44.6
Morkel to Dockrell,
OUT,
finally it is over. He hits the top

James: "Dockrell's best ODI score now. And against a top quality attack."

42.5

no run,

40.3
Morkel to Dockrell,
1 run,
AB has missed the stumps.
This is hit just to his left at short cover, and Sorensen is gone by
miles if AB hits. This is a wide throw, though. This has slipped out: he
shouts Noooo as the ball leaves his hand
40.3
Morkel to Dockrell,
1 wide,
wide down the leg side. Martinesz
gets a mock cheer from the crowd as he finally calls a wide down the leg
side
Only the second time that a side has registered consecutive 200-run wins. And the first time a side has posted back-to-back 400s. Another powerful performance. From the moment Joyce dropped Amla early on, this has gone downhill for Ireland. At one point both Amla and du Plessis looked like they could score double hundreds. Neither of them could but South Africa were still authoritative with the bat. An opening burst from their attacking bowlers killed the game off after which South Africa went on an experimenting spree
