Follow live coverage of England vs South Africa from the one-day international in Durham today where Ben Stokes made his farewell appearance for the 50-over side.
England’s 2019 World Cup final hero played his 105th and final ODI match at his home ground after he announced his retirement from the format on Monday. The Test skipper cited an “unsustainable” schedule as a major factor in his decision. He will remain a part of his country’s T20 team.
South African skipper Keshav Maharaj won the toss at Chester-le-Street and opted to bat first. For England, Matthew Potts, the breakout star of the Test summer, was handed a first one-day cap while Adil Rashid returned to the side after missing the series defeat to India. Sam Curran was also in. Reece Topley, Craig Overton and David Willey are the three to drop out.
