"You need to back yourself toe execute well whether it's the first ball or 100th ball," says van der Dussen, who didn't actually face 100 balls. "In the past, I maybe would have taken 15-20 balls to assess, but the conditions told me I had to get going from fairly early on."

SachinVehale: "Insane batting average after 30 matches RVDD"

It remains to be seen how good a score this is, but it was quite a recovery from South Africa after the first 20 overs or so. The hosts may feel they weren't able to fully accelerate in the final ten, but in the end, they've probably done enough to give the bowlers runs to play with. They've exactly doubled their score after 30 overs, so that's not too shabby.

Thakur to van der Dussen, 1 run, good yorker to end, and van der Dussen just nudges it into the onside for a single. van der Dussen finishes unbeaten for 129 off 96, and South Africa finish with 296

Thakur to van der Dussen, FOUR, similar shot to the free hit six. It's a low full toss, hard to get under, but generates enough power to place it in the gap around cow corner and pick up four

Thakur to van der Dussen, no run, swing and a miss. Went full and wide this time, Thakur, and van der Dussen smashes thin air

Thakur to van der Dussen, SIX, gets under that very nicely, and punishes another free hit with six. This one's over cow corner. Perfectly connected and has the maximum effect

Thakur to van der Dussen, 1 wide, banged into the pitch and it sails over the batter's head. Called a wide - the free hit still stands

Thakur to Miller, (no ball) 1 run, times it over cover, but it's just a single. India won't mind that. But oh no - that's a no-ball and a free hit!. India will mind that very much

Mohit: "2 Hundreds and still below 280. Hmmmm. Enough for Virat Century though :P" Someone's optimistic!

Thakur to van der Dussen, 1 run, steps across but only squeezes it to short fine leg. Thakur to Miller now

How close can South Africa get to 300, then?

Thakur to van der Dussen, 2 runs, in the slot, really, but he can't middle it. They rush back for a couple though

Vaibhavi: "I would still say, this is not up to the mark. See the run rate graph in live stats. It should not be a flat line for more then 25 Overs. but its flat for 40 overs. Not even a slight kink after 40."

Bumrah to van der Dussen, 1 run, chipped away to wide long-on. It looked for all the world like Rahul had misjudged it, but he recovered brilliantly to prevent the boundary and keep it down to one. Bumrah ends a really decent spell, and conceded just seven off his final over

Bumrah to Miller, 1 run, misses his length - that's a full toss, but just a single down to deep midwicket
