Parnell collects his fifth wicket to secure career-best figures of 5-48 as Anderson is given out lbw to a swinging full delivery.
South Africa vs England, 3rd ODI at Cape Town, Nov 27 2009 - Match Result
Andrew McGlashan has all the thrills and spills from the game in his bulletin and that's it from me and Andrew Miller.
Hope you'll join us for the next game on Sunday at Port Elizabeth, starting at 10am (8am GMT), for what we all hope is a sightly closer contest.
Graeme Smith commends De Villiers for showing responsibility and guiding the team to a big score.
Man of the match today goes to AB De Villiers for his sparking 121 from 85 balls. Reflecting on his innings he says that credit must go to the openers for giving him a good platform.
Strauss commends South Africa for their all-round display but insists England won't get overly worried about their performance today.
Well that is that. South Africa complete a crushing victory by 112 runs and maintain their brilliant record on this ground. The match was as good as sealed with AB de Villiers' brilliant hundred. They will be pleased with the comeback of Morne Morkel and Wayne Parnell, both looked sharp and could figure later in the Test series.
England never really got going with either bat or ball and would have been slightly concerned with Broad's wayward return from injury. Collingwood deserves plaudits for again batting impressively.
Anderson shapes to punch through the off side but misses
Swann is sporting a kind of beard that matches England for shabbiness, and he gently eases this ball to long on for a single
Right, that's enough from me. Here comes Sahil to steer this one to the finish
short, struck sweetly enough out to deep cover
ambitious wipe across the line, again no real contact
attempted slash through the covers, but no real contact
Still, that does at least confirm that there is absolutely nothing left to see in this game
hmmm ... that's not a mongoose after all. Scratch all of the above.
clubbed down the ground and here we go ...
no chance to see the mongoose in action yet, as Swann keeps the strike
Here comes James Anderson, armed with a mongoose. As well he might be, no point in using a bat in this situation
The newcomers to the South African attack have claimed seven of the nine wickets. Who said their attack was flat?
that's a cracking delivery. If you can't rely on the fielders, do it with the ball instead. Full length, zipping off the seam, and detonating leg stump as Broad swishes through the line.
after that excitement, it's back to a more conventional single
dropped, and that's a bit of a howler. A top-edged spiralling opportunity to Johan Botha at backward square. He clings on easily enough at first, but then drops it as he slides, and farcically tries to imply he had some measure of control. Umm ... not exactly
flicked square
slower ball again, but Broad sees that all the way, and thumps it over the covers. Top shot
good delivery to finish, and Morkel's figures are looking mightily impressive
full length, driven down the ground
Here comes Graeme Swann, a man who likes to tonk the ball. Let's see what he can do here
That incidentally was Smith's third catch of the innings, the first South African to achieve that feat in an ODI against England. At Newlands. On a Friday. In November ... etc. Well done him
slower ball, Bresnan has a wipe, Smith backpedals at mid-off, and that's the end of that
worked into the gap, but singles are not enough now
that's a lovely ball for the situation. Full to tempt the drive, and zipping past the edge
