England and 3-0

The current England limited overs side is on a roll. Just playing some fearless and extraordinary cricket. Malan and Buttler put on a masterclass while chasing down what seemed like a sizeable target and hunted down the target with more than 2 overs to spare! Malan finished just one short of what would have been a well deserved ton. South Africa have a lot of soul-searching to do ahead of the ODI series.

Raining fours and sixes

Fours and sixes. It is raining fours and sixes in Cape Town with England cantering to a win. In the 14th over, Malan tonked Ngidi for a six. Buttler and Malan then combined to smack Shamsi for 22 runs in the very next over. England's batting might on full display. South Africa just look lost for ideas.

Malan reigns supreme

Malan continues to reign supreme! The southpaw cracked the sweep, reverse sweep and pull to keep the scorecard ticking over. He is striking at almost 200 at present by playing mostly risk-free cricket. Buttler, who was relatively quiet, then smacked Sipamla over cow corner. England are certainly in the hunt.

Meanwhile, Quinton de Kock missed a run out chance with Malan getting a reprieve. Now that could prove to be costly.

Nortje gets Roy

Just the early breakthrough South Africa were looking for. Roy falls for 16 off 14. Roy was done in by the extra pace of Nortje and played around his front pad to be dismissed lbw.

England 25 for 1
