Live Cricket Score of South Africa vs England, 2nd T20I at Johannesburg - Live Blog

Chris Morris was once again the hero for South Africa in their thrilling victory in the 1st Twenty20 International as England's bowling attack came so close to defending 134. Batsmen from both sides would be looking to get more runs this time in the final match of this long tour. With the World T20 set to be played next month, the winner will have momentum in their side going into the tournament.

Faf du Plessis wants South Africa to chase again as they have found success recently with this formula. Morgan wanted to bowl first as well but he will have to ask his boys to put some runs on the board now. England make a change as Sam Billings comes on for David Willey. So they are strengthening their batting after the failure last game. South Africa are unchanged.

Playing XI:

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

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

England won't be feeling comfortable going into the World T20 with an out of form opener as Jason Roy is dismissed for a 15-ball 9 by Kagiso Rabada. A full length delivery sends the off stump rolling away. South Africa are in early control as Joe Root joins Alex Hales in the middle.

Joe Root came out all guns blazing and quickly reached 23 off just 8 deliveries but was soon dismissed for 34. And now England have lost Alex Hales to a runout and that was absolutely needless. Eoin Morgan will take the blame for that. Can he make amends with the bat?
