England vs South Africa preview
Match Preview – 27th May 2017 - 1100 – Venue – Ageas Bowl, Southampton.
England will be looking to build on their impressive performance in the first encounter of the three-match series. Captain Eoin Morgan’s sublime century was the highlight of a solid batting performance with contributions from Moeen Ali (77), Alex Hales (61) and Joe Root (37) creating the platform. Fresh off the back of a strong IPL campaign, Chris Woakes provided the impetus with a brilliant 4-38 and was ably supported by spinners Ali (2-50) and Adil Rashid (2-69).

England vs South Africa prediction
Despite being put into bat first, and losing the early wicket of Jason Roy in the second over, England performed well with the bat, with Morgan’s innings the standout. South Africa started their chase well but were pegged back by the host’s dynamic and varied bowling attack. Morgan and his side will be expecting more of the same on a pitch that will still be good for batting, while providing the bowlers with a bit more interest than they found at Headingley.
- Ben Stokes to score most runs for England – 8.00
- Faf du Plessis to score most runs for South Africa – 5.00
- Jason Roy to score a fifty in the match - 3.00
