# Cricket: South Africa beat England by 14 runs in the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method in their rain-affected clash in Cardiff, to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20 series. Persistent downpours delayed the start of the game by over two hours, leaving only a nine-overs-a-side contest possible. Aiden Markram scored 28 as the Proteas powered to 97 for five in 7.5 overs before another rain disruption. England’s target was revised to 69 in five overs. Corbin Bosch and Marco Jansen took two wickets as the hosts finished on 54 for five.
