Afraid South Africa never really recovered from Jofra Archer's opening spell. My man of the match. Powerful performance from England.

Catch of the tournament....Ben Stokes might turn out to be both—The Catch and the one who’s taken the beat catch. 🙇‍♂️

Expected England to beat South Africa but not by over 100 runs. What a start. Huge for net run rate later on too.

Seen some great catches today. This one by Stokes to dismiss Phehlukwayo was insane!
