PLAYER RATINGS: Tammy Beaumont stars as England thrash sorry South Africa

The Cricketer rates the individual performances of every player during the third women's ODI between England and South Africa

ENGLAND

Emma Lamb (65; 3-42): Has looked completely at home since coming into the England team this summer; earned her player-of-the-series gong with a hundred and two half centuries, as well as taking three important wickets with her useful off-spin 8.5

Tammy Beaumont (119): A superb ton in the first game after losing her spot in England's T20 squad; fell with more than 16 overs remaining, which spoke to her dominance up to that point 9

Sophia Dunkley (51): Her move to No.3 has been totally vindicated, carrying on from where England's openers have left off with her aggression all around the wicket 7

Heather Knight (63): A slight surprise to see her come out at No.4 but went through the gears nicely and was particularly brutal through the offside 8

Danni Wyatt (33): Terrific cameo from the former opener, whose value in this role – with a platform built for her – has been seen immediately 6.5

Amy Jones (9): Kept tidily as ever; run out pushing for late runs 4

Alice Davidson-Richards (2*; 3-35): Caught both Tryon and Kapp to end South Africa's belated resistance, and snuck in to take three wickets late in the piece 6

Charlie Dean (0; 3-42): Bowled beautifully in Sophie Ecclestone's absence, taking the key wicket of Wolvaardt to set England on their way 7.5

Kate Cross (2*; 0-50): Unusually expensive with the ball on an excellent pitch, where she struggled to stem the flow of runs 3

Issy Wong (1-50): Ought to have had Tryon caught at fine leg but was dropped by Bell; returned after an expensive start to clean up Ismail 4

Lauren Bell (0-42): Dropped a sitter but gave England more control through the powerplay than her fellow seamers 4

SOUTH AFRICA

Andrie Steyn (12): Has made starts all series but has struggled for a significant score, yorking herself as she advanced to Dean 3

Laura Wolvaardt (56): Glorious for as long as it lasted, punching beautifully through the off-side and down the ground; missed a sweep to Dean and was palpably lbw 7

Lara Goodall (24): Has looked a fine player through the last month without pushing on; once again started well and played authoritative shots before plinking to mid-on 5

Sune Luus (9): Had a poor afternoon as captain and then fell cheaply to Lamb; made several curious calls in the field, beginning at her decision at the toss 2

Marizanne Kapp (62; 0-32): Everything that some of her teammates have not been in this series, in her defiance and counterattacking; batted beautifully in partnership with Tryon 7

Chloe Tryon (70; 0-58): Having an excellent series individually and continued her fine form here, hitting three sixes in her 70 as she took on England's bowlers 7.5

Nadine de Klerk (4; 0-87): A poor outing for the allrounder, who was overbowled and expensive 2

Trisha Chetty (6): Kept well for the most part but missed a straightfoward runout chance just as South Africa got particularly ragged 4

Shabnim Ismail (6; 1-54): Only bowled seven overs and began proceedings with a front-foot no-ball, which set the tone for South Africa's poor day 3

Ayabonga Khaka (1; 0-64): The best of South Africa's seamers, though wicketless 4

Nonkululeko Mlaba (0*; 1-68): Dismissed Beaumont, enticing her to run past one that spun a touch as she looked to take the game to the left-arm spinner 4
