The tourists were tested on Saturday after two members of staff from the hotel where they are staying tested positive. Sunday’s rearranged opening one-day international in Paarl was called off 30 minutes before the start.

England players and staff are self-isolating in their hotel rooms. The opening game of the three-match series on Friday was postponed after a South Africa player tested positive for coronavirus.

The South Africa squad was tested again on Friday evening and all returned negative results. A decision on the final two matches of the series will be made once the England test results have been ratified.
