Live Cricket Score of South Africa vs England, 1st T20I at Cape Town - As it happened

While England won the Test series, South Africa came back dramatically to win the ODI series after going down 2-0 initially. We have now reached the final leg of the tour and probably the most important one considering the T20 World Cup is all set to be staged next month. Both sides will look to fine tune themselves ahead of the mega tournament. AB de Villiers will continue to open the batting which can have a huge say in the game. Where will England play Moeen Ali after slotting him at number 7 in the ODIs. Will he get a promotion? We will know the answers shortly.

Big news coming out of Cape Town is that Quinton de Kock won't be playing today. The young left-handed was in fine form in the ODI series but the Proteas are not taking any chances since he has a slight niggle. AB de Villiers will keep wickets today. England have named a full strength side as well.

Playing XI:

South Africa: Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers (WK), Faf du Plessis (C), JP Duminy, Rilee Rossouw, David Miller, David Wiese, Chris Morris, Kyle Abbott, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Thair

England: Alex Hales, Jason Roy, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (C), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler (WK), Moeen Ali, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, David Willey, Reece Topley

England openers began with a bang but Kagiso Rabada has made the important breakthrough by getting rid of Jason Roy for 15. Joe Root is out in the middle and Alex Hales is yet again looking good for a big score.
