England v South Africa: Tammy Beaumont century helps hosts to comfortable win in third ODI
Beaumont 119 , Lamb 65 ; Khaka 2-64England won by 109 runs; lead multi-format series 8-2A brilliant century from Tammy Beaumont helped England to a dominant 109-run win in the third one-day international against South Africa, and ensured they cannot lose the multi-format series.
Having done so for the first time in the second ODI, England's top four all scored more than 50 again as Sophia DunkleyIn reply, Laura Wolvaardt made an eye-catching 56 before Charlie Dean removed her for the third time in the series as the tourists fell to 109-4. Lamb, dropped on 35 and 54, was bowled by Shabnim Ismail as she looked to ramp away, but it was another innings that demonstrated she is consolidating her spot at the top of the order.
Dunkley was caught at long-on off Nadine de Klerk, before Danni Wyatt capitalised on loose bowling to bludgeon a 14-ball 33. But 21-year-old off-spinner Dean stood up and yorked Andrie Steyn with her first ball to get the crucial breakthrough. Being able to make changes and still bowl a side out in the warm conditions will have delighted Knight and head coach Lisa Keightley, with a new World Cup cycle under way."It is really pleasing. We came away from the World Cup and challenged the girls to be better in a few areas and we've blown them out of the park.
