Remember when South Africa were at 12-1? Well, that seems a lifetime ago now. A partnership of 160 from 170 deliveries has followed, although both players have been dropped. Amla when he was on 10, Du Plessis on 19. Only three off a tight over from George Dockrell.
Hugh in France:, external It's impossible to watch other teams without comparing them to England. And everyone seems to play the game better.
Well Richard's wife, kidney and pants are at stake here. But, at the moment, it looks like they will remain in their current positions. South Africa add another six runs to the total.
Richard Tatham:, external Am prepared to sell wife, kidney and underpants for an Irish victory. Not the pet, obviously; I will need company in the dog house.

"Ireland will be chasing in excess of 300. Amla and Du Plessis have tucked into this Irish bowling. It has been an onslaught and they're taking singles at will."
The spin of George Dockrell comes back in to play and the Somerset man will have delighted his skipper with exactly what Ireland needed - a tight, well-disciplined over, with only three runs coming off it.

"A lot of the promotion for this game has been 'come and watch AB de Villiers bat'. They may not get a chance today."

Andrew McBrine steps up, seeing if he can stop the opponents. He can't. Du Plessis sweeps one over square leg for four, before another four singles. In boxing terms, Ireland are on the ropes, taking a battering. There will be no one jumping in to stop it though.

"It looks to me like Amla has deciding everything has got to go. He's such an elegant player to watch and such an example for anyone watching on how to bat."
Just on cue, Amla has had enough of threes and fours from the over. He launches successive sixes. The first one a slog over long-on, a second one over cover soon follows.
Amla then blasts a four and adds a single. Du Plessis, feeling left out, launches Max Sorensen for a six of his own. The highest scoring over of the match - 23 off it, including three sixes. Marvellous to watch for a neutral. Painful if you're Irish.

The team winning the toss have won all matches at Canberra in the World Cup so far. Well, we might as well all go back to bed then.
But records have to end at some time. Can today be that day?
South Africa won the toss here, and are dominating. Four off the over, but a cricketing storm is coming. Not to be confused with an actual storm. The weather is fine.
The partnership is already 112 between Amla and Du Plessis. And the worst thing for Irish fans is they look completely comfortable, under no pressure and ready to accelerate at any moment. What can William Porterfield do to change this? Who does he need to look at?

"William Porterfield really is one of the best fielders in world cricket - he is outstanding in every position. He's one of the busier captains. Michael Vaughan, a past Ashes-winning captain, has remarked on the quality of Porterfield's leadership."
Eight an over from here would take South Africa to 350. A total that will surely be too much for the Irish. Three more from the 21st over. Two singles from Amla, one from Du Plessis.
Damon Bailey:, external Just a reminder, Jason Holder went for nine runs off his first five overs too. Landed up with over 100 to his name by the end.

"The spinners are bowling too short. They look a bit rusty or tense; they need to relax."

Ireland are rattling though the overs, and South Africa are keeping the scoreboard ticking off nicely. They made 408 in the last match. They are getting ready for another huge total.
