CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) AB de Villiers hit a series-winning century as South Africa came back from 2-0 down to clinch the one-day international contest 3-2 over England on Sunday.

South Africa skipper De Villiers made 101 not out, guiding his team out of trouble at 22-3 as the Proteas chased down England's below par 236 with ease for a five-wicket win.

De Villiers and Hashim Amla (59) put South Africa back on track after its early troubles with a partnership of 125.

De Villiers got some big-hitting help from David Wiese at the end, with the allrounder smashing two sixes into the crowd against spinner Adil Rashid in his 41 from 32 balls.
