Tobias Haines:, external Why are the rest of the World playing ODIs like 20/20's and England insist on playing them like short Test matches?

Frank Meehan:, external This is why Martin Crowe is right about restricting bat development. It's getting to be pointless to be a bowler.

Taylor steers an attempted yorker from Abbott down to the long-on boundary to move West Indies to with three of avoiding that heaviest defeat total of 118. The tail-ender almost goes a couple of balls later as he skies a flashing drive towards third man. Two men converge on it but it bisects them and drops safe.

Tahir has five wickets to his name and now he has a rare maiden as he pins Taylor down at the striker's end.

Abbott returns to the attack and wraps Holder on the pads, but he is outside the line and the lbw shouts from the bowler are in vain. The new man is Jerome Taylor, who has an eventful over, getting off the mark with a single, taking one in the box from Abbott and then surviving what replays show was a clear lbw because South Africa didn't review.

"Tahir is the first spinner to take five wickets in World Cup match for SA. The previous best was 4-12 R Peterson v Bangladesh at Mirpur in 2011."

Earlier on we witnessed something truly special from AB De Villiers. Here's the lowdown on a knock and a half...

Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

"Very well bowled. This game is meandering towards the close. Are they going to get to 119 and avoid the worst defeat?"

The game was suffering a bit of a lull but Tahir perks it up again by flighting a ball through the defence of Ramdin and onto the stumps. That is five-for for the leg-spinner. He celebrates by dropping to his knees and pressing his forehead to the turf.

"I feel privileged to have witnessed AB's batting tonight."

West Indies' only realistic target now is to try and avoid the heaviest defeat in ODIs. They need to reach 118 to do so. Ramdin gets them four closer with a sliced cut down to the third-man boundary off Du Plessis before he and Holder add a single apiece.

Holder thrashes another boundary off Tahir through cover but he is clearly still struggling with whatever injury brought the physio on a few overs back. He is hardly mobile in the crease, opting instead to stand tall and swing.

"De Villiers is becoming like Madonna now. Or Prince. All you have to say is AB and people know who you are talking about."

Du Plessis continues and concedes six more runs as the Windies pass 90. These two batsmen are doing ok, to be fair, not that it will make a jot of difference to the outcome of this match.

The Windies still have some bite in them as Holder illustrates with a huge hit off Tahir down the ground for six. Only four more from the West Indies captain and he will be six neutral for the match.

It is not often South Africa have a team seven down for 70-odd and Steyn hasn't taken a wicket. He is withdrawn and replaced by spinner Du Plessis, who gives the West Indies the gentlest over they have faced all innings. hey take four from it to creep that little bit closer to three figures.

Holder takes some of his frustration out on Tahir by smashing the spinner over the rope for a six. You can't begrudge him that. He's had a stinker of a day.

Holder's day isn't getting any better. He is flat out and the physio is on and pushing his leg to treat an injury (cramp maybe?). Or he may just not fancy facing Steyn in these circumstances? However, from that position on his back, he is in a good place to try and spot some of the balls De Villiers hit off him returning to orbit. Just the one run off Steyn's sixth over as Ramdin cuts one to deep point.

Captain Holder comes out, no doubt still shell-shocked after the total pummelling he took from De Villiers earlier. He sees off the last two balls of Tahir's over for no runs.

The West Indies are completely falling apart now. Andre Russell lasts just three balls, the first of which saw him survive an lbw call and the third he chopped to point for the diving Abbott to claim just a few inches above the ground. It is a superb catch and leaves the chasing side in total disarray.

Great work by Tahir and especially De Kock sees off Sammy. The spinner beats the advancing batsmen and the keeper whips off the bails before he can plant his foot back inside his ground.
