Once Rickelton was dismissed by Archer, van der Dussen and Klaasen settled in and built a vital partnership, taking South Africa closer to the target.

Klaasen, returning to action after missing earlier matches due to a soft tissue injury to his left elbow, played an aggressive knock, hitting 11 boundaries in his 56-ball innings.

Van der Dussen hit six fours and three maximums during his unfinished innings.

Six runs from the target, Klassen was caught by Saqib Mahmood off Adil Rashid (1/37) for a consolation wicket.

David Miller then clobbered a six to knock off the winning runs and seal the victory.

In his final game as England’s ODI captain, Jos Buttler won the toss and chose to bat, but the decision backfired as Jansen wreaked havoc early, reducing England to 37 for 3 by the seventh over.

Opener Phil Salt (8) top-edged a rising Jansen delivery, while Jamie Smith (0) failed to handle a short ball and followed Salt back to the pavilion.

Ben Duckett (24) then perished to a caught-and-bowled effort by Jansen, as England’s top-order collapsed.

Harry Brook (19) and Joe Root (37) attempted a recovery with a 62-run stand, but just when the partnership seemed to gain momentum, South Africa struck twice in quick succession.

Brook fell to Maharaj as Jansen took a superb catch in the deep while Root’s off-stump was sent cart-wheeling by Mulder.

England’s woes continued as Liam Livingstone (9) and Jamie Overton (11) quickly fell, leaving the side in disarray at 129-7 in the 26th over.

Buttler (21) and Jofra Archer (25) added some respectability to the total with a partnership of 42, but Archer was dismissed by Mulder, and the England skipper was then removed by Lungi Ngidi with a slow ball.
