Rilee Rossouw's unbeaten 96 laid the foundation for South Africa's commanding 58-run win in the second Twenty20 international against England in Cardiff on Thursday as the Proteas bounced back to level a three-match series at 1-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Full Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

Rossouw's career-best score at this level was the cornerstone of a total of 207-3, with Reeza Hendricks making 53 -- the opener's second fifty in as many days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi then took 3-27 and all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo 3-39 and paceman Lungi Ngidi 2-11 as England, chasing 208 to win, were dismissed for 149 in the 17th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

South Africa also held several fine catches in a vastly-improved fielding effort following a shoddy display during a 41-run defeat in Wednesday's series opener at Bristol.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England captain and opener Jos Buttler hit 16 runs in three balls from Phehlukwayo -- two sixes followed by a four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But Phehlukwayo had his revenge the very next ball, with Buttler (29) caught off a soaring top-edge by Hendricks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England were 77-3 in the ninth over when struggling opener Jason Roy holed out for 20 off Shamsi, with Hendricks making good ground to hold a low catch at mid-off.
\r\nThe Proteas then reduced England to 88-4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Moeen Ali, who in Bristol had hit England's quickest T20 fifty off just 16 balls, fell for 28 when he drove Shamsi only for Maharaj, running round from wide long-off, to cling onto the ball low down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Shamsi, whose three wicketless overs on Wednesday cost an expensive 49 runs, struck again when Sam Curran gave Maharaj a much simpler catch as he tried to clear the short, straight boundary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada dismissed Jonny Bairstow (30) when the in-form batsman uppercut at a slower-ball bouncer, with Ngidi taking an excellent catch running back at backward point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And when the big-hitting Liam Livingstone, trying to target Phehlukwayo, was caught behind for 18, the hosts were 141-7 in the 16th over before Ngidi cleaned up the tail.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Both sides were unchanged following a match England won after posting 234-6 -- their second-highest T20 total. Nevertheless, Buttler opted to field first after winning Thursday's toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

South Africa scored 32 runs off the opening three overs from left-arm quicks Reece Topley and Curran.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But off-spinner Moeen made the breakthrough when De Kock (15) mistimed a drive to mid-on.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

New batsman Rossouw, 32, hit the last two balls of the powerplay for 10 runs, flicking Richard Gleeson for six and driving him through extra-cover for four.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Hendricks completed his second fifty of the series, off just 29 balls, but was out soon afterwards when Bairstow took a well-judged catch, running back towards the long-leg boundary but stopping his momentum to avoid touching the rope.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

England thought Rossouw was caught behind down the legside by Buttler off Chris Jordan for 37 but the TV umpire ruled the ball had bounced into the wicketkeeper's gloves.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Left-hander Rossouw, a day after ending a six-year international exile having been ineligible for South Africa while taking up a Kolpak contract in English county cricket, continued to blaze away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But 'death bowler' Jordan conceded a mere four runs off the last over to leave Rossouw just shy of three figures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Rossouw faced 55 balls including 10 fours and five sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
