England can take heart from a brilliant bowling display as they head to fortress Newlands for Sundays series-deciding fifth one-day international against South Africa, says Nasser Hussain. The tourists suffered their second straight defeat as South Africa scraped to 266-9 to overhaul Englands 262-9 by one wicket in the fourth ODI, at Johannesburg.Eoin Morgans men appeared set to wrap up the series when the home side slipped to 210-8 after Joe Roots eighth ODI century had repaired the damage done by a middle-order slump. Watch a pick of the action from the fourth ODI between South Africa and England But Chris Morris, snapped up by Delhi Daredevils in last weeks IPL auction, was dropped by Adil Rashid on 14 and turned the tables with a scintillating 62.The balance of power has shifted towards South Africa definitely but England did play pretty well for large parts of this game, reflected former England skipper Hussain.If you can lose five wickets for 21 and still come so close to winning, it means you are putting in a lot of good performances. They were brilliant with the ball. Eoin Morgans captaincy was very good, Reece Topley was exceptional. They are not just relying on one or two players. Adil Rashid might have dropped Morris on 14, but the game would have been lost if he hadnt scored runs earlier in the day.That said, theyve lost a game they should have won and Root wont be the only distraught player; theyre travelling to Cape Town on Saturday and now have to play at fortress Newlands.Only two sides in the history of the game have come back from being 2-0 down in a one-day series, so England could snatch defeat from the draws of victory and they will be under pressure. We hear from AB de Villiers, Eoin Morgan and Chris Morris after South Africas win over England in the fourth ODI England paid the price for shelling three catches, Jason Roy and Alex Hales also missing chances before Rashid dropped Morris off Topley at mid-off.It was a match of small margins, said Hussain. Morris hit the ball up in the air on 14 and Rashid drops a catch he would have taken 99 times out of 100.England would then have been into the tail but as it was Morris went on and played brilliantly. You can see why Delhi have bought him in the IPL.He will have been under a little bit of pressure because quite a few South Africans were questioning if he was worth what he went for in the IPL auction but on his home ground in a losing situation the pressure was off him a little and some of the striking he did was absolutely brilliant. Watch this brilliant one-handed catch from Topley during Englands ODI against South Africa I dont think you can take anything away from how well South Africa played at the end; I dont think England could have done anymore apart from take those catches that they grassed.To defend a score like that you have to be perfect in the field. You drop AB de Villiers and JP Duminy and you think they are going to hurt you but they dont; you drop Morris who you dont think is going to hurt you and he does and thats the game gone there.Watch the fifth and final one-day international between South Africa and England live on Sky Sports 2 this Sunday from 7.30am.

IRVING, Texas -- With Rolando McClain suspended the first 10 games of the regular season and inexperienced depth across the linebacker position, the Dallas Cowboys signed Justin Durant to a one-year deal on Monday.Durant was a starter for the team in 2013 and 14, serving as a defensive captain in his last season. He signed a free-agent contract with the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 but was released in February.McClain was re-signed to a one-year deal in March that included a $750,000 signing bonus and is worth up to $5 million. If the Cowboys release McClain, which remains possible, they would not be able to recoup any of the signing bonus.McClain skipped most of the voluntary offseason program, tending to what coach Jason Garrett called family issues. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said the team gave McClain some slack in working out with the team. He showed up for the mandatory minicamp in June but was held out of drills because he was not in good enough condition.Durant started 12 games for the Falcons last season and was the second-leading tackler on the team with 82 stops, including three for losses. But he also missed three games due to calf and elbow injuries.Durant was productive in his time on the field with the Cowboys, but he missed as many games (16) as he played (16) bbecause of injuries.dddddddddddd In six games in 2014 he was credited with 59 tackles to go along with four tackles for loss, two quarterback pressures, one interception, four pass deflections, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery before suffering a torn biceps.He missed three games last season in Atlanta with a sprained elbow and finished with 82 tackles.Durant can play all three linebacker spots for the Cowboys. Anthony Hitchens is penciled in as the starter at middle linebacker for McClains absence. The Cowboys could prefer to keep Sean Lee at weakside linebacker after he led the team in tackles last season despite missing two games.The only current Cowboys backup linebacker with significant experience is Andrew Gachkar. Kyle Wilber could start at strongside linebacker;?Damien Wilson and Mark Nzeocha saw limited playing time last year as rookies. This years second-round pick, Jaylon Smith, is expected to miss the season as he recovers from a knee injury.To make room for Durant on the 90-man roster, defensive tackle Casey Walker was released.The Cowboys will fly to Oxnard, California, on July 28 and hold their first training camp practice on July 30.
