England (ENG) will lock horns with South Africa (SA) in the second ODI of the three-match series on Thursday, September 4, at Lord’s, London. The Proteas head into the contest with a 1-0 lead after a dominant display in the opening encounter. The hosts endured a dismal outing at Headingley, Leeds, where they were bundled out for just 131 runs. None of the English batters found their rhythm as South Africa’s bowlers dictated terms. With the series on the line, England must regroup quickly and deliver a strong performance in front of their home crowd. A defeat here would hand the visitors an unassailable series win.

Skipper Temba Bavuma’s men will now aim to maintain their momentum at Lord’s and seal the series with one match to spare. Much will hinge on whether their bowlers can replicate their brilliance from the first ODI.
