Lungi Ngidi defends seven runs in the final over to bowl South Africa to a one-run victory over England in the first T20
South Africa v England - First T20 - Buffalo Park, East London, South Africa, February 12, 2020. South Africa's Lungi Ngidi celebrates after winning the match.
The visitors lost their nerve at the finish, though, in what will be a tough lesson at the start of the build-up to the Twenty20 World Cup to be played in Australia in October. Opener Roy provided the power at the top of the England order with superb straight hitting that included seven fours and three sixes.
Having earlier picked up the key wicket of Ben Stokes , he removed Tom Curran and Moeen Ali , before Adil Rashid was run out on the last ball going for a second run that would have tied the game and led to a super over.
