England v South Africa: third men’s one-day international – live

The third men's one-day international between England and South Africa is taking place in Southampton, with South Africa sealing the series. The article highlights an interesting discussion between commentators Nick Knight, Shaun Pollock, and Mike Atherton. Atherton notes that England is trying to bring its ODI and Test teams together, while treating the T20 side as a separate entity. This approach, he says, is sensible on paper but presents a "real challenge" due to the volume of Test cricket England plays. Atherton suggests that England will need to be "quite strong" in managing its players' participation in franchise cricket. The article also includes the playing XI for South Africa.
