The Poms were the favourites even though they were playing the Proteas at home.<\/p>\n<p>However, they were completely outplayed in all departments of the game and South Africa cruised to victory to take a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>England has one of the most powerful batting line-ups in ODI cricket but they struggled to get going against South Africa. Their openers <strong>Jason Roy<\/strong> (32) and <strong>Jonny Bairstow<\/strong> (19) got off to starts but were unable to capitalise and make a big score. The loss of <strong>Joe Root<\/strong> via a run out did not help England and they looked to be in deep trouble at 5 for 108.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sky Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/diSX3MXmGIU\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe Denly<\/strong> put his head down and held the middle order together making 87 from 103 balls.

The absence of Ben Stokes hurt England as Stokes has bailed the team out over and over again in all formats of the game. <\/p>\n<p>The pick of the bowlers for South Africa was the spinner <strong>Tabraiz Shamsi<\/strong> who finished his 10 overs and conceded just 38 and picked up 3 wickets.<\/p>\n<h2>Quinton de Kock Hits Century<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/quinnydekock69\">Quinton de Kock<\/a><\/strong> is captaining South Africa during this ODI series and by the look of things he might continue with the captaincy. The wicket-keeper batsman led from the front and quickly took charge of the innings. The South African captain played freely and put pressure on the England bowling line-up as he formed a 150 plus partnership with <strong>Temba Bavuma<\/strong> who came in at 3.<\/p>\n<p>De Kock made 107 of just 113 balls while T Bavuma made 98 of 103 balls to help South Africa get into a commanding position. <strong>H van der Dussen<\/strong> (38) completed the formalities with <strong>JJ Smuts<\/strong> as South Africa cruised to victory in 47.4 overs.
