T20 World Cup, ENG vs SA live streaming: When and where to watch England vs South Africa match?

After many disruptions and setbacks, England’s white-ball tour of South Africa has been cancelled after COVID-19 outbreak in both the squads. Only three T20I matches were completed as scheduled, however, the ODI series, which should have started on Friday as per the original scheduled, suffered deferment thrice in four days due to the positive COVID-19 cases in both the squads and at their hotel in Cape Town.<o:p></o:p>

The cancellation comes as a massive blow to Cricket South Africa’s hopes of reviving cricket after the resumption of sports post-COVID-19 lockdown. Major teams like Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are due to tour South Africa in coming weeks but the latest development in England’s tour could force the three teams to reconsider their decision in the wake of the problems England encountered. <o:p></o:p>

As many as three South African players contracted the coronavirus after England arrived on November 17. Since then, two England players have returned COVID-19 positive along with two workers at the shared hotel in Cape Town.

The decision was taken jointly by the two Boards to ensure the mental and physical&nbsp;health and welfare of players from both teams.

The CSA and ECB will now work together to determine when the three-match series, which forms part of the ICC Cricket Men’s Super League, can take place in the future.

England's tour of South Africa called off after COVID-19 outbreak

England’s limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan on Thursday defended the cryptic signals and information received from video analyst Nathan Leamon during the third T20I against South Africa in Cape Town while adding that he would continue to make use of signals from the team balcony.

Leamon, England’s video analyst, was seen showing images of numbers are letters from England team’s balcony during the third T20I against South Africa – a move that has raised question marks from the cricket fraternity.

"There’s been no real signals," said Morgan.&nbsp;

"There has always been constant communication, verbal or physical, from the change room to us the field to help improve my decisions as captain and Jos Buttler’s decisions as vice-captain,” said Morgan.

Morgan added that England did their research on the game and any signals were intended to express how data might have evolved during the course of the match.&nbsp;

"It’s something we’ve used a lot pre-game and are now experimenting within the game to see if we can improve our performance on the field."

Morgan went on to reveal that signals had been used in the entire T20 series and not just the final match.&nbsp;

"There weren’t many decisions that varied from mine. I think there were three in the first game, two in the second and a couple in the third," said Morgan ahead of a three-match one-day series against South Africa, starting at Newlands on Friday.

The England skipper further said that the tactical innovation was "100 per cent within the spirit of the game". &nbsp;

Earlier, it was reported that England were clear about their plan to use signals with the match officials before the start of the T20I series.

"We’re definitely going to continue with it to give it enough sample size to see whether it improves our decision-making on the field," said Morgan.

SA vs ENG: Eoin Morgan defends use of cryptic signals from team balcony

Dawid Malan and Jos Buttler launched a savage assault on South Africa's bowlers as England completed a series clean sweep with a nine-wicket win in the third and final Twenty20 international at Newlands in Cape Town on Tuesday.

Man of the series Malan finished on 99 not out, while Buttler was unbeaten on 67.

They shared a world record T20 international second wicket partnership of 167 off 90 balls to make South Africa's 191 for three look insignificant. England won with 14 balls to spare.

Rassie van der Dussen (74 not out) and Faf du Plessis (52 not out) set up South Africa's biggest total of the series in an unbeaten partnership of 127 off 66 balls for the fourth wicket.

But the left-handed Malan was quickly into his stride when he joined Buttler after the dismissal of Jason Roy. By the end, South Africa looked a demoralised team.&nbsp;

"Those guys played unbelievable innings, they put our bowlers under a lot of pressure," admitted home captain and wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock, who fumbled a return from fielder Temba Bavuma when Malan, on 36, was well out of his ground.

"It was nice to get a bit of momentum at the start," said Malan, who hit two fours and a six off the first four deliveries he faced. "The wicket played really well."

England captain Eoin Morgan said the pitch had played far better than he expected at the toss, when he anticipated a low-scoring match. "To win in such commanding fashion builds a lot of confidence in the change room," he said.

Malan hit 11 fours and five sixes in his 47-ball innings. Buttler faced one ball fewer and hit three fours and five sixes.

England were always well up with the required rate but put themselves in total command in the 10th and 11th overs when they hit 21 and 19 runs off Lutho Sipamla and Tabraiz Shamsi respectively.

Sipamla, replacing the injured Kagiso Rabada and playing his first match of any type since the last South African season, was thrashed for 45 runs off 2.4 overs.

Left-arm wrist spinner Shamsi conceded 57 runs off four overs, two days after taking three for 19 in the second match in Paarl.

The teams meet in a three-match one-day international series, starting at the same venue on Friday.

Malan smacks unbeaten 99 as England romp to series sweep

England opener Jason Roy, ahead of the South Africa series, has said that no one is assured of a place in the team given the quality of players in the limited-overs squad while adding there is pressure on everybody to perform.&nbsp;

England is set to take on South Africa in three T20Is and as many ODIs. This will be South Africa’s first international assignment since March.

Ahead of the T20 World Cup in 2021 scheduled to be played in India in October and November, competition for places is fierce in the England squad.

“It’s a beautiful position to be in, to be spoilt for choice,” Roy told reporters on Wednesday.

“I would 100 per cent be lying if you said you were not under pressure for your place.

“The amount of talent that is around us. There is not one person, everyone is getting pushed to their limits. No one can rest on their laurels, it’s one of those amazing squads.

“I have got to get myself physically fit, mentally fit and then I’ve got to score some runs. It’s as simple as that.”

South African-born Roy went through a torrid run of form in English summer, managing just 49 runs in six matches – against Ireland and Australia – after lighting up the 50-over World Cup which England won. He is now set to face two in-form bowlers in Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, that too in their home conditions.&nbsp;

“You just know you need to switch on or you’ll leave with a few broken bones. You’ve got to make sure your training is on point and ready to face a bit of fire,” Roy said.

“It was a tough summer. Injury plus a new environment that is completely alien to me and who I am as a person. Mentally it was very tough.”

SA vs ENG: Jason Roy concedes fierce battle for places in England's limited-overs squad

Opener <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/england-drop-bairstow-from-test-squad-for-new-zealand-series-251553">Dominic Sibley</a> struck a career-best unbeaten 85 as England seized control of the second Test against South Africa at the close of the third day at Newlands on Sunday, grinding down their hosts ahead of a fourth-innings victory charge.

The tourists reached 218 for four at stumps, a lead of 264 that already looks substantial with two full days remaining, and potentially provides an excellent chance to level the four-match series.

Sibley put on 116 for the third wicket with captain <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-captain-joe-roots-year-of-frustration-as-england-falter-in-test-arena-270931">Joe Root</a> (61), before the latter steered Dwaine Pretorius to Faf du Plessis at slip late on.

Nightwatchman Dominic Bess gloved a leg-side delivery from Anrich Nortje (2-36) to end the day.

Sibley will seek to take the game further away from South Africa with <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-stokes-and-broad-bicker-as-england-end-first-test-with-a-loss-270971">Ben Stokes</a> on day four with England's travelling fans in full voice in Cape Town.

"We’ve done really well – the performance with the ball yesterday and today we have shown some real grit with the bat," England seamer James Anderson told reporters.

"It is hard to say what is a good target to set. If the wicket is as flat as it was today, we would want 350 plus as a minimum.

"But if it starts to deteriorate, then we feel in the game right now. Whatever we post we will have to bowl well."

Sibley’s previous best in Tests was 29 and he showed impressive patience and concentration to see off the new ball and then accumulate his runs by waiting for the right opportunities to score.

He took 140 balls to reach his 50 and batted for almost the full day, which allowed Root to score more freely at the other end.

South Africa’s other two wickets in England’s second innings were that of Zak Crawley (25), who edged Kagiso Rabada to wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock, and Joe Denly (31), caught at long leg attempting a hook off Nortje.

It was, at times, a war of attrition that the visiting side won with risk-free, smart&nbsp;cricket.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/james-anderson-becomes-fifth-bowler-in-this-decade-to-take-wicket-on-first-ball-of-test-270372">Anderson</a> took five wickets and Stokes an England record five catches as they made short work of wrapping up the South African first innings, bowling the hosts out for 223.

Anderson (5-40) knocked over Rabada (0) with the first ball of the day and completed his England record 28th Test five-wicket haul when Nortje (4) edged to Stokes at slip for the all-rounder to take his fifth catch of the innings.

It is the joint-most by any player in Test&nbsp;cricket&nbsp;and the 12th time a fielder had taken five catches in an innings, but a first for England.

South Africa won the first Test in Pretoria by 107 runs.

Cricket: Sibley, Root put England in command of second Test

In an age of sports science, expert physical conditioning and meticulous planning, watching Test cricketers clumsily kick a soccer ball around as they&nbsp;warm&nbsp;up&nbsp;defies&nbsp;belief.

Not only because they look as if they are going hurt themselves, but because that is often what happens as their child-like enthusiasm for a kick-about clash with the tenets of professional sport.

The latest casualty is <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/rory-burnss-maiden-test-century-frustrates-australia-240333">Rory Burns</a>, England's opening batsman who top-scored in the first Test against South Africa but who will now return home with a serious ankle injury, missing out on the rest of the four-match series.

He hurt ligaments on Thursday trying to kick the ball away as his captain Joe Root bore down on him.

It came only 24 hours after <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/new-zealand-draw-second-test-with-england-win-series-265850">Ollie Pope</a> had taken angry exception to a crunching tackle from teammate Matt Parkinson that in a real game of football might have earned the leg spinner a red card.

"If you look at what football does, the benefits from a psychological and fun point of view are outstripped by the dangers from it, but we will discuss that. I am not coming in with an iron rod right now," said Ashley Giles -- a year ago when he was appointed the new England director of cricket.

But <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-archer-may-miss-test-against-south-africa-271563">England</a> have now added yet&nbsp;another&nbsp;name to a growing list of soccer casualties.

Just over a year ago, Jonny Bairstow lost his place as wicketkeeper on a tour of Sri Lanka after damaging ankle ligaments in a kick-about.

A decade ago, then England coach <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/kirsten-ideal-candidate-to-coach-england-atherton-255139">Andy Flower</a> banned the&nbsp;warm-up&nbsp;soccer&nbsp;routine&nbsp;after Joe Denly damaged a knee because of an unwieldy tackle before a one-day international match against Australia at The Oval.

Like Bairstow, Denly is on tour in South Africa and might have offered some caution, as might have James Anderson, who turned his ankle playing soccer on tour in New Zealand in 2008.

Opponents South African can relate. Ace bowler Vernon Philander was out for eight months after he damaged his ankle in a pre-match kick-about in India.

But South Africa also still continue to play an awkward version of a rondo, where a few players in the middle of a circle of others try to intercept a soccer ball being passed between the players on the outer ring.

Australia's culture is reflected in their choice of touch rugby rather than soccer to get the blood flowing.

But this proved even costlier. In was during such a game that Glenn McGrath stood on a stray cricket ball left on the outfield at Edgbaston and ripped the ligaments in his right ankle, changing the course of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-batting-woes-to-pace-aces-major-takeaways-from-ashes-2019-249986">Ashes</a> in 2005.

Football injures England cricketer Rory Burns

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/hard-work-paid-off-says-quinton-de-kock-after-defeating-india-251443">Quinton de Kock</a> fell five runs short of his century after dragging South Africa out of early trouble to 277 for nine at the close on the opening day of the first test against England at Centurion Park on Thursday.

England took a wicket with the opening delivery of the four-test series and had their hosts teetering on 111-5 after lunch but De Kock’s belligerent innings brought South Africa back into the match.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/james-anderson-becomes-fifth-bowler-in-this-decade-to-take-wicket-on-first-ball-of-test-270372">James Anderson</a> marked his 150th cap and return to the England attack with the first-ball wicket of opener Dean Elgar, setting the tourists up for early domination of an inexperienced home side seeking to halt a run of five successive test defeats.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/watch-punjabs-sam-curran-does-bhangra-with-owner-preity-zinta-after-defeating-delhi-207481">Sam Curran</a>’s skilful bowling earned him figures of 4-57 and Stuart Broad returned from illness to claim 3-52.

But De Kock wrestled the initiative away from England with an innings that combined early aggression, as he sought to impose himself on the bowlers, with later circumspection.

"We tried to make sure we kept up our intent, to keep ticking over and not get bottled up," De Kock told reporters.

"When England are on top, it's very tough to score runs against them."

He reached his 50 off 45 balls with some ferocious hitting before digging in to try to tire out the England bowlers on a hot day.

De Kock fell agonisingly short of a sixth test century as he feathered an away swinger from Curran through to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler for 95 off 128 balls.

De Kock featured in an 87-run sixth-wicket stand with 30-year-old debutant Dwaine Pretorius, who made 33, and 47 runs for the seventh wicket with Vernon Philander who was 28 not out at the close.

Curran led the way for the England bowlers, who had to do without Ben Stokes, forced off the field by dehydration although he did return to the field for the last hour.

The 37-year-old Anderson’s first ball in Test cricket for five months, having limped out of the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-batting-woes-to-pace-aces-major-takeaways-from-ashes-2019-249986">Ashes</a> series with a calf injury, was a warm-up delivery down the leg side that Elgar tried to flick at and edged to Buttler.

New regime&nbsp;

It was not the start South Africa, under a new coaching regime after an administrative crisis, were looking for against an England side who have battled with a flu bug in their camp since arriving almost two weeks ago.

But Zubayr Hamza, in his third test, boosted his chances of securing the regular No. 3 place with 39 before being caught in the slips by Stokes off Broad.

"We would have liked to have got them out but if we can keep them to under 300, we are confident we can go on and bat big," Curran said.
