\nEngland entered the record books by registering their largest-ever victory against South Africa in the third One-Day International (ODI) at the Rose Bowl.
\nChasing a massive total of 415, England bundled out the Proteas for just 72 runs, securing a 342-run win \u2014 the largest winning margin by runs in the history of the 50-over format.
\nThis triumph surpasses India\u2019s previous record of a 317-run victory over Sri Lanka in 2023 and also becomes England\u2019s biggest-ever ODI win, eclipsing their 242-run win against Australia in Nottingham in 2018.
\nBatting first, England posted a mammoth total thanks to outstanding performances from their top order.
\nJacob Bethell starred with 110 off 82 deliveries, while Joe Root contributed a classy 100 off 96 balls.
\nOpening batter Jamie Smith added 62 off 48 deliveries, and wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler blazed his way to 62 off just 32 balls.
\nSouth Africa struggled against England\u2019s relentless bowling attack. Corbin Bosch top-scored with 20 off 32 deliveries as the Proteas were dismissed in 20.5 overs.
\nCaptain Temba Bavuma was forced to sit out the innings due to a left calf strain sustained while fielding.
\nFor England, Jofra Archer was the standout with figures of 4\/18 in nine overs.
\nSpinner Adil Rashid claimed three wickets, while Brydon Carse chipped in with two wickets, ensuring a comprehensive demolition of the South African batting lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
