Neil Manthorp’s report has arrived, so I’m going to wrap up. Thanks for your company and emails – goodnight!

South Africa’s captain Temba Bavuma speaks

We’re very happy with the series win. We came in under a lot of pressure, because of the points we needed for the World Cup, and I think we’ve done ourselves justice. The series win against a tough side like England … we want to challenge ourselves, and we can take a lot of confidence from the way we’ve gone about our business.

We want guys to out and express themselves, always look to be positive – almost similar to how England go about their cricket. That’s what we kept speaking about.

[Where are you mentally?] Winning the series is the main thing. I’m super happy for the team. I think I’m hitting the ball quite nicely, finding the gaps again. I’m in good rhythm, and in a selfish way I’d like that to carry on and flow into all the other formats. I’m a happy captain standing here.
