First Match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Well, the wait is over. Finally! ICC Cricket World cup is on its way and we will have our hands on the very first encounter of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 today between the host team England and the very fine South African side.

Both Team are coming into the world cup after playing two warm up matches each. England played their first warm up match against their arch rival Australia which they lost by a small margin of 12 runs. Here is a match block. Click for all the details of the Eng Match.

Next they played Afghanistan and trashed the young side by 9 wickets. This was a very clinical performance after the loss in the first Warm up, It certainly brought the flavor back to the world cup favorites.

South Africa’s first Warm up match was up against the struggling Sri Lankan team and they won the match convincingly after scoring a mammoth total of 338 in their first innings. South Africa’s Second Warm up vs West Indies has drained away as the rain came in pouring down right after the first 12 overs.

If we look into the overall stats there there is not much to choose from the two. however England team is considered to be the favorites in this world cup encounter by many based on their recent form and winning streak against good sides and they also have home advantage as the conditions will most likely be a huge factor in this world cup event.

South Africa vs England is expected to be a thriller with two very fine batting sides so we can safely expect it to be a runs fest at the Oval.

39.5

OUT! Caught. Ben Stokes to Imran Tahir. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot Steer, outside edge in the air uncontrolled to second slip, by Root. Tahir goes first ball, he's guided it straight to Joe Root at first slip. Stokes has two wickets in two balls and England complete a dominant victory here at the Oval. Expectations had been set high but these eleven men sure lived up to them today. After leaving some runs out there with the bat England were electric in the field, setting the tone from the very first ball. Each of the bowlers knew their role and executed their plans perfectly, the pressure proving too much for South Africa in the end. That's all from me at the Oval for today, join us again tomorrow when we'll be at Trent Bridge in Nottingham to see Pakistan take on the West Indies.

39.4

OUT! Caught. Ben Stokes to Kagiso Rabada. Short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg, by Plunkett. Well struck by Rabada but Ben Stokes can do no wrong today and it's gone straight to Liam Plunkett at deep backward square. England have been impressive today.

SIX! Liam Plunkett to Lungi Ngidi. Slower length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. That's a great shot, Ngidi plays with the full face of the bat and lofts the ball straight over the bowler's head and into the stands.

OUT! Caught. Liam Plunkett to Hashim Amla. Off cutter bouncer, outside off stump on the back foot hooking, top edge in the air uncontrolled to wicketkeeper, by Buttler. Banged in short and Amla tried to hook from somewhere above his head. It would probably have been a wide had he not got a little top edge through to Buttler. Amla goes and this game moves closer to its conclusion.

Over 50. 11 runs. Bowler: Kagiso Rabada. England: 8-311(rr 6.22)

49.6

Kagiso Rabada to Liam Plunkett. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to mid off for 1 run, fielded by du Plessis. Well I don't think either side will be jumping for joy nor will they be down in the doldrums after that first innings. England could perhaps have scored more but just as each batsman was looking to really push on they got out. South Africa made it difficult for them in the latter part of the innings and England will need to learn from that. We could be in for a close game here, England are going to have to be good in the field and with the ball in hand to defend this score.

49.5

Kagiso Rabada to Liam Plunkett. Half volley, middle stump on the front foot flick, mis-timed to deep square leg for 2 runs, fielded by van der Dussen.

49.4

Kagiso Rabada to Jofra Archer. Slower ball short, outside off stump on the front foot pulling, well timed to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Duminy.

48.6

OUT! Caught. Lungi Ngidi to Ben Stokes. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, in the air uncontrolled to backward point, by Amla. Stokes tries the reverse shot again (more of a reverse pull if anything) with the men in the offside in the ring but he's hit it straight to Hashim Amla. Even Stokes was finding it difficult to really get hold of the ball there towards the end with there being no pace to work with. I'm sure the coaches in the England camp will be taking note of that.

48.5

Lungi Ngidi to Ben Stokes. Slower length ball, down leg side backing away driving, inside edge in the air uncontrolled to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by de Kock.

48.4

Lungi Ngidi to Liam Plunkett. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long off for 1 run, fielded by Markram.

48.3

48.2

Lungi Ngidi to Ben Stokes. Slower ball short, outside off stump down the track driving, to mid off for 1 run, fielded by du Plessis.

48.1

FOUR! Lungi Ngidi to Ben Stokes. Slower ball back of a length, to leg on the back foot pulling, past fine leg for 4 runs. Not a good ball to start the over and helped around the corner with fine leg in the circle.

47.5

Kagiso Rabada to Ben Stokes. Slower ball short, down leg side on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Markram.

47.4

FOUR! Kagiso Rabada to Ben Stokes. Slower ball short, middle stump on the back foot cutting, well timed past deep cover for 4 runs. Stokes does well to reach that and even better to hit it for four.

47.3

OUT! Caught. Kagiso Rabada to Chris Woakes. Back of a length, outside off stump backing away driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to long on, by du Plessis. That is out though, Woakes trying again to give himself room to swing the arms but Rabada angled the ball back into him. Woakes didn't connect well with his shot and Faf du Plessis took his third catch of the day at long on.

47.2

Kagiso Rabada to Chris Woakes. Short, outside off stump backing away cutting, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by de Kock.

47.1

APPEAL! Kagiso Rabada to Ben Stokes. Half volley, down leg side on the front foot working, hit pad to fine leg for 1 run, fielded by Ngidi, appeal made for L.B.W. Pitching well outside leg but that has hurt Stokes, a nasty blow near the ankle. The South Africans review but it was clearly not out.

APPEAL! Andile Phehlukwayo to Chris Woakes. Half volley, to leg on the front foot working, leading edge to silly mid off for no runs, by Phehlukwayo, appeal made for Caught & Bowled. Chipped into the air by Woakes but it went into the hands on the half volley.

46.5

Andile Phehlukwayo to Ben Stokes. Slower ball back of a length, to leg backing away pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Tahir.

45.3

FOUR! Kagiso Rabada to Chris Woakes. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, in the air under control past deep backward point for 4 runs. Width from Rabada allows Woakes a full swing of the arms, sending the ball flying over backward point. Just one bounce inside the boundary and over the ropes.

43.6

OUT! Caught. Lungi Ngidi to Moeen Ali. Slower length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, in the air uncontrolled to long on, by du Plessis. That's a great take in the deep by the South African captain diving to his left. Again there's no pace on the ball from Ngidi, his execution has been excellent in this spell. England are not having things all their own way here at the Oval, these last few overs will be very important.

43.5

Lungi Ngidi to Ben Stokes. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the front foot reverse sweeping, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to extra cover for 1 run, fielded by Phehlukwayo.

41.2

OUT! Bowled. Lungi Ngidi to Jos Buttler. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, bottom edge to. Chopped on, the cutter works for Ngidi. He's been taking the pace off a lot, making the batsmen generate their own power. This time the ball gripped in the pitch and came back a bit at Buttler, cramping him for room as he tried to play the pull.

FOUR! Imran Tahir to Ben Stokes. Googly back of a length, off stump backing away cutting, past deep point for 4 runs. The spin on the ball takes it further and further behind square and away from the fielder and means that in the end Stokes gets four for that shot.

That is probably the catch of the tournament. It might only be game one, but there is no way anyone is topping that. Go out and find a video as you need to see this, incredible.

APPEAL! Adil Rashid to Andile Phehlukwayo. Googly length ball, down leg side on the back foot defending, hit pad to silly point for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. Well I think Phehlukwayo is a very lucky boy indeed. He went back to a very full googly and was struck on the pad. Not out was the decision on the field but England reviewed and were confident. It's landed millimetres outside leg stump, otherwise I think it was out.

10.5

FOUR! Adil Rashid to Quinton de Kock. Googly length ball, middle stump on the front foot sweeping, bottom edge past third man for 4 runs. Would you believe it! The ball has hit off stump, the bail lit up and then settled back into position on top of the stumps. To really rub it in it rebounded away for four runs too, the ball coming off the bottom edge of de Kock's bat, into his pad and then off off stump.

That's a top edge, it's high in the air, and taken by Moeen Ali! It's that man Jofra Archer again, the England selectors will be high-fiving somewhere. Again it was the extra pace of Archer which got du Plessis into trouble, he simply couldn't control the shot.

7.4

OUT! Caught. Jofra Archer to Aiden Markram. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pushing, outside edge in the air uncontrolled to first slip, by Root. Well just as I say that he's out! Jofra Archer has the breakthrough for England. Markram was trying to force the ball off the back foot, it is an area he scores a lot of runs. With the extra pace of Archer though the ball slid off the edge and Root took a sharp catch at slip.

7.3

FOUR! Jofra Archer to Aiden Markram. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed past deep cover for 4 runs. That's another classy drive from Markram. It might have been a surprise to some that he was in the eleven today but he looks good so far.

3.5

Jofra Archer to Hashim Amla. Bouncer, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, hit helmet to short leg for no runs. Ouch. That's done Amla for pace and smashed into the grill of his helmet. On comes the physio to check for any signs of concussion. In fact Amla is heading off with the physio and Markram is coming out to bat.

FOUR! Chris Woakes to Quinton de Kock. Off cutter back of a length, to leg on the front foot cutting, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. Slip had just been taken out and that's where this ball has gone.
