Cricket World Cup: England beat South Africa

From Morning Report, 6:44 am on 31 May 2019

The Cricket World Cup is under way and hosts England have made a commanding start to their bid for the title, beating South Africa by 104 runs in the opening match in London. England, one of the tournament favourites, got off to a shaky start, losing opener Jonny Bairstow for a duck. But they quickly recovered to put up a total of 311 for South Africa to chase. Joining me now from the UK is cricket commentator and former Black Caps bowler, Iain O'Brien.
