Much as I'd like to pick Benjamin Stokes in his final ODI game, I've veered from sentimentality and gone for Jos Buttler to top score for England. The new skipper has had a very difficult transition into his new role but his batting has still looked pretty impressive. My next selection is the South African multi-format veteran Rassie van der Dussen. The 33-year-old is a quality operator in all three forms of the game but its at ODI's that he really shines.

Van der Dussen picks up an opening run through a sliver of light in the covers which is tightly fielded. Out comes van der Dussen, and Curran sees South Africa get nothing from the remainder of the over. Potts makes his ODI debut, delivering first to de Kock. De Kock smacks the next, which is wide, but the bowl pops off the top of the bat to point for the first four. Carse comes in to bowl, delivering full to Malan who pings the ball high out to Bairstow standing at deep cover. Then van der Dussen gets his four, a reverse sweep that spins out to backward point. Stokes out to bowl now, taking a lengthy run up to deliver to Malan who chips the ball down and up in front of him. He joins Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood who are out for the rest of the season. His elbow has flared up since playing for Ashington at the weekend and scaring a load of club batsmen, many of whom lined up at square leg to play him. The South African batter picks up the next delivery nicely too, the ball sliding out to cover for a final single. There's an appeal for lbw but amidst the melee, South Africa can run to pick up a single, and two legbyes. Salt, the 12th man, is poised in the deep to mop up a strong attempt from Malan. Malan gets caught by Stokes' well-placed bounce, which pops him on the bicep. He plays another flyer, on top of the bounce which is is powered down the ground, upending a sprinting fielding.

17th over: South Africa 91-1 (Malan 37, van der Dussen 30) Malan has made a superb start to his ODI career, with three hundreds from only 17 games – the same as Stokes has from 104. 19th over: South Africa 108-1 (Malan 44, van der Dussen 38) Buttler can sniff a wicket and has shown it by giving Rashid a slip throughout his spell, but these two batters are stubbornly sticking to the middle of the bat. 18th over: South Africa 102-1 (Malan 41, van der Dussen 36) Stokes continues, and the magic still refuses to materialise. 5th over: South Africa 28-0 (Malan 14, de Kock 12) Curran is getting closer to that immaculate over. 23rd over: South Africa 130-1 (Malan 52, van der Dussen 51) Anything Malan can do, van der Dussen can do faster. 20th over: South Africa 112-1 (Malan 44, van der Dussen 42) Buttler gives Stokes a rest, which he looks as if he needs, and goes back to Carse. He does OK, conceding just four. 2nd over: South Africa 12-0 (Malan 5, de Kock 6) Here is Matthew Potts, handed the new ball ahead of his Durham team-mate Brydon Carse. He was presented with his cap by yet another Durham quick, Mark Wood, who confessed to being more nervous than he was when bowling in the World Cup final. They won’t miss Stokes the bowler, who has a mediocre average of 44 in the same period and is ranked 86th in the ODI world. Another creamy cover drive from van der Dussen, and a stunningly good shot from Malan, who sees a length ball and straight-drives it on the up. 27th over: South Africa 149-2 (van der Dussen 63, Markram 2) Rashid, enjoying his mate’’s moment in the sun, finds some extra bounce to beat van der Dussen outside off. 30th over: South Africa 167-2 (van der Dussen 72, Markram 11) Another regal shot from van der Dussen, the man of the match so far: he cuts Moeen for four, finding the gap expertly. 29th over: South Africa 161-2 (van der Dussen 67, Markram 10) As his second spinner has done the trick, Buttler summons a third – Liam Livingstone. And you could say a fourth too, as Livingstone is two spinners for the price of one, an offie and a leggie.
