Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Proteas have lost the opening match of their tour to the United Kingdom, going down by six wickets to the England Lions in Taunton on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

While it may have just been a warm-up match without List A status, the manner in which the Lions cruised to victory will be a concern to the Proteas’ brains trust.<\/p>\n

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, South Africa posted what looked to be a respectable 318\/9 in their 50 overs, with Janneman Malan top-scoring with 103.<\/p>\n

He was ably supported by David Miller (55*) and Heinrich Klaasen (51), while Reeza Hendriks and Aiden Markram chipped in with 36 and 31.<\/p>\n

England Lions treated the Proteas bowlers with little respect in their chase, however, as Will Smeed (90 off 56 balls) and Ben Duckett (85 off 67 balls) led the way.<\/p>\n

None of the South African bowlers – of which eight were used – could stem the run flow as England’s run rate reached 8.63 when the winning runs were scored.<\/p>\n

Andile Phehlukwayo (2\/45) was the most successful of the Proteas attack, while Keshav Maharaj and Dwaine Pretorius picked up a wicket each.<\/p>\n

South Africa will face the Lions again on Thursday in a List A encounter before taking on England in the first one-day international next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Scores in brief:<\/b>
\nProteas 318\/9 in 50 overs<\/b><\/p>\n

(J Malan 103, D Miller 55*, H Klaasen 51, D Payne 4\/39, R Ahmed 3\/54)<\/p>\n

England Lions 321\/4 in 37.1 overs<\/b><\/p>\n

(W Smeed 90, B Duckett 85, T Banton 57, A Phelukwayo 2\/45)<\/p>\n
