we start in durham where england were beaten in the first one day international against south africa, losing by 62 runs. a century from rassie van der dussen helped the tourists to 333 for 5 from their 50 overs. england started their reply very well, the opening partnership ofjason roy and jonnie bairstow putting on more than a hundred for the first wicket. but after that england faltered, ben stokes was out forjust five in his final odi. he recieved a standing ovation from the durham crowd. joe root top scored, eventually falling for 86, england all out well short of their target. the sides meet again at old trafford on friday. speaking before todays match, ben stokes told the bbc that his retirement from the one—day game should serve as a warning over an increasingly congested cricket schedule. i feel like there is just too much cricket rammed and for people to play all three formats now. it's a lot harder than what i think it used to be. it looked back when i was

doing all three, it didn't feel like it was this jam packed and everything like that. you know, you obviously want to play as much cricket as he possibly can, but when it is making you feel tired and sore and you've got to look towards, i don't know, five or six months down the road of what you are doing in the road of what you are doing in the here and now, it is probably not the best thing. onto football where england players have tried their best to keep cool, as they prepare for their quarter final against spain in the women's euros tomorrow night. they wore ice vests after training in london as temperatures neared 40 degrees. natalie pirks reports. beating the heat while the country sizzles. training was earlier today with cooling wraps and ice vests used to regulate temperatures. keeping an eager eye away from the cameras was the head coach. she has had covid and could yet miss the match tomorrow, but when asked about the magnitude of the occasion for the magnitude of the occasion for
