England’s batters were facing a record chase of 331 to take their Metro Bank one-day international series to a decider, with South Africa making the early running at Lord’s.
Having been skittled for 131 in the Headingley opener, Harry Brook’s side will need to be much better second time around after the Proteas made 330 for eight from their 50 overs. No side has ever chased more than 326 at the home of cricket.
