Sisanda Magala and Anrich Nortje produced match-winning spells to secure a thrilling comeback victory against the World Cup holders at a boisterous Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein on Friday night.
Kagiso Rabada, indifferent with the new ball, returned and forced a misjudged pull out of Roy that Wayne Parnell did well to catch while running around the square leg boundary. Roy’s 113 included 11 fours and four sixes, and his dismissal lifted hopes further.
England never recovered with Nortje bowling like the wind, to finish with 4/62, while Magala, was named player of the match for his game-changing spell and finished with 3/46. Van der Dussen will state that England’s bowlers, especially Sam Curran, made excellent use of the short ball — something Magala and Nortje mimicked later — to rein in the home team’s scoring rate.
