England and South Africa will meet in the third and final ODI of their three-match series on Sunday, July 24, at Headingley in Leeds.

The hosts made a solid comeback after losing the first game, beating South Africa by 118 runs in Manchester to level the series. In a game reduced to 29 overs per side due to rain, England went all guns blazing batting first, putting up 201 runs on the board despite being bowled out in 28.1 overs.

Liam Livingstone (38), Sam Curran (35) and David Willey (21) made key contributions after they the hosts reduced to 72-5. England then bowled out South Africa for a paltry 83 in 20.4 overs to register a massive win. Adil Rashid was the pick of the English bowlers with three wickets, while Reece Topley and Moeen Ali chipped in with two wickets apiece.

Heinrich Klaasen top-scored for South Africa with 33, but the rest of the batters struggled to get going. It was a disappointing batting effort from the visitors, and they'll need to pick themselves up in the final ODI.

Earlier, Dwaine Pretorius impressed for South Africa, picking up four wickets as he ran through England’s top order. Anrich Nortje and Tabraiz Shamsi complemented him well with a couple of wickets apiece.
