South Africa win by 64 runs Zimbabwe once again showed they have the batting talent to spring a surprise but their weak bowling was punished savagely first by Hashim Amla, then Colin Ingram who made a century on debut and a brisk fifty from David Miller.

South Africa's batsmen were too powerful today and Liam Brickhill's match bulletin, which will be ready shortly, will tell you all about it. Colin Ingram is named man of the match and for all of you requesting, here is the list of players that have carried their bat through a completed ODI innings.

Thanks for all the emails, that's all from me today.
