Rassie van der Dussen put on a clinical batting display to pile further pressure on Jos Buttler, under whose captaincy England have lost five of seven one-day internationals this month alone. The Proteas were patient and canny, and Keshav Maharaj now has the chance to lead South Africa to their first white-ball series triumph on English soil since 1998.

Over the course of three energy-sapping hours at a scorching Riverside Ground, van der Dussen accumulated a career-best 134 of South Africa's 333 total, without a single six struck. Flashy it most certainly wasn't, but it was a masterclass from Rassie, who combined with Janneman Malan and Aiden Markram to quietly devastating effect.
England were handed a lifeline when David Miller dropped Jonny Bairstow when he was on 18, and though he managed to rack up a 63, a scored bettered only by Joe Root's 86, England's chase collapsed after the dismissals of their top order. Ben Stokes' five off 11 balls on his final ODI appearance was the final nail in the coffin.
Conditions will be far more favorable to England at Old Trafford, and after a painful start to his fledgling captaincy, Buttler and England need to find a way to stop the rot. Three consecutive white-ball series defeats were not what Buttler had in mind when he took the reins from Eoin Morgan.
