England vs South Africa live score: Second T20 International

Toss | England have won the toss and chose to field first.

Playing XI:

South Africa: Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Rilee Rossouw, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller(c), Tristan Stubbs, Andile Phehlukwayo, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi

England: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler(w/c), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Richard Gleeson, Reece Topley

England will look to continue their dominance over the Proteas in T20Is as the second T20I kick starts at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. The first match was a batting-heavy match as sixes were seen raining all over the ground.

The pitch at the Sophia Gardens is expected to be a bit sticky as usual. This might result in batters struggling to score freely. But the manner in which batters have adapted to the T20I format, no wicket seems improbable for a high-scoring match.

The Proteas will look to level the series to go in the third match with some purpose and context rather than play just for pride.

The two teams just met yesterday, and within 24 hours, they will lock horns again at a new venue. England have won four of the last five encounters between the two sides. However, overall South Africa is not far behind, with 10 wins against England’s 12.

It will be worthwhile to see if it is a cracker of a contest or if one of the teams surrender quite early.

In line with this thought, we are running a series of profiles on India's illustrious badminton stars. The articles, penned by Shirish Nadkarni, promise to take you on a nostalgia trip while touching upon the lesser-known facets from the lives of the past masters. Few badminton players can boast of the kind of consistency and all-round excellence that characterised Sarojini, the eldest of the three Apte sisters who dominated Indian badminton in the mid-1960s. Sarojini played in six Indian Nationals, from 1962 to ’67, and figured in the finals of all the three events in all the six years, except for a solitary ladies doubles final in 1964. In other words, seventeen out of eighteen National finals, but producing a slightly better than one-third result – s...
