England vs South Africa, 3rd ODI at London, May 29 2017 - Ball by Ball Commentary

South Africa win by seven wickets and pull the series back to 2-1. They'd sealed the match after five overs today, leaving England on 20 for 6 - the first time ever in ODI cricket that six wickets had gone in the opening five overs. Bairstow, Willey, and Roland-Jones staged a recovery but it was never likely to be enough. South Africa's opening stand was 95 and it was job done. Next stop: Champions Trophy. I'll bring you the presentations shortly.

James B: "Seems like a good time to remind England fans that before today's glitch England were averaging close to 350 for not a lot of wickets from their last 11 innings. Not time to hit the panic button. Today was about bad mentality rather than a lack of ability, this will scare some sense into them." Stop being so sensible

Man of the match Kagiso Rabada. "There was something there for the bowlers today. I struggled at a bit at Leeds...if you aren't getting better it's a bit of a concern. It's nice to bowl here, there's a bit in the wicket and some good bounce. Always a pleasure. Hopefully we can go to the Champions Trophy on a high."

Player of the series Eoin Morgan...but he won't be having a word just yet

AB de Villiers. "It looks a lot better now, we had a lot to play for today and there some encouraging signs. It was very pleasing. The boys hung onto almost everything that came their way. The intensity was very good. It comes down to the basics, top of off with the odd bouncer, and a couple of fuller ones moved around a bit. All three grounds have been different. It's all about the senior players to communicate to the rest of the team. We are pretty sure [of our best XI] but we have 15 really good players and the team can change at any time. We are very confident."

And is Morgan. "We seemed to nick everything, South Africa made the most conditions, but we've had better starts than 20 for 6. If you look at our dismissals today South Africa didn't let us get away, sometimes you have to sit in. It was a nice reminder. Today wasn't our day. Jason has scored a huge amount of runs for us, the way in which he plays is very important and it will continue to be like that. A big score is around the corner. We've gain a lot of confidence from this series. It's flattering to be favourites, today is a reminder not to get carried away but we'll give it a good crack."

And that just about wraps things up for today. There's a couple more days of build-up to go, then it's full steam ahead on June 1. We'll back for that match between England and Bangladesh. For now, from Andrew and Alan, it's goodbye and thanks for joining us.

Michael Jones: "As well as equalling the record for most consecutive centuries, Sanga would (if the light improves) be only the third batsman to score a hundred in each innings in two consecutive matches - and the second for Surrey. Tom Hayward scored 144* & 100 vs Notts and 143 & 125 vs Leics in the space of six days in June 1906, David Hookes 185 & 105 for South Australia vs Queensland and 135 & 156 vs NSW in 10 days in February 1977. Hookes's sequence earned him selection for the Centenary Test a few weeks later." Good stuff

Trevor@NZ: "Good morning from Wellington, NZ. Thank you England for making the Kiwis horror-show against India look sane!"

Rain falling again

David Willey returns
