ENG vs SA 1st ODI: Maharaj’s spell and Markram’s 86 flatten England at Headingley

South Africa crushed England by seven wickets at Headingley, skittling the hosts for 131—England’s lowest ODI total at the venue in nearly 50 years. Keshav Maharaj earned Player of the Match for strangling the middle overs, while Aiden Markram’s 86 off 55 balls powered a rapid chase. Adil Rashid’s 3 for 26 caused a brief wobble, but Ryan Rickelton and Dewald Brevis closed it out for a 1-0 series lead.
