Yadav to de Villiers, 1 run, century for the SA captain! off just 96 deliveries

Too straight and he shuffles and tucks it behind square on the on side... 

252 - 5

Yadav to de Villiers, OUT 

AB de Villiers lbw b Yadav 109

301 - 8 after 50 overs !


Familiar story for India as they concede yet another 300-plus score.

India failed to drive the advantage after having SA at an unfamiliar 28 for 3 in 8 overs.

De Kock and AB scored centuries and now the Indian batsmen once again

will have to try and clean up the mess  :-[

5.45pm: Update from the ground is that it has indeed started raining.

The covers were on early as precaution. The chase should have started by now.

I guess those at the ground can head back to the bar for another drink, or five.  ::LOL::

AB De Villiers proves again why he's one of, if not the, best batsmen in the game today. What is spectacular about De Villiers is that he is a master in all 3 formats of the game.

Kohli seems to have real problems outside of India.

INDIA has now beaten their OWN record with 10 ODI scores of 300 or more in a Calendar year..

dddaaammmnnnn....

This is the tenth instance of conceding a score of 300 or more in ODIs in a calendar year, a world record.

They eclipsed their own record of 9 in 2009.
