Church Crisis
The resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, over historic abuse allegations is a moment of reckoning for the Church of England.
South Africa skipper Quinton de Kock on Tuesday won the toss and opted to bat first against England in the first ODI of the three-match series between the sides at Newlands in Cape Town.
JJ Smuts and Lutho Sipamla make their debuts for South Africa, meanwhile, Matt Parkinson and Tom Banton make their first England appearance.
Notably, the hosts have won all the five ODIs they have played against England at Newlands.
