England clinch ODI series
England produced another fine display under Kevin Pietersen's captaincy to beat South Africa by 126 runs in the third one-day international at The Oval and seal the one-day series on Friday.
Ian Bell (73) and Andrew Flintoff (78 not out) took England to 296-7 from 50 overs and South Africa were never up with the rate as they were bowled out for 170 with Patel taking 5-41 to cap a memorable match.
The result put England 3-0 up with only the matches at Lord's and Cardiff left.
