South Africa win the toss and elect to field at a cloudy Johannesburg and immediately claim a breakthrough as England opener Joe Denly is trapped lbw by Charl Langeveldt with the very first delivery of the match
Jonathan Trott enters the fray and immediately starts to punish any wayward bowling from the hosts as England progress to 20-1 from three overs
England lose Alastair Cook lbw to Ryan McLaren for 11 in the fourth over before Trott is run out for 33 after taking a risky run against the arm of Graeme Smith in the seventh over of the clash with England 61-3
Eoin Morgan joins his skipper Paul Collingwood at the crease and willow starts to dominate leather as the pair bring up their 50 partnership in 29 balls as the score progresses to 111-3 from 12 overs
England lose Collingwood for 57 and then Luke Wright and Matt Prior cheaply but Morgan hits a stunning unbeaten 85 including five sixes as the tourists post a national record of 202-6
Skipper Smith and Loots Bosman get the hosts off to a superb start, putting on 97 for the first wicket before Smith falls for 41
Bosman, like Smith, hits four massive sixes but his innings ends on 58 off just 31 balls when Collingwood clings on to a steepler, and then JP Duminy gets out for six as the momentum swings
AB de Villiers and Albie Morkel trudge off as rain stops play with South Africa 127-3 after 13 overs, one run behind on the Duckworth/Lewis method, meaning England win the match by the smallest of margins
