Matthew Breetzke became the first batter in one-day international history to pass 50 in his first five innings with a brilliant score of 85 to help South Africa to a formidable total of 330-8 before a consummate bowling and fielding display earned South Africa a nail-biting win by just five-runs in the second ODI against England at Lord’s on Thursday.
