England fall to crushing defeat

England\'s run of six successive 50-over wins over South Africa ended as the hosts recorded a 112-run victory in their third one-day international.



AB de Villiers hit 121 off 85 balls and Hashim Amla, 84, as South Africa posted a Newlands ground record-equalling 354 for six.



The loss of three early wickets under the lights hampered England\'s chase.



Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood provided hope but England were all out for 242 in the 42nd over as the hosts levelled the five-match series at 1-1.



England had been keen to show that they could maintain the winning consistency required of top sides and in doing so claim an unbeatable 2-0 lead.
