In the circumstances surrounding this tour, that's a fantastic and emphatic series win. South Africa are clearly going through their own transition with so many big guns retiring in quick succession, and at times they've been their own worst enemies, but this is exactly the kind of boost England needed after a difficult Ashes.

A thrilling third ODI in Johannesburg to make up for Friday's washout. England win and tie the series, with the T20s beginning on Wednesday.

First two T20s were riveting last-ball thrillers, and the series stands at 1-1. Decider to come on Sunday.

Magnificent decider to finish off a magnificent tour and series. Bit of a flat track down in Centurion, with just the 448 runs being scored across forty overs, and England still wrap it up with five balls to spare.

Sadly but inevitably, the Sri Lanka tour has been abandoned due to coronavirus.
