Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the first One Day International between England and South Africa taking place at Headingley, Leeds on Tuesday, September 2. English players come into the tournament on the back of the Hundred. Harry Brook's Northern Superchargers lost the final of the tournament but this time the dashing right-hander will be leading his country and will try to win the series. Proteas are being led by Temba Bavuma who just helped his side win a three-match ODI series in Australia. South Africa will want to continue on their good work. Follow live scores and updates here
LIVE UPDATES

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: RSA 121/1 (18.1)

So, the fun ends for Aiden Markram who has to depart for 86 from just 55 balls. Brilliant innings and that has been ended by a brilliant catch behind the stumps. Jamie Smith takes a blinder to end Markram's innings. Adil Rashid hands England the first wicket but only 11 runs left to be made now.

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: RSA 80/0 (13)

South Africa will wrap things up in a bit more time. Aiden Markram is batting at his best and has reached 54 already from only 36 balls. That killed the game right at the start. Sonny Baker had a horror debut and he was belted for 56 runs in his five overs while Jofra Archer went for just eight in his five. A very bizarre match so far. Meanwhile, Ryan Rickelton is just happy playing second fiddle.

Two different games are going on on two different ends in this South Africa chase. The 50 is up but it has come in a remarkable manner. Debutant Sonny Baker has leaked 44 from his three overs while Jofra Archer has looked threatening and given away only five runs from his three overs. Markram has raced to 38 off 17 thanks to him majorly facing Baker.

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: RSA 14/0 (1)

South Africa need 118 runs

Sonny Baker has been dispatched for three boundaries and a total of 14 runs in his maiden ODI over. Aiden Markram is showing his class and South Africa seem to be in a hurry to finish this game. Nothing going England's way.

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: ENG 131 (24.3)

Unbelivable! England have gone from 82/2 to 131 all out. Within 49 runs, they have lost their last eight wickets. Four of them taken by the in-form Keshav Maharaj. England have absolutely imploded. Really, really poor batting effort.

England are 131 all out

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: ENG 119/7 (21.2)

Keshav Maharaj yet again turns the game in South Africa's favour and giving him elite company is Wiaan Mulder. England have completely collapsed out of nowhere. They have lost five wickets in last 44 deliveries. Only 37 runs added and all of Jamie Smith, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler, Will Jacks and Jacob Bethell have been sent back to pavillion. Another poor outing with the bat for England.

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: ENG 101/3 (17)

England move past 100 but now they have also lost their captain Harry Brook. Jos Buttler has now come to the crease after Brook's run out. Meanwhile, Jamie Smith has completed a brilliant half-century. Three wickets on the other end, but Smith has looked completely in control. 10 fours so far for the wicket-keeper batter.

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: ENG 57/2 (10)

A mixed first powerplay for both sides. England have lost Ben Duckett and Joe Root early but they have made 57 runs. Jamie Smith has settled in well. He is batting on 30. Captain Harry Brook has arrived to the crease. Interesting to see when Keshav Maharaj will enter the attack.

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: ENG 33/1 (5)

Nandre Burger gets an early wicket of Ben Duckett but that has not stopped England from finding boundaries. Joe Root has now joined Jamie Smith and the duo could soon become a problem for South Africa.

England vs South Africa LIVE Score, 1st ODI: Play!

Nandre Burger will start for South Africa with his express pace. Jamie Smith is out in the middle with Ben Duckett. Let us see how the surface plays. The English openers will definitely go after the bowling.
