England vs South Africa LIVE: Rain washes out final ODI at Headingley
South Africa were 159 for two when play was abandoned in Leeds
England and South Africa have drawn the one-day international series after the decisive third and final match at Headingley was abandoned due to rain.
England lost the toss and were put in to bat by South Africa. It was the latest toss to go against captain Jos Buttler, who also lost out against India at the Oval and South Africa at Chester-le-Street recently.
England named an unchanged side from their 118-run victory in the second ODI at Emirates Old Trafford on Friday, with the Proteas also making no changes. Craig Overton was released from the England squad and will be available for Somerset ahead of their County Championship match at Essex, which starts on Monday.
Quinton De Kock was left agonisingly short of a century, having played expertly for 92 from 76 deliveries, with South Africa 159 for two when play was abandoned after another downpour.
