    11.4 Theron strikes! Good change from Smith and it's the big wicket! Taylor defeated by a change of pace - he tried to hoik into the leg side but only managed a top edge that sailed behind him down to de Villiers who pouched it easily. Big breakthrough 59/1

    12.6 Parnell strikes this time! Zimbabwe tottering now! Trying to run this down to third man but the touch of extra bounce and pace did for him and a de Villiers snaffles the faint edge 60/3

    11.6 gone first ball! Theron has two! Pushed across the left-hander, Williams poked at it with no foot movement at all and got a faint edge behind. What an over! 60/2

    43.1 oh dear. Taibu's gone! Or has he? Simple enough outside edge, went low to Theron at short third man who claimed the catch. The South African's were celebrating by Taibu hangs around. Eventually he's sent on his way and it ends an excellent innings. 228/7

    21.3 and he is gone! it was flighted on the middle stump, he again skipped down the track, was completely beaten in flight, and turned to hear the death rattle behind him, JP strikes 107/4

    31.5 gone this time! Ervine tries to repeat the shot but Langeveldt, the canny old fellow he is, held it back a fraction, delivering a slower-ball bouncer, Ervine through the shot too early and top-edged straight to mid-on 155/5

    38.5 Theron strikes again! Just when Zimbabwe were building a stand. Chigumbura gets some width but it's a slower ball which finds an inside edge that goes onto the stumps 195/6

    46.3 lovely, lovely slower one from Theron, cut away from outside leg stump, Dabengwa tried to work it on the on side, the bat face closed early, and the top edge balloons to the left of de Villiers who accepts his fourth catch of the innings gleefully 251/8

    47.4 gone this time! hits this one on leg straight to the man at square leg, he wanted to go much squarer, but it came of the inside half of the bat, end of a breezy little knock from Utseya 262/9

    48.2 there's no need for the appeal this time, as another beautifully bowled slower one cleans up Cremer, it was short of a good length outside off and came back in ... ever so slowly ... to go past his cross-batted swipe and hit the top of off stump, and thats a fifer for Rusty, in only his second ODI, well done 268/10

Match Notes

Zimbabwe tour of South Africa 2010-11 News

  • Play it again, Grant

    Older and a little slower, but still fit, up for it and looking to contribute, the junior Flower brother recently turned up for his first international match in six years

  • Johannesburg's sprawling retail capital

    It was not until the third day of my wanderings through Johannesburg’s sprawling central monument to consumerism, Sandton City, that I began to find my bearings

  • Smith lauds newcomers after series victory

    It was always likely that South Africa would dominate this series, but Zimbabwe's plucky performances with the bat in the Twenty20s and first two ODIs meant the scale of their crushing defeat in Benoni was unexpected

  • Duminy, de Villiers set up huge SA victory

    South Africa stamped their authority firmly on their northern neighbours in the final ODI of Zimbabwe's tour in Benoni, sealing a massive 272-run win - a record margin of victory for them

  • Chigumbura upbeat despite Benoni thrashing

    Despite a winless tour, Zimbabwe have generally committed themselves admirably in South Africa - the Benoni debacle aside - and team captain Elton Chigumbura insisted that the experience of playing top-level opponents would be helpful as Zimbabwe seek to
