ENGLAND VS SOUTH AFRICA - 1st ODI
ENG Inngs
Maharaj to Sonny Baker, out Bowled!! All over! Sonny Baker out for a first ball duck on debut. Kesh Mahjaraj with another impressive performance, ends with 4/22. A slow length ball onto the stumps, straightens after pitching and sneaks between bat and pad as Baker was in no position to defend it properly. Thuds onto the stumps and ends a sorry batting performance for England. All out for 131 runs! Sonny Baker b Maharaj 0(1)
Maharaj to Adil Rashid, out Lbw!! That's number 9 down for England. A lovely arm ball from Keshav Maharaj, the batter just didn't read it. He played for the turn and the ball sneaks past the inside edge and onto the front pad. Struck in front of middle and would have crashed onto the top of off as per ball tracking. Rashid is out and the review is lost as well!! Adil Rashid lbw b Maharaj 9(14) [4s-1]
Mulder to Jofra Archer, out Caught by Markram!! Out first ball! Classic channel bowling from Wiaan Mulder - nice Test match line and length. Keeps it outside off and catches the outer edge off the bat shoulder and to the left of Markram at first slip who gets low to complete a solid catch. Jofra Archer c Markram b Mulder 0(1)
Mulder to Buttler, out Caught by Rickelton!! The wickets keep tumbling for the hosts, and this time it is the last proper batter in Buttler. Mulder jumps up and punches the air in delight. A lovely length ball by Mulder outside off, Buttler shuffles in to play at it and the ball nips in slightly. Takes a faint inside edge and gobbled up by the keeper. Buttler c Rickelton b Mulder 15(24) [6s-1]
Maharaj to Will Jacks, out Caught&Bowled!! Two in two overs for Kesh! A fuller delivery angling onto the pads, Jacks pushes it down the ground and Maharaj moves to his right and accepts the return catch. England in a bit of trouble here. Will Jacks c and b Maharaj 7(7) [4s-1]
Maharaj to Jacob Bethell, out Caught by Markram!! Another one and it is Keshav Maharaj who keeps his form going. A fuller delivery outside off and stays straight outside off. Bethell slashes at it and it catches the edge. Goes quickly towards Markram at first slip who takes a sharp catch. England have lost half their side now! Jacob Bethell c Markram b Maharaj 1(2)
Mulder to Jamie Smith, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! Holes out! A lovely change of pace delivery from Mulder. On a length and was the cutter. Smith early on the big swipe across the line and hits it in the air. Superb catch from Bosch at fine leg who dives to his left and grabs it with both hands. Jamie Smith c Corbin Bosch b Mulder 54(48) [4s-10]
Mulder to Jamie Smith, out Brook Run Out!! 1 run completed Needless run out! on a length and wider, Smith shimmies forward and chips it to the right of extra cover for a single. Brook was keen on a second and was halfway down before he was sent back. The throw comes in from the deep and catches Brook well short of his crease despite a desperate dive to get back. South Africa get a wicket out of nowhere just as a partnership was building. Brook run out (Stubbs/Rickelton) 12(18) [4s-2]
Ngidi to Root, out Caught by Rickelton!! superb delivery from Ngidi gets rid of an in-form Joe Root!! Pitched slightly fuller than a good length, shapes away after pitching and takes the edge as Root tried to nurdle it away. Lovely catch by Rickelton diving low to his right. As he thuds onto the ground the ball lobs out, but Rickelton was quick to gobble it up once again before the ball hit the ground. A one-handed grab to send back the English batter! Root c Rickelton b Ngidi 14(17) [4s-3]
Nandre Burger to Duckett, out Caught by Rickelton!! Early wicket for England! A fuller delivery on fourth stump, shapes away late once again and kisses the outside edge as Duckett had a little push at it. Taken easily by the keeper. Duckett c Rickelton b Nandre Burger 5(8) [4s-1]

Adil Rashid to Stubbs, out Bowled!! Two in two and something to cheer for England and Adil Rashid. A tossed up googly, Stubbs gets forward and misses the reverse-sweep, hits the middle-stump and no real celebrations from England. Hat-trick ball for Rashid coming up. Another South African batter goes in trying to finish it off with one blow. Stubbs b Adil Rashid 0(1)
Adil Rashid to Bavuma, out Caught by Will Jacks!! Caught at wide mid-off. It's tossed up full on middle, Bavuma wants to end this with a boundary, gets forward to loft, loses his bottom-hand and it lobs towards extra-cover. Jacks moves to his left and takes a simple catch. Bavuma falls with the scores level. Bavuma c Will Jacks b Adil Rashid 6(9)
Adil Rashid to Markram, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! What a catch at cover-point. Jamie Smith without the gloves has pulled off a one-handed blinder. Or has he? They are checking if he has turfed it as he tumbled over. The third ump has a look and is convinced that Smith has not grassed it. It's tossed up slower and fuller on middle, Markram makes room to drive aerially, it's flying away to Smith's right and he dives with an outstretched right hand. The ball sticks and despite it being close to the turf when Smith tumbled over, it's a clean catch. Splendid take as Smith was horizontal to the ground when he took it. At full-stretch too. Markram c Jamie Smith b Adil Rashid 86(55) [4s-13 6s-2]
