South Africa vs England LIVE: Full coverage of ODIs – how to follow every ball live on talkSPORT 2 as series WILL go ahead

England's three-match ODI series with South Africa will go ahead as the hosts confirmed their entire team has returned negative coronavirus tests - and talkSPORT will bring you all the action starting on Sunday.

The first ODI was postponed barely an hour before play was due to start at Newlands on Friday following a positive test in the Proteas camp and any further cases would have likely led to the tour's abrupt end.

But Cricket South Africa announced on Saturday morning that the emergency screening which took place at the shared team hotel in Cape Town had shown no spread of the virus in their camp.

So now we can focus on the cricket, and having stormed to a 3-0 win in the Twenty20 series, the tourists will look for more of the same in the 50-over format.

Having gone with the same XI for all three Twenty20 wins, captain Eoin Morgan will lead a different looking side at Newlands.

Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, Dawid Malan and Chris Jordan have all departed, meaning opportunities for others to raise their hands.

Joe Root will resume his role as the anchor of the batting order, while Moeen Ali, Mark Wood and Sam Billings are equally hopeful of making the cut after extended spells carrying the drinks.
