He finished with 4-18 and Adil Rashid 3-13.Though the series was already gone, this was a morale-boosting win for England after a difficult run in the 50-over format.The same sides now play a three-match T20 series starting on Wednesday in Cardiff.Could brilliant Bethell give England Ashes conundrum?Published3 days agoBethell says he should have 'played more' in 2025Published3 days agoEngland seal biggest winning margin in ODI history - as it happenedBethell comes of ageTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, Bethell scores 'magnificent' first hundredAs dead rubbers go, England could not have asked for more.Yes, the thumping win is largely irrelevant but a breakout innings for a player the hierarchy rate so highly made it a near-perfect afternoon.Bethell's summer has been curious. Having given up his Test place by staying at the Indian Premier League, he has barely played. Before this match, he admitted he had made a mistake by playing so little cricket.But rhythm that was relocated in scoring 58 at Lord's on Thursday was on full show again.He was again promoted to number four to take on the world's top-ranked bowler, left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, and thrived with that responsibility and time.An early straight six, one of three in his innings, against Maharaj settled Bethell into his work after which he pounced to pull anything short. One of those pulls was spilled by Nandre Burger at mid-on and there was also one top edge over the wicketkeeper but otherwise he stroked 16 eye-catching boundaries.Bethell spent just four deliveries in the nineties but at no stage looked flustered.He reached three figures by crashing through the covers and celebrated with his arms wide as the crowd cheered. This will surely be the first of many.Root capitalises on South Africa's bad dayTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, Smith survives after 'astonishing' Breetzke dropFor all England were good, South Africa were similarly bad.Before the Burger miss, Matthew Breetzke comically put down Jamie Smith on 23 when a leading edge from the opener, whose 62 put England on the front foot, looped to him at extra cover.Afterwards, Root played the most Rootian of innings as the anchor.He only hit two boundaries in reaching 50 and, though he did later hit one trademark reverse scoop, he largely accumulated. His dot ball percentage in reaching three figures was the second lowest in any of his 19 ODI tons.Skipper Hary Brook bizarrely ran himself out after Bethell was stumped off Maharaj looking to continue the assault in the second half of the innings.That only brought in Buttler, perfectly-timed for England in the 41st over, and he drove, ramped and pulled to provide a finale reminiscent of the hosts at their best.In addition to the drop, Burger finished with 0-95 – the worst figures for South Africa in the format – while Codi Yusef's 0-80 were the most expensive by a Proteas debutant.Archer thrills againTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This video can not be playedMedia caption, Best bits from Archer's 'rapid' spell against South AfricaBy the time they came to bat in gloomy conditions with the floodlights on, South Africa looked a beaten side.Aiden Markram nicked a wide delivery from Archer second ball and a sorry slide followed.Archer's pace topped 93mph. He nicked off Ryan Rickelton, bounced out Breetzke, whose run of reaching fifty in each of his ODI innings ended at five as he made four, and had Tristan Stubbs taken at second slip.At the end of his first seven overs he had remarkable figures of 4-10 and though he did not find a fifth when he returned in search of the final wicket, his burst provided another jolt of excitement now that he is back fully fit.'A great feeling' - what they saidEngland batter Jacob Bethell to BBC Test Match Special: "It feels pretty good. A few emotions pouring through, but it feels unbelievable and to do it, and in a convincing win like that, it's even more important."I wouldn't say relief, I don't listen to what people say to be honest. It was nothing to do with other people - I wanted it for myself and the team. It was a great feeling, an addicting feeling and hopefully more to come."Player of the match, England bowler Jofra Archer: "I just tried to hit the pitch hard and bowl straight and that's it. Sometimes, you're going to bowl well and come out with nothing like at Headingley then some days you'll get some like today."I'm feeling good. I didn't think I would play this one, in the past it would've been like workload management but getting to play three games in a row, that means a lot."South Africa captain Temba Bavuma: "We were just poor to be honest, in all departments. Our fielding really let us down. The extras as well with the ball, far from ideal. "With the bat it was always going to be tough, and their bowlers really put us under pressure, Archer and Carse, we didn't have a chance."To sum it up - a poor game of cricket from us."Related topicsEngland Men's Cricket TeamSouth AfricaCricketMore on this storyNotifications, social media and more with BBC SportPublished16 AugustComments can not be loadedTo load Comments you need to enable JavaScript in your browserView comments | 645
