Hendricks, Shamsi sparkle as Proteas crush England to claim historic T20 series

It's taken South Africa 13 years to win a T20 series against England in England, but with their 90-run win in the third T20 at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Sunday, that goal has finally been achieved.

Having lost the toss and given first use of the brownish pitch that wasn't as friendly as it looked, allied by a massive outfield, 50s from Reeza Hendricks (70) and Aiden Markram (51*) guided SA to a competitive 191/5.
