England win ODI series vs South Africa with 2-run win

SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) Seamer Mark Wood bowled a sensational last over for England to beat top-ranked South Africa by two runs and win their one-day international series on Saturday.

David Miller and Chris Morris batted South Africa down to needing 10 runs off the last 10 balls for victory. But medium-pacer Jake Ball conceded only three runs off his last four deliveries, and Wood gave up only four singles in a tense last over.

South Africa finished at 328-5 after England made 330-6.

Wood (and Ball) went wicketless, but gave up 48 runs in his 10 overs.
