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.

Labelling England's failure to bat full overs as a 'cardinal sin', the 41-year-old said that it was inexcusable to be bowled out with overs to spare in 50-over cricket.

The two sides will now head into the two-match T20 series, starting from Friday.
