(Reuters) -England batter Jacob Bethell is unsure if his first hundred in international cricket in Sunday's one-dayer against South Africa has opened the door to the Ashes squad but the 21-year-old is confident he would not let anyone down if given the opportunity.

The left-handed batter struck a belligerent 110 as England pummelled South Africa by a record 342 runs in the third and final one-dayer in Southampton.
