1. England vs South Africa (ODI)
Phil Salt’s record-setting century propelled England to their highest ever One Day International total as they dismantled South Africa at Lord’s. Rain reduced the match to nine overs per side before Salt made his presence felt with five wickets hauls and an unbeaten 141 from only 115 balls he faced en route to an unbeaten total of just 162 runs from 90 balls faced.
Matthew Breetzke’s 85 set the tourists on course for a massive total, as the opener put on a 147-run fourth-wicket partnership with Tristan Stubbs before being trapped leg before by Jofra Archer lbw.
Jos Buttler and Harry Brook helped England inch closer to its goal with a 69-run stand before Jacks struck Burger for six and ended any hopes of record-setting chase. It gave England an unassailable 2-0 advantage in this three-match series.
2. England vs South Africa (T20I)
South Africa’s batters did well despite some poor bowling at Old Trafford on a long night, thanks to Aiden Markram’s brilliant 28 off 14 balls, while Dewald Brevis, Donovan Ferreira, Tristan Stubbs all hit double figures while providing practice catching England’s poor fielding.
Jos Buttler’s 25 off 11 was an encouraging sign for England, but they could not maintain the necessary run rate to stay alive in T20Is under Harry Brook’s white-ball coaching and suffered their largest defeat by runs ever in a T20I – they lost by 146 runs! For South Africa it marked their greatest T20I defeat ever and illustrated just how far behind they have fallen since playing their best cricketers at all times – it will take some time but hopefully soon enough they’ll make up ground again
3. England vs South Africa (T20I)
England laid down the gauntlet early and often at Old Trafford, winning by runs in T20I cricket for its biggest ever win by runs – which came thanks to Phil Salt’s record-setting night.
He smashed 141 off just 53 balls, supported well by younger batsmen taking chances and taking risks themselves. Dewald Brevis and Donovan Ferreira both hit three sixes each while Tristan Stubbs provided some catch practice at one end.
South Africa’s bowlers had a tough evening against England’s batsmen. Kagiso Rabada fell victim to Jofra Archer at mid-off before Luke Wood caught Fortuin at midwicket by Sam Curran to cap a fantastic opening spell from him. South Africa now face an uphill task against an England side who haven’t given an inch in this match; even with Aiden Markram’s excellent return to form they may need all their efforts if they hope to come away victorious from this match!
4. England vs South Africa (T20I)
England’s dismal white-ball performance continued as they were routed by South Africa at Lord’s. Although not as overwhelming, their defeat underscored just how unprepared England are for this format of the game.
Aiden Markram led off with an impressive 28 off 14 balls, but his young partners offered invaluable catching practice on this rain-sodden evening. Dewald Brevis (23 off 17 balls) and Donovan Ferreira (20 off 11) each contributed four four-ball scores as well.
Jos Buttler looked to give England hope but mistimed a pull shot, leaving himself on strike with 16 needed. A few overs later he fell victim to Lungi Ngidi’s slower ball and South Africa won by an innings-and-146-run margin; England suffered its largest run victory by runs to date in this format and are in danger of falling further behind top teams in this game format.
5. England vs South Africa (T20I)
Though England had looked more composed during this game than at Headingley, they still struggled against South Africa’s young attack led by Jofra Archer who claimed four wickets with help from spinners Jacob Bethell and Will Jacks who both delivered 10 overs each.
Aiden Markram and Dewald Brevis led South Africa’s batsmen in scoring well, helping the team amass 325-9 at this venue – their highest T20I total ever at this site and enough for South Africa to claim victory by five runs.
England began their chase poorly, with Phil Salt being caught at fine leg in their opening ball. Buttler and Brook both played some poor shots before Bethell finally received an opportunity to build an innings; he hit six fours and three sixes on his way to 50 from 24 balls but was unable to maintain this run rate as wickets continued to fall.
6. England vs South Africa (T20I)
England were defeated by South Africa at Headingley in another One-Day International (ODI), leaving little hope of an English comeback in this series. Jos Buttler and Will Jacks played hard but simply could not keep pace with such an impressive South African performance.
Even after an unfortunate start, South African middle order soon took control. Matthew Breetzke and Tristan Stubbs built on what had been established, leading the Proteas to an innings total of 330-8 with Jofra Archer providing assistance as spinner Jacob Bethell shared 10 overs – these proved costly however.
Markram edges another late-swinging shot into the night sky, this time to Luke Wood at midwicket for an excellent diving catch – England are at risk of suffering their worst run since Harry Brook took charge of their white ball team in Manchester ODIs since.
7. England vs South Africa (T20I)
England have won 13 out of the 28 T20Is they have played against South Africa, losing 12.
At 158, four balls remain to determine who wins this match – yet rain has rendered much of the pitch almost unplayable.
Markram showed his class by hitting an impressive 28 off 14 and his young Blades teammates Brevis and Ferreira took notice, both hitting top edges but only managing double figures in total.
Liam Dawson had Kagiso Rabada caught by Jofra Archer for England to secure a record-setting T20I win against West Indies by an unprecedented margin of 146 runs, surpassing their earlier victory of 137 runs against them earlier in 2019.
8. England vs South Africa (T20I)
Phil Salt made history as England thumped South Africa at Old Trafford to claim their highest T20I total and victory on an otherwise wet evening. Phil’s ton represented an unforgettable performance for England.
Aiden Markram made an impressive 28 off 14 balls before younger Protea batters took charge with Dewald Brevis (23 off 12 balls) and Donovan Ferreira (25) both hitting sixes as the young Proteas batted with intent.
Buttler also impressed, scoring 25 off 11 as part of an exhibition of boundary hitting for England. Unfortunately, however, his attempt at pulling misfired, leaving only a dot. Will Jacks then came on and managed to draw Fortuin into giving away an edge that Jos Buttler caught safely – the final wicket and leaving South Africa on 158 runs before Liam Dawson caught Kagiso Rabada for Jofra Archer – giving England victory by 146 runs.
9. England vs South Africa (T20I)
On a rain-soaked night, England were defeated decisively in another one-sided T20 International. Ffion Wynne shares how England lost and what changes must take place to restore victory for England in future matches.
Jos Buttler provided England’s only bright spot, hitting three sixes during his 25. Unfortunately, however, the rest struggled on an unfamiliar pitch while South Africa chased their target of 69 from five overs. Harry Brook in particular struggled mightily, mishitting pull shots for dot balls or singles before eventually being bowled by Ngidi.
Aiden Markram impressed in the powerplay with an assured 28 off 14 and the younger batsmen took notice, hitting sixes by Brevis and Ferreira but it wasn’t enough. Luke Wood finally broke through in the third over, getting Brevis to chip his shot to midwicket before following up shortly thereafter with Stubbs wicket.
10. England vs South Africa (T20I)
England’s white-ball woes continued at Old Trafford as South Africa overpowered them in a rain-reduced T20I by an unprecedented margin of 146 runs – their largest margin ever by runs ever in this format.
After an inauspicious start, the Proteas quickly assumed control. Dewald Brevis (26) and Donovan Ferreira both struck early, before the batsmen put on an incredible show with boundary hitting to reach 325-8 in 20 overs.
England’s reply was even more one-sided, with Phil Salt falling first ball to Brevis at fine leg for an excellent catch, Jos Buttler only making 25 off 11 balls and even Jofra Archer scoring 27 unbeaten runs unbeaten for England despite an unbeaten 27 by Jofra Archer; England never looked like recovering; this worrying development for a side that needs to improve across formats at the top of their order – they face an extended summer ahead.
