England were downed in clinical style by South Africa to lose their opening series of the year and continue a trend of five defeats in a row.
And the numbers don’t get any better for Jos Buttler's side who have now lost eight in ten and were beaten here by five wickets having posted the second highest total they have ever failed to defend.
South Africa overhauled their target of 343 with five balls to spare thanks in large part to a third ODI hundred for skipper Temba Bavuma and then the ice-cold match-winning skills of David Miller who made 58 not out and finished the game with a six.
