South Africa innings (50 overs maximum)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
LE Bosman	c Jadeja b Pathan	68	46	7	4	147.82
15.4 52.0 mph, Bosman is gone! His attacking instincts get him. He takes on long-off again, but gets more height than distance here, and holes out. What a nice little gem The Hammer has played 113/1
HM Amla	c Vijay b Jadeja	87	103	8	0	84.46
32.5 54.0 mph, Amla perishes! a string of dot balls against him, and he plays the adventurous slog sweep, gets a top edge and holes out to deep square leg 192/2
JH Kallis*	not out	104	94	5	3	110.63

AB de Villiers	not out	102	59	11	3	172.88

RA Jadeja	10	0	53	1	5.30
32.5 to Amla, 54.0 mph, Amla perishes! a string of dot balls against him, and he plays the adventurous slog sweep, gets a top edge and holes out to deep square leg 192/2
YK Pathan	10	0	66	1	6.60
15.4 to Bosman, 52.0 mph, Bosman is gone! His attacking instincts get him. He takes on long-off again, but gets more height than distance here, and holes out. What a nice little gem The Hammer has played 113/1
V Kohli	2	0	11	0	5.50

RG Sharma	3	0	28	0	9.33


India innings (target: 366 runs from 50 overs)		R	B	4s	6s	SR
KD Karthik	c Amla b Steyn	11	11	2	0	100.00
2.6 77.7 mph, slower ball, well bowled, 127ks, and Karthik is early into the shot, and ends up hitting straight to Amla at mid-off. First breakthrough 22/1
M Vijay	c †Boucher b Tsotsobe	25	16	5	0	156.25
5.2 80.0 mph, that's a brute, dug in short, Vijay is on the front foot, and the ball rises and kisses his glove on the way. Very well bowled Tsotsobe, surprised Vijay who is primarily a front-foot batsman 40/2
V Kohli	c †Boucher b Steyn	57	71	4	1	80.28
27.6 89.8 mph, edged and taken! Steyn gets another! Kohli looks to steer this one down to third man, the bowl holds its line a touch, and gets a regulation edge for a regulation catch for Boucher 157/5
RG Sharma	c Tsotsobe b Botha	48	61	3	0	78.68
24.6 63.1 mph, he has deposited a leg-side full toss straight down deep square leg's throat. Sharma goes back looking painfully at the toe end of his bat, Tsotsobe and Botha are delighted, though 135/3
MS Dhoni*†	c †Boucher b Steyn	9	7	0	1	128.57
27.2 90.7 mph, what a superb effort from Boucher! looks to whip this to on side, gets a big edge and Boucher dives full length to his right to pull this off one-handed 156/4
SK Raina	c sub (WD Parnell) b Botha	49	30	5	1	163.33
36.2 61.6 mph, another full toss gets Botha a wicket! on off, Raina goes inside out, but finds Parnell at wide long-off. Parnell seems to have moved in too much, but takes it nicely overhead 233/7
YK Pathan	c Steyn b Tsotsobe	5	8	0	0	62.50
31.2 79.6 mph, he is gone nonetheless! slightly slower delivery, goes for the big hit straight down, gets too much under it and holes out to long-off 179/6
RA Jadeja	c †Boucher b Tsotsobe	36	35	2	1	102.85
44.3 edged and taken! fourth catch to go with one stumping for Boucher, looks to run this down to third man and gets the edge. ODI catch No. 399 for Boucher 275/10
S Sreesanth	lbw b van der Merwe	1	3	0	0	33.33
37.2 58.4 mph, that's a plumb lbw! bowled from round the stumps, pitches leg, turns away, beats the bat and hits him on the back leg and in front of stumps. No doubts about that 237/8
A Mithun	st †Boucher b van der Merwe	24	23	0	2	104.34
43.3 stumped off a full toss! high full toss, Mithun misses the shot, and loses balance as the ball settles in Boucher's gloves. Boucher does well to catch him in that instant. Ian Gould calls no-ball first, then signals as if to call for the TV umpire, but changes his mind and gives him out regardless. Smoewhere there he must have realised that it's a spinner bowling and hence it's a no-ball. Well done all round, Ian Gould 273/9
S Tyagi	not out	1	2	0	0	50.00

Extras	(lb 5, w 4)	9
