England in South Africa T20I Series - 1st T20I

South Africa v England

England won by 1 run (D/L method)

T20I no. 124 | 2009/10 season
Played at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
13 November 2009 - day/night (20-over match)


England innings (20 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
JL Denly	lbw b Langeveldt	0	1	1	0	0	0.00
0.1 what a start for South Africa, wicket first ball, Denly shuffles across and tries to work the ball away fine on the leg side and the umpire's finger goes up...Langeveldt is over the moon and the local crowd are on their feet. Wow, nothing like a quiet start 0/1
AN Cook	lbw b McLaren	11	18	8	1	0	137.50
3.4 another one goes, and that was as plumb as you'll see...Cook misses a low full-toss on leg stump and that was crashing straight into the timber. 25/2
IJL Trott	run out (Smith/van der Merwe)	33	34	25	5	0	132.00
6.6 from van der Merwe, well, well, there's drama here. A sharp single to point, a sharper throw comes in. Roelof makes a hash of his attempt at taking off the bails but just does enough with his knuckle in the end, and that's gone 61/3
PD Collingwood*	c Botha b McLaren	57	53	32	3	4	178.12
16.1 that's the end of a cracking innings. Made room for a full-length delivery, but picked out the man in the deep at long-off. Superb batting, and England are on course for 200-plus, as Luke Wright arrives to biff a few 159/4
EJG Morgan	not out	85	54	45	7	5	188.88

LJ Wright	c de Villiers b Steyn	2	6	5	0	0	40.00
17.4 another full toss, but Wright doesn't time that at all, and AB de Villiers sets himself well and completes an easy catch. 167/5
MJ Prior†	c Morkel b McLaren	0	3	1	0	0	0.00
18.2 width again, full length, Prior attempts to carve over point, but he didn't get the elevation and Albie Morkel swallowed the chance with a deft leap 169/6
TT Bresnan	not out	3	7	3	0	0	100.00

Extras	(lb 5, w 6)	11

South Africa innings (target: 129 runs from 13 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
GC Smith*	c Morgan b Wright	41	38	23	3	4	178.26
8.3 that's what England desperately needed. Another slower ball, drilled out to deep point, where Eoin Morgan steadies himself and pouches a fast, flat chance 97/1
LE Bosman	c Collingwood b Swann	58	42	31	5	4	187.09
9.2 that has gone miles and miles in the air. Someone is going to be under it, and the skipper makes the call at midwicket. Steadies himself well, clings on and falls to the turf in his followthrough, and that is not only a vital wicket, it's the end of a brilliant innings 101/2
JP Duminy	lbw b Mahmood	6	10	5	1	0	120.00
10.2 that is much, much better, and that is also out! Pitches just on leg stump, nips away, and raps the pad halfway up. Timely, and this could be a cracking finish 112/3
AB de Villiers	not out	10	20	10	1	0	100.00
