Following the 62-run loss to South Africa in the first ODI, England captain Jos Buttler admitted that the side's bowling unit could not 'find that spark with the ball'.
 
Rassie van der Dussen and Anrich Nortje did well for South Africa, helping the visitors hand England a 62-run defeat in the first ODI of the three-match series at Riverside Ground on Tuesday. 

"I thought it was a good toss to win and we could not find that spark with the ball. It was a fantastic partnership between Rassie and Markram and we were not able to break that. We have to pick wickets in the middle part of the game and they batted well, used the pockets of space in the field perfectly and ran hard," said Buttler in a post-match presentation.
