Well, we've seen a lot of good Twenty20 cricket of late, but this was not up to scratch. South Africa were scrappy gifting 11 wides and a no-ball, but West Indies never really got going. Still, a much needed win for South Africa after their troubles in the World Twenty20.

McLaren is only the fourth man to take a five-for in T20 Internationals, and it's enough to earn him the man of the match award, so well done him.

Liam Brickhill will have a bulletin to tell you all about how the match unravelled and we have a gallery for the visually minded.

That's all from us, we'll back back same time tomorrow for the second game, which should hopefully prove a touch closer.

McLaren to Benn, OUT, and that is that. Benn connects with a big shot down the ground, can't quite time it well enough, Amla takes an easy chance to finish the game. McLaren has five wickets, which is a rare feat in this format

SJ Benn c sub (HM Amla) b McLaren 4 (3m 4b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100.00
