England Test captain Ben Stokes played his last ODI earlier this week in front of his home crowd in Durham against South Africa. However, his final ODI appearance didn't go as planned with South Africa took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Stokes conceded 44 runs in five overs and failed to pick up a wicket. He couldn't do much with the bat either, and got out while trying to play a reverse sweep. After Stokes played his last ODI, star batter Joe Root delivered an emotional farewell speech for his teammate and friend in the team's dressing room at the Riverside Stadium.
ENG vs SA, 2nd ODI Live Score Updates: England take on South Africa in the second ODI of the two-match series at the Old Trafford in Manchester. After succumbing to a heavy defeat in the first ODI in Durham, England will look to bounce back and take the series to the decider in Leeds. England, however, will be without the services of Test captain Ben Stokes, who played his last ODI game in front his home fans at the Riverside Stadium earlier this week. Stokes announced his retirement from ODIs, citing workload management issues. South Africa, on the other hand, will look to kill off the series with a win ahead of the final game at Headingley on Sunday. (LIVE SCORECARD)
“A perfect storm,” was Joe Root’s view of the combination of a sudden transition to Jos Buttler's ascension to the leadership combined with 12 matches in 24 days against two different opponents, zigzagging across the country with barely any time to prepare and playing on pitches unusual in England for white-ball cricket. What specifically has gone wrong and what can England do about it with a World T20 coming up and World Cup to defend 12 months later?
Proteas all-rounder Andile Phehlukwayo has been ruled out of the remainder of the ODI series against England following a concussion he sustained at The Riverside in Durham on Tuesday.
Jos Buttler has described Ben Stokes as "once-in-a-generation player", while his predecessor Eoin Morgan hailed him as a "true leader" after the star allrounder retired from ODIs, leaving the cricket world shocked. The chief architect of England's historic 2019 World Cup triumph, Stokes ended his 105-match ODI career with a forgettable 5-run innings at his home ground here in Durham as England lost to South Africa by 62 runs to trail 0-1 in the three-match series. "People who play like Ben are once-in-a-generation players, so it's a good challenge for us (as an ODI side) to work out our best way forward as a team without him," Buttler said after the match.
