South Africa have started the T20I series on a winning note after sealing the ODI series 2-1.
They now lead the three-match T20I series 1-0. The opening T20I was shortened due to rain but still turned out to be an exciting contest.
Batting first in a rain-hit game, South Africa posted 97 runs in just 7.5 overs.
Aiden Markram scored 28, Donovan Ferreira added 25, and Dewald Brevis chipped in with 23 quick runs to give them a strong platform.
With the ball, Marco Jansen and Corbin Bosch both picked up 2 wickets each and made things difficult for the English batters.

With the series now in balance, England will be desperate to bounce back and level things, while South Africa will look to seal the series early.
Both sides have explosive players, and conditions at Old Trafford are expected to provide an even contest between bat and ball.
