It was a wonderful knock by Stokes!
Stokes looking completely different player from what we saw in the IPL: more resourceful and authoritative

-> Imran Tahir became the first spinner to bowl the first over of a World Cup.
-> Only the 2nd time a wicket fell in the first over of a World Cup.
John Wright got out on the first legitimate ball of the CWC 1992. #ENGvSA
Take a bow, Tahir!
Tahir started from where he finished IPL.

What A bowler at the age of 40 and that energetic celebration π#ProteaFire #CWC19
Age is just a number!
40 years two months and three days old, and he takes a wicket with the second delivery of the Cricket World Cup. Imran Tahir is a legend!

But England still managed to set a target of 312!
England's innings going backwards sadly #ENGvSA #CWC19

Looks like Faf has learnt a lot from his CSK captain!
Faf has led the side well. I know...said it earlier too. Heβs really rotated his key bowlers well. Three or four spells at crucial stages of the game. Letβs see how England responds in the last ten... #CWC19 #EngvSA

Absolutely!
Wow ! A 40 year old Tahir opens the bowling and gets Jonny Bairstow second ball of the match.

Out of the box- is this going to be the theme of this World Cup #EngvSA
Full of energy!
Tahir goes for running celebration with nobody comes in his way. #ENGvSA #CricketKaCrown
