Yorkshire’s Jack Brooks and Jonny Bairstow shone for England Lions but couldn’t prevent them from slipping to defeat in the fifth and final one-day match against South Africa A in Benoni.
Brooks was top wicket-taker with 3-55 as the hosts made 287-6 before Bairstow was England’s highest scorer with 64 as the tourists fell short on 209 all out.
