Your support makes all the difference.England lost the Under-19 one-day series 2-0 to South Africa yesterday when they went defeated by 50 runs at Centurion Park. After Morne van Wyk had hit a top score of 45, Goolam Bodi smashed a six and a four off the last two balls bowled by Jonathan Powell to steer South Africa to 252 for 9.
In response, England's batsmen again committed several lamentable errors as they were dismissed for 202. Durham's Michael struck 56 not out.
