After the rain stopped play, ENGLAND and SA have drawn their one day international series.

South Africa won by 62 runs on Tuesday. England followed suit with a comprehensive win of 118 runs three days later.

Headingley was supposed to host the final match on Sunday. However, bad weather forced it to be postponed.

South Africa had been playing for 27.2 overs, and were at 159/2 when it was raining. This caused two long delays that brought the match to an abrupt halt.

It was officially abandoned on Sunday afternoon at 4.05 PM BST.

England will now begin a three-match T20 series with South Africa, which begins at the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol.

The next ODI series against Australia will be held in November, following the T20 World Cup.

After Ben Stokes' retirement, England's draw against South Africa is now.

He announced the news earlier in the week by stating: "I will play my final game for England in ODI Cricket on Tuesday in Durham. This format is no longer for me. This was a difficult decision.

"I love every minute of playing with my friends for England. It was an amazing journey.

"As difficult as this decision was, it's not as difficult to accept the fact that I can't give my team members 100 percent of me in this format anymore.

"The England shirt is a symbol of pride and honor. I find three formats unsustainable.

"I feel like my body is giving up on me due to the schedule and what we have been doing, but I also feel like I'm taking Jos [Buttler]'s place and not being able to give Jos [Buttler] their best."

"It's now that someone else can make amazing memories and progress as a cricketer, just like I have in the past 11 years.

"I will do everything possible to Test cricket and, now that I have made this decision, I feel confident I can also dedicate my full commitment to the T20 format."

"I wish Jos Buttler, Matthew Mott and all the players, support staff, every success in the future.

"We have made tremendous strides in white-ball Cricket over the past seven year, and the future looks bright."

"I've loved all the 104 games that I have played, but I still have one to go, and it feels incredible to be playing my last game at Durham.

"As always, England fans have been there for me and will always be there. You are the greatest fans anywhere.

"I'm hopeful we can win Tuesday and set up the series against South Africa nicely."
