England clinch three-match series with a match to spare
Updated : May 28, 2017, 12:16 AM IST
England defeated South Africa by just two runs and pocketed the three match series, with a match to spare.
Ben Stokes continued his fine IPL form and scored a century of just 78 balls. England put up a mammoth total of 330 in their 50 overs.
South Africa were in cruise control to win the match when they required just 10 runs of 10 balls. But some great death bowling by England, saw the Proteas choke again.
After that twitter, slammed the perpetual chokers.
#ENGvSA for the life of me I cannot and will never understand y they keep persisting with Behardien and Duminy *utterly useless*

South Africa choked when they needed 6 runs off the last 5 balls with 5 wickets in hand. #ENGvSA pic.twitter.com/YUtIBLCwFu

Respect for SA for showing us that it's not a one time thing, choking takes work, belief, grief #ENGvSA

9 needed of 9, Miller & Morris on fire and SA still loses by 2 runs without either of them getting out. Choking is in their DNA #ENGvSA
