00:00This is where we are in South East London, the Oval Cricket Ground, and England are ready.

00:06Africa are in town, all is set for an extravaganza of cricket.

00:14Oh yeah, I think he's got him!

00:16You beauty, and he's off!

00:20That is a throw down. That was a drive ball, and Joe Root does not miss out on them.

00:26Gone fine. Modern way of fine leg being wide just opens up that area.

00:35A short ball. Beautifully over the bounce.

00:42That's hit over mid-off. He's a very good player, Jason Roy, he doesn't hang in there.

00:49This time it brings up Jason Roy's 50, a very good one. Just 51 deliveries.

00:56Will be a single, a bit of miss for you.

00:59Brings up the 50 for Root.

01:03This time in the air. An easy catch at mid-off, and Feklikayo strikes.

01:11And they've got it. Straight to point.

01:17As Morgan dances down the pitch, and hits Nguidi straight over mid-off for six.

01:26Pull this time to the shorter boundary. Doesn't matter whether it's a short boundary, that's gone a long way into the crowd.

01:34Yep, just get that feeling when you can't bowl to Morgan, and he picks up the maximum.

01:43Doesn't time it, but he finds the gap. It could be four, it is.

01:47And that is 50 for the England captain, Owen Morgan.

01:52Wide, slow ball. Stokes had to reach for it. Save your legs, that's a boundary.

02:01What a way to go to 50.

02:06Down the ground, and taken! An excellent catch from Aidan Markram.

02:12Down. Hashim Amla, short third man, Stokes trying to scoop it over.

02:18A shock at the start, when Jonny Berstow was dismissed first ball by Imran Tahir,

02:24but then there were 50s for Roy and Root, and Morgan. Stokes top-scored with 89.

02:30311 for 8 from their 50 overs.

02:34Played that on purpose. Played it beautifully. Goes for four.

02:42Beautifully placed by Aidan Markram.

02:47Out. Joe Root doesn't miss. Jofra Archer, with the wicket.

02:53Finds the gap. It's quickened up the outfield here at the Oval.

02:56That will run away for four.

03:01Short, and this could be out. It is out! The plan works!

03:08And what a strike that is, into the net.

03:13And it's in.

03:14And this could be out. It is out! The plan works!

03:21And what a strike that is, into his slot.

03:28The single takes him to 50, his 22nd ODI 50, he's had 14 hundreds,

03:32and this is his second 50 in World Cup cricket.

03:37Up and over, and he's done this beautifully, does it go all the way?

03:39Yes it does! Class from Quinton de Kock.

03:44And that's beautifully played. Eventually he finds the distance,

03:47he picks it, he gets to the pitch.

03:52Huge trouble for South Africa and Quinton de Kock.

03:58Ah, it's beautifully played. Use of the feet, Rashid,

04:01balling fuller and fuller.

04:05Cut away nicely, that's the shorter boundary, that'll be four.

04:10And he does have 50 now.

04:12A start to international cricket, that's his fifth 50.

04:18In the air, should just be taken at mid-arm.

04:21England needed a wicket.

04:24Again on the sweep, is it going to go over his head?

04:26Oh! No way! No, no way! You cannot do that, Ben Stokes.

04:35What a lovely shot this is, and it's gone all the way.

04:39Nice and pure from Lungi Ngidi.

04:45Gone! Ben Stokes with the runs, Ben Stokes in the field,

04:51and Ben Stokes with the ball.

04:55England wrap up this game, the tournament opener,

04:59a clinical and devastating win against South Africa.

05:04A 2-2 for Ben Stokes and a warning to the rest of the teams involved

05:07in this tournament.

05:09Probably could have eked out more with the bats,

05:11but their bowling and fielding has been sensational.
