Buttler twice turned to him with the game in the balance and Archer delivered both times. However, once he and Malan had stabilised the innings, he accelerated ruthlessly and smashed a total of 13 boundaries. After Malan and Buttler's brilliant partnership came to an end, Moeen produced a thrilling cameo as he smashed 41 off just 23 balls. Having been England's most expensive bowler in Bloemfontein, conceding 81 runs from his ten overs and picking up just the one wicket, Archer was truly outstanding in Kimberley. However, Buttler turned to Archer once again and the 27-year-old delivered for his captain as he dismissed both Klaasen and Parnell to wrap up a much-needed victory. It was an innings that showcased every facet of his game, with Buttler forced to soak up pressure early on after the loss of Roy, Duckett and Brook. Despite this, ODIs are actually the format where Malan has earned the fewest England caps, largely due to the presence of Roy, Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root in the top three. Brook then failed to build on his impressive 80 in the last match as he was caught behind for five. England added 217 runs off the last 20 overs to post a total of 346-7, their second highest in South Africa. But England's seamers were able to find their rhythm after a poor start, with Archer undoubtedly back to his best as he picked up 6-40. Buttler and Malan smashed a further 117 runs off their next 64 balls, both reaching 106-ball hundreds in the same Sisanda Magala over. After 30 overs, England were 129-3 meaning Buttler and Malan had scored 115 runs off 206 balls since coming together in the sixth over.

It’s great to get a win because we’ve been playing some really good cricket in this series and we were disappointed not to win it, but we have ended on a high. Olly Stone’s bowling in two matches was a useful reminder of his quality, while Adil Rashid remains a big wicket-taking threat. Despite the 2-1 scoreline Buttler knows the grand scheme of a World Cup defence means there are other areas he can be happy with. Recent results aside, it's still a healthy picture.” Archer’s 6-40 were his best figures in an England shirt to date, but it was the way he was able to pin the Proteas back at first and then snuff out their fightback late on that had Buttler purring with delight after the game. “I think it was a really good performance,” said Buttler.

England captain backs Archer to build on promising comeback after SA ODIs.

But he has been sat on the sidelines for a long time and so if he's fit and available it makes sense for him to be playing. "We all know the levels he can perform at, so to see him get back to that kind of level so quickly is incredibly impressive. Archer could return to action for Cape Town this week, and is scheduled to play for Mumbai Indians in the IPL from April. He obviously needs to build his overs, and his resilience, to being able to bowl 10 overs a game and of course for English cricket looking ahead you want to see him playing Test cricket as well where he will be able to bowl spell after spell." The discrepancy between what people can earn playing for England and not playing for England is quite large, so that's a factor that must be considered. "It's quite a unique situation," Buttler said in the wake of England's 2-1 series loss to South Africa in Kimberley.

“Wherever people are playing, we want to pick out best available team, especially for World Cups and big ICC events, so we are open-minded,” he added. So, that’s a factor that must be considered and for each individual that will be a different decision made at differ times of their careers.” Seamer David Willey, who was part of the squad for the ODI series defeat in South Africa over the past week, is also not involved, though he does not currently have a PSL deal.
