England's tight-knit squad will rally round Sonny Baker after his nightmare ODI debut in their seven-wicket defeat to South Africa, says captain Harry Brook. 

Brook was brought in for his competitive bow in the format at Headingley on Tuesday, but endured a difficult day with both the ball and the bat. 

The 22-year-old, who made his England Lions debut earlier this year, was bowled out for a duck by Keshav Maharaj, who ended the match with figures of 4-22. 

Baker then saw his first four overs of bowling result in the concession of 56 runs, and he ended with the worst figures by any England debutant in men's ODI's, at 0-76 through seven overs.

But England's overall display was poor as they were skittled out for just 131 runs, their third-lowest ODI total ever recorded at Headingley, and their lowest since the 1975 World Cup, when they managed just 93 against Australia. 

Indeed, South Africa romped to victory with 175 balls to spare, their highest such margin in a men's ODI away from home. 

Only once have they beaten England with more balls to spare in the format, which came at the 2007 World Cup, when they won with 184 balls remaining.
