South Africa in England T20I Series - 1st T20I

England v South Africa

South Africa won by 7 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)

T20I no. 258 | 2012 season
Played at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street
8 September 2012 (20-over match)


England innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
C Kieswetter†	lbw b Botha	25	28	24	3	1	104.16
6.1 and the first ball spins into the front pad and is given out lbw. Nice delivery first up, jags back and strikes Kieswetter in line with off stump, pretty plumb in front, Kieswetter played across it but got done by the turn 40/2
AD Hales	run out (Kallis)	11	15	6	2	0	183.33
3.4 Morkel to Kieswetter, dropped into the leg side, Hales came a long way down and was sent back, Kallis throws down the stumps and is run out, total waste for England but a good scalp for South Africa and sharp work, excellent work from Kallis, never a run there 27/1
RS Bopara	c Botha b Steyn	6	19	11	0	0	54.54
7.4 can you believe it, Bopara gone again caught at slip and it is exactly the same dismissal as Bopara's other dismissals against South Africa, pushing tentatively forward to a fullish ball just outside off without moving his feet and getting an edge behind the wicket 50/3
EJG Morgan	b Botha	10	17	11	1	0	90.90
10.2 bowled him, Morgan chops on! He tried to manufacture another busy shot, against the turn and it was a bit too close, the ball taking a chunk of bat and cannoning on to the wicket 66/4
JM Bairstow	c Botha b Morkel	15	24	17	1	0	88.23
13.4 gone, tries to go big but holes out to long-on! England are making a right horlicks of this, Bairstow trying to up the pace and punching a lofted drive limply to the man stationed out near the boundary 80/6
JC Buttler	b Peterson	6	8	9	0	0	66.66
12.3 bowled him, another one gone! Buttler beaten by the flight and turn, well down the wicket and all at sea, he pushed tamely as the ball span by and clattered into middle and off 76/5
SR Patel	c Kallis b Peterson	4	12	7	0	0	57.14
15.3 hits out and goes, caught in the deep by the diving Kallis. It was boom or bust and Patel was not going to be bailed out, trying to hoick over long-off, didn't get enough bat on it and Kallis ran in to dive full length, sliding along the turf and getting safely under a magnificent catch 85/7
SCJ Broad*	not out	18	27	22	1	0	81.81

GP Swann	not out	18	19	13	3	0	138.46

Extras	(b 3, lb 2)	5

JH Kallis	3	0	20	0	6.66


South Africa innings (target: 119 runs from 20 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
RE Levi	c Swann b Dernbach	8	6	7	2	0	114.28
1.4 well here's the breakthrough, a length ball outside off and Levi has chopped it to slip trying to cut away without moving his feet, didn't really got that hard at it, bit of a fiddle again and nicked off 9/1
JH Kallis	not out	48	81	44	7	0	109.09

F du Plessis	lbw b Finn	4	4	3	0	0	133.33
2.4 full and plumb in front, lbw as du Plessis is trapped right in front trying to drive, it was another ball angled into the pads and this catches the bottom of the front pad of du Plessis and he also fails like Bopara, was going on to smash middle and leg stumps 14/2
AB de Villiers*†	c †Kieswetter b Dernbach	10	5	6	2	0	166.66
3.6 but now de Villiers edges to the keeper. He drove without moving his feet really and got a thin edge through to Kieswetter, a good length ball and de Villiers in unnecessarily trying to force it through the off side has perished, didn't need to do that really 29/3
JP Duminy	not out	47	62	54	4	0	87.03
