But amidst all this, Klaasen's ten overs for Netherlands went for only 2 for 43. Terrific. Just as terrific for the visitors as Markram and Miller were for the hosts on this pitch. Join PDP for the chase soon.

Vijay: "So many misses here. Markram missed his double century. Miller missed his century. And both missed a 200 run partnership by a run. "

2.05pm One period of play defined this innings - and will, in all probability, end up defining the result of this match. Markram and Miller combined to smack 113 runs in seven overs when South Africa were at 230 after 38 overs. Take that: 113 in 42 balls, a run rate of more than 16 an over. Eventually, Markram cracked 175 off 126 balls - he had entered when his side was 32 for 2 in the eighth over - while Miller bashed 91 from 61, and they totalled 23 fours and 11 sixes.

van Meekeren to Nortje, OUT, fires a yorker on middle at 137kph! Nortje makes room, and even charges down, as van Meekeren bowls full and straight. Nortje tried to slash, but the ball went underneath his bat to hit the middle stump
