SA 37-0 (3 ovs) vs Eng |  Scorecard

David Willey opened the bowling for England as South Africa opted to open with Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock with AB de Villiers slotted in at No. 4.

A tidy start from the left-arm pacer as the two batsmen pick a single each from the opening over of the game.

Another left-arm pacer from the other end. But Reece Topley is hit for runs in his very first over. De Kock slashes the first ball over the off-side for a six and follows it up with two more boundaries as Topley goes for 15 runs in his first over. Amla survived a huge appeal for leg before wicket in that over as he looked to whip the last ball through the leg side and failed to make contact but the umpire ruled in his favour.

De Kock takes Willey apart in his second over. He gives the pacer the charge and lofts him down the ground for a straight six followed by back to back boundaries. The left-hander ended the over with another huge six over the off-side to get 20 runs as South Africa raced to 37 for no loss in three overs with de Kock smashing 36 from 15 balls and Amla on one.
