In what was South Africa's first One Day International appearance at Lord's, England won the toss and elected to field. For many of the South African batsman this was their first time playing on the sloping Lord's pitch, which at the start of their innings had a little moisture in and displayed even bounce.http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/155832.html England v South Africa - Final 12 July 2003 ESPNcricinfo 29 January 2012 South Africa lost their captain Graeme Smith with the score on 10, dismissed by James Anderson, and soon lost Herschelle Gibbs for 9 with the score on 30. Debutant Morné van Wyk made a quickfire 17 before he was bowled by James Anderson, in what was described as the "ball of the match". Jacques Kallis came into the match with a series average of 164.50, but was dismissed for a 12 ball duck by Darren Gough, who was England's most economical bowler, with his opening spell of 7 overs conceding just 9 runs. Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals during the South African innings, with Andrew Flintoff, Ashley Giles and Gough each chipping in with two wickets, while Richard Johnson took one. James Anderson was the only England bowler to bowl his full complement of 10 overs, finishing with figures of 3/50. Jacques Rudolph top-scored in South Africa's innings with 19. South Africa were eventually dismissed for 107, with their innings lasting just 32.1 overs. This score was at the time the lowest One Day International in the 34 matches played there and remains so to this day. England's response started poorly, with Makhaya Ntini dismissing Marcus Trescothick for a nine ball duck with the score on 1. However, South Africa could not capitalise on this, with Michael Vaughan and Vikram Solanki adding 87 for the second wicket, before Vaughan was dismissed for 30 by André Nel and Solanki was dismissed by Andrew Hall one run later for 50, however by then the damage had been done. Anthony McGrath and Flintoff proceeded to lead England home to a 7 wicket victory. Following the match Flintoff was declared Man of the Series.
