England vs South Africa: What has been said?

Following the first ODI, Harry Brook and his opposing captain Temba Bavuma spoke to the media.

Brook said: “Not ideal and not a great start to the series but it’s just one of those bad days and we have to move on as quickly as possible.

“Everybody will hold their hands up and say they’ve had a bad day, apart from Jamie Smith – he batted really nicely. But it’s just one those days, we couldn’t get a partnership together.

“The ball held in the pitch a bit more than usual but I don’t want to go into too much detail, it’s a bad day and we’ve got to move on.”

Bavuma added: “We were clinical with the ball.

“Even though they managed to put us under a bit of pressure in the powerplay, we still managed to take wickets. Then in the middle, the guys came in, Kesh [Maharaj] showing his class.

“With the ball, I don’t think you can fault much. With the bat, we could have been more clinical at the end but I don’t think it takes anything away from how we went about the chase, led by Aiden Markram at the top really taking the attack to them.”
