Right, that's all from me, Sahil Dutta, and Abhishek Purohit, thanks for all the emails. For a final word on the game do check out Liam Brickhill's bulletin which will be ready shortly.
JP Duminy is named man of the match and declares that he's 'pretty happy' with his form. The man of the series is AB de Villiers, who seems surprisingly nervous as he accepts his award. He says he has 'a lot of work do with the gloves' and insists he's 'going to work very hard at it'.
South Africa win by 272 runs and complete 3-0 series win. Tough day for Zimbabwe here, they've fought bravely with the bat until today when, faced with an impossible 400 target, they slumped to 127 all out. Fair to say it was a rout today, South Africa - led by twin hundreds from de Villiers and Duminy - were might impressive.

Theron to Nicolson, no run
classic No. 11 drive, plenty of loose movements and surprise that ball hit bat
28.4
•
Theron to Nicolson, no run
big appeal from the fielder, nothing from the bowler, who clearly has a firmer grasp of the rules because it came off the inside edge

Theron strikes! Middle stump out the ground! Theron aims a yorker, and lands it perfectly, clipping the boot and ricochetting on to middle

Theron to Utseya, no run
Duminy hits the stumps! But only with his body as he tried to slide in and under-arm flick the ball, made a hash of the throw but he cleaned up the stumps with his body

bosh! 'Av it! Bit of air from Botha, and for once Masakadza unwinds his big backlift to send this over mid-on for six

careful, pub-denying defence from Masakadza

beaten again, good stuff from Parnell, slipping this past the outside edge, he deserves to finish this off quickly

fuller, straighter, blocked. What more can I say?

Parnell to Utseya, FOUR runs
oh rats, after all that praise he bangs in a long-hop, Utseya is too good to miss out and thumps a boundary to deep square

Parnell to Utseya, no run
there is a lot to like about this Parnell spell, this is the best he's been all series, quick and with the angle across the right-hander beating the outside edge

very correctly worked to mid-off
