- First ODI: South Africa 218; England 219 for five
- Opener Lamb leads chase with 102 from 97 balls
England secured a crushing victory against South Africa on Monday at Northampton, bowling them out for 218 in 47.4 overs before chasing down the runs with 107 balls and five wickets to spare.
An assured hundred from Emma Lamb, who had not scored a run in white-ball cricket before this match, ensured England were utterly dominant in the run chase, while Nat Sciver joined in the fun by smashing a 31-ball half-century.
