England vs South Africa: Ngidi’s late strike seals 5-run thriller at Lord’s as Proteas clinch series

South Africa edged England by five runs in a final-ball finish at Lord’s to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series. England bowled first after a 15-minute rain delay, but Lungi Ngidi’s clever slower ball to remove Jos Buttler on 61 flipped the chase. Injuries forced South Africa to reshuffle, yet Aiden Markram’s team held their nerve at the death.
