De Kock, who is an opening batsman and wicket-keeper, scored his 5,000th run in ODIs.
While England's batsman and bowler, Chris Woakes played his 100th ODI match.
Meanwhile, England ODI captain Eoin Morgan has admitted that Proteas were simply better than the Poms in the 1st ODI match.
However, the 33-year-old batsman is confident that they can record a victory in the 2nd ODI match.
"South Africa completely surpassed us in all departments and we have no excuses," Morgan said.
"We didn't adapt to the conditions. We knew it wasn't going to be an absolute racing festival, but all the hitters, other than Denly and Woakes, really struggled to get going, which probably emphasizes that we're a little rusty.
"I think they learned a lot. Failure is a great thing to catapult you forward, learning from your mistakes," he added.
"Tom Banton and Matt Parkinson have entered and seen what international cricket looks like, that not everything is a shock, a strong blow. Hopefully, they will take it to the rest of the series.
