CARDIFF (Reuters) - Marco Jansen returned from injury to take two wickets as South Africa defeated England by 14 runs in the first Twenty20 International of a three-match series that was reduced to five overs in a wet Cardiff on Wednesday.

South Africa posted 97 for five in 7.5 overs after the game was initially a nine-over contest, before more rain meant it was reduced to the minimum of 30 deliveries for England's innings.
