    ENG vs SA, 1st ODI: Preview, stats, and Fantasy XI

    What's the story

    After a 2-1 drubbing against India, hosts England will face South Africa in a three-match ODI series, starting July 19.

    England looked out of sorts in the one-dayers against India, something they would look to avoid.

    Keshav Maharaj is the stand-in captain for SA in ODIs.

    The visitors have a hostile-looking set-up to tackle the Three Lions.

    Here is the preview.

    Details

    Pitch report, timing, and TV listing

    The Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street will host this affair.

    It has been a batter-friendly venue, boasting an average first-innings score of 245.

    Chasing sides have won 11 of 20 ODIs played here.

    Pacers have known to run riot at this venue.

    The match will be telecast live on Sony SIX (5:30 PM IST) and live-streamed on the Sony LIV app.

    Data

    Here's the head-to-head record in ODIs

    England have a 28-30 win-loss record against the Proteas in ODIs (one tied and four no-results). Both teams last faced a bilateral series in England in 2017. The hosts won by 2-1, with SA bagging a win in the dead rubber.

    ENG vs SA

    SA eye glory over a frail-looking England

    England's top-order failures have caused them troubles of late.

    Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root can't afford a poor show.

    Their middle-order looks solid, with Jos Buttler and an in-form Moeen Ali.

    Bowling-wise, Reece Topley could be the deciding factor.

    For SA, Quinton de Kock and Janneman Malan are pivotal figures with the willow.

    Pacers Lungi Ngidi and Anrich Nortje could wreak havoc.
