SA 14-0 (2 Ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Reeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock stride out to open the innings for South Africa.

Reece Topley has the new ball in his hand, and he starts with a dot ball! A tight line and length from the English pacer troubles the opener. Hendricks flicks towards point for a couple after 4 dot balls.

That's all South Africa manage in the opening over. The pressure is on for the Proteas to break free early.

Moeen Ali starts from the other end. De Kock blocks the first delivery but gets off the mark with a single on the next ball. Hendricks pushes one towards midwicket and takes a single. De Kock pushes the fourth ball towards covers but doesn't score. Coming down the track, he slams the fifth ball for a boundary. He goes big again on the last ball, hitting a maximum!

12 runs came off the over, and after 2 overs, South Africa are 14-0.
