Buttler serves up thrilling century in England win

Jos Buttler struck a rapid century as England beat South Africa by 39 runs via the Duckworth/Lewis method in a high-scoring first One-Day International marred by rain on Wednesday. England posted 399 for nine in their 50 overs at the Mangaung Oval, nine runs short of their highest ODI score. On a flat track South Africa kept up with the run rate in their reply but lost too many wickets and were stuck on 250 for five after 33.3 overs when the rain came.
