England level series to go back on top of world rankings

Alastair Cook hailed his side's character as they beat South Africa by four wickets in the third NatWest Series one-day International at the Kia Oval to level the five-match series at 1-1.

England were set a target of 212 to win as Hashim Amla top-scored for South Africa with 43 before he was removed by Jade Dernbach.

James Anderson was South Africa's main tormentor, bagging four wickets for 44 runs in the low-scoring innings, as Dean Elgar also chipped in with 42.
