LONDON (AP) Fast bowlers Kagiso Rabada and Wayne Parnell snared seven wickets as South Africa bowled England out for just 153 runs after a top-order collapse in their third and final one-day international on Monday.
Tottering at 20-6 inside the first five overs, England crumbled against Rabada (4-39) and Parnell (3-43) in a performance that lasted only 31.1 overs. It was a dramatic turn of form at Lord’s, after England had posted over 300 runs at Headingley and Southampton to win the first two internationals.
Jonny Bairstow (51) hit a fighting fifty, but England’s middle-order looked vulnerable in the absence of rested Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes.
