    England's Adil Rashid, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's nice to be back. I love playing white-ball cricket with England. My shoulder has not been quite right for about a year now. It's gotten a lot better and I'm slowly getting better and now it's about strengthening it."

  4. 'We have to develop ruthlessness'published at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2020

    England captain Eoin Morgan: "I thought we bowled really well. We had the better conditions but the guys started really with Adil [Rashid] and Moeen [Ali] coming in and showing their value. Adil in particular, his control and variation was outstanding. It was disappointing to limp over the line. Ideally we would have chased it four or five down. We would have liked to win commandingly.

    "Tom Banton showed lot of promise, Joe Denly's two knocks were really good, Saqib came in and bowled beautifully, and likewise Parky [Matt Parkinson] in the first game. We showed a lot of promise but we need to develop our ruthlessness."

    South Africa's Quinton de Kock, who scored 187 runs at an average of 62: "We thought it was getting tight at the end. We gave ourselves a sniff and it was cool to make it tough for the England guys. Being captain takes a lot of getting used to, but the guys help me a lot on and off the field. I'm there just to make the final decisions. The energy of our players stood out for me. I really enjoyed that the most."

    England's Adil Rashid, who took 3-51: "I felt good today. It has been a while since I played and I was eager to get out there with the boys. The ball came out nicely - it was nice to play on a spicy wicket with turn and bounce."

    There were positives for England in this series.

    Tom Banton has looked comfortable again at international level. Saqib Mahmood was excellent this morning.

    How good was it to see this man back taking wickets for England though?

    Josh Verrills: England getting over the victory line is all that matters despite making seemingly harder work of it than necessary. Another series undefeated - even more impressive given the fact the attention was on player development, not series result.

    This victory means England avoid a first ODI series defeat since January 2017.

    Onto the T20s!

    It should have been a whole lot easier. England 232-4 and only needed another 25 runs. They lost four quick wickets and were in danger of throwing it away but Moeen Ali got them there.

    Target 257

    A wicket maiden from Lungi Ngidi. It's fair to say his day has improved.

    Moeen Ali, who has been calm so far, will at least be on strike at the start of the next over.

    England still need five runs to win.

    It’s fair to say no-one else is leaving now...

    This crowd doesn't know whether to come or go. Just when their side looks out of it they find a wicket to just hang in there.

    The slow clap begins as Ngidi runs in.
