up. Buttler poaches the catch.

    What a start, absolute drama.

    WICKET

    De Kock c Buttler b Topley 4 (SA 4-1)

    A dream start for England! UltraEdge shows there is definitely some bat it.

    The on-field umpire perhaps thought Quinton de Kock had hit the ground rather than the ball.

    Credit to Reece Topley to persist with the same length having seen the previous delivery disappear through the covers in such emphatic fashion.

    It was a huge waft by De Kock, and there was a hint of swing for Topley. Bread and butter catch for Jos Buttler. He's been in great form at the start of the tournament so that's a big fish for England to catch early on.

  13. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    There's a huge spike, but is it the ground or the bat? What a horrible decision for the third umpire to make.

  14. England review

    Quinton de Kock pummels Reece Topley's first ball through the covers for four.

    He attempts to repeat the trick to the left-arm seamer's second delivery and there's a noise.

    England appeal. Given not out on the field. But Jos Buttler has heard something.

  15. Firdose Moonda
    Cricinfo writer on BBC Test Match Special

    Quinton de Kock is benefitting from being unburdened, he's going to retire from ODIs after this. He just wants to play T20 cricket and fish in the lagoon and that is all he wants to do.

  16. Left-arm seamer Reece Topley is at the top of his mark. Quinton de Kock is on strike for South Africa.

    Play.

    Let's hope today's game lives up to the billing. This is a huge game, this by no stretch means whoever loses is out, but if England lose here they have an almighty task on their hands.

  18. Beads of sweat drip down the foreheads of England's players as they sing the national anthem at the Wankhede Stadium.

    It's about 35c in the ground on Marine Drive in Mumbai, just up the road from the Gateway of India.

  19. 'Motivated by Netherlands defeat'

    South Africa stand-in captain Aiden Markram: "Tembs has pulled up ill, he's tried to pull through. We will miss him today. It is very unfortunate how it has happened but it is a big opportunity for Reeza (Hendricks) today."

    "We are happy batting first, it looks like a good wicket and it is generally a good batting wicket."

    The Netherlands defeat: "It motivates you quite a bit, we weren't at our standards and that is how we measure ourselves. If we reach those standards, it will give every opportunity."

    I’m not sure what to make of England’s changes. They are four games into this World Cup and have picked every player in their squad.

    They’ve gone from having lots of all-rounders to none.

    David Willey looks worryingly high at number seven, although he was hitting it miles in the nets yesterday.
