Jofra Archer: England bowler takes three wickets on return from injury in South Africa T20 cricket league Elbow and back injuries have kept Jofra Archer out for almost 18 months, but the England paceman made a fine return to competitive cricket for MI Cape Town in the South Africa T20 cricket league, taking 3-27, including two wickets in two balls. Jofra Archer picked up three wickets, including two in two balls, on his return from a near 18-month injury layoff in the South Africa T20 cricket league. In his first competitive match back for MI Cape Town, Archer had Wihan Lubbe caught out on the third ball of his opening over, which was a maiden, before taking two more wickets in his third over, in successive balls, to finish with figures of 3-27, a spell that included 12 dot balls. It took Jofra Archer just three deliveries to take his first wicket on return from injury in the South Africa T20 cricket league. Elbow problems and a stress fracture to his back have kept Archer sidelined since March 2021 but he had a solid showing on his first outing in November, bowling nine overs as the Lions took on England in Abu Dhabi before the Pakistan Test series.

Earlier in the day, Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan starred with the bat as England posted 346/7 in their allotted 50 overs after being invited to bat first. While Buttler scored 131 off 127 balls, Malan struck 118 off 114. Together, the duo hit 13 sixes and as many boundaries. The duo also shared a 232-run partnership for the fourth wicket to bail out England from 14/3. Moeen Ali also contributed with a quickfire 41 off 23 balls for England. For South Africa, Lungi Ngidi was the pick of the bowlers, returning with figures of 4/62, while Marco Jansen scalped two wickets. Sisanda Magala also took a wicket. In response, the Proteas were bundled out for 287 in 43.1 overs. Heinrich Klassen put on a fight and top-scored with 80, while Reeza Hendricks contributed 52. Temba Bavuma and Wayne Parnell added 35 and 34 runs, respectively. Unfortunately, the hosts lost at regular intervals, which put South Africa out of the contest. Besides Archer’s heroics, leg-spinner Adil Rashid scalped three wickets, while Chris Woakes also picked up a solitary wicket.

Captain Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan made centuries and dragged England back from 3-14 to post a big total before Archer blew the Proteas away with 6-40 to carry England to its 59-run win in Kimberley. Archer fittingly finished it off by bowling Tabraiz Shamsi to leave South Africa all out for 287 chasing England's 7-346. "It is good being back. It has been a long road," Archer said after the match. Archer will now head to the IPL ahead of a busy summer that includes Australia's Ashes defence in June and July, where England will hope he can replicate the venomous form of the 2019 series that saw him explode into international cricket.

This is just the first series, there is loads of time to get the fine-tuning done." South Africa had already won the series after taking a 2-0 lead and while the victory in the final game of the series was a consolation for England, it had repercussions for South Africa. South Africa is still outside of the automatic qualifying places for the 50-over World Cup in India this year and needs every win it can get. The Proteas have two ODIs left against the Netherlands to clinch automatic qualification. World champion England is already assured of a place at the World Cup. England built its daunting total in Kimberley through a magnificent partnership of 232 for the fourth wicke...

Photograph: Alex Davidson/Getty Images Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan scored backs-to-the-wall centuries but it was Jofra Archer’s stunning return of six for 40 which led England to a consolation victory by 59 runs in the final match of their ODI series at the Diamond Oval on Wednesday night. Having made an unlikely 346 for seven thanks to a record stand of 232 between the England captain and Malan the hosts refused to be cowed, despite Archer’s brilliance, but they were once again left contemplating the possibility that they could miss out on automatic qualification for the World Cup in October despite winning the series 2-1. Read more Lungi Ngidi claimed a wicket in each of his first three overs as England crashed to 14 for three when Jason Roy (1) drove to mid-off, Ben Duckett (0) wafted to the keeper and Harry Brook (6) inside-edged behind to Heinrich Klaasen. Malan paid scant attention to runs for a full 10 overs, aware that another wicket inside the first 15 overs would make a difficult recovery close to impossible. Buttler placed his pushes well and waited only for the rare poor deliveries to unleash any power. At the 40-over mark the score was an astonishing 239 for three an...

South Africa's limited overs captain Temba Bavuma has praised England, and said the reigning ODI and T20 champions are "pioneers of the game", but labelled Bazball as a "stupid term". Bavuma's side face an uphill battle to reach the 2023 World Cup in India, but believes the series against England marks a fresh start for his side. "England are probably the pioneers of the game. Guys are taking on the game a lot more and England have obviously done that very well," he sai...
