New Delhi: England speedster Mark Wood helped team pull off a magical victory over South Africa in the second ODI of the 3-match series at Southampton, courtesy a magical final over in which the visitors needed 7 runs to win.

The Proteas, who were chasing 331 to win, finished on 328 for five, with Quinton de Kock being the top scorer at 98.

The world`s top-ranked ODI side needed 20 off the last two overs when David Miller (71 not out) struck Jake Ball for a six and a four off successive deliveries.

Yet with a mere 10 now wanted off as many balls, South Africa -- often accused of `choking` in pressure situations -- saw Miller and Chris Morris fail to score the runs they required as Ball and fast bowler Mark Wood both held their nerve.

Eventually, a brilliant last over from Wood saw South Africa finish off the chase 2 runs short of England's total of 330.
