Former England skipper Michael Vaughan has slammed the Eoin Morgan-led side, saying that they displayed schoolboy cricket against South Africa, after losing the five-match series 2-3 at the Newlands in Cape Town.

England were bundled out for 236 in 45 overs in the fifth ODI on Sunday, enabling the hosts to chase down the score with 36 balls to spare.

Lashing out at England, Vaughan said that they failed to use their brain in the last two matches and allowed the Proteas to steal the series, Sport24 reported.
