    Now, did that pitch outside leg? That must be the only doubt - no, it pitches on leg and it's "umpire's call" for clipping off stump - so the on-field decision stands and Duminy walks.

    Duminy swings across the line and misses, is hit on the pad and given out - but with a review available, decides to take it.

    "Mohammad Naveed is moving the ball nicely away from the right-hander. You expect to see this in the sixth over, not so late in the innings."

    Tauqir is rotating his seamers here, Mohammad Naveed is back and with two overs left in his allocation, he may bowl the 47th and 49th. Behardien lofts one over the bowler's head - while the UAE are confusing matters as the substitute fielder who gives chase is wearing a shirt with wicketkeeper Saqlain Haider's name and number on. (Surely not even a superhuman fielder like AB de Villiers could keep wicket AND field in the deep?). Behardien, who's scoring almost twice as quickly as Duminy, heaves a four through mid-wicket.

    Seamer Amjad Javed replaces spinner Khurram Khan, Behardien helps himself to some ones and twos but Javed is right on the money - though the UAE nearly lose a second bowler to injury as his back foot slides out from under him in his delivery stride, but the rangy Javed is back up straight away to finish the over.

    "AB de Villiers is the first captain to be dismissed for 99 in a World Cup game.

    "Captains out for 99 in ODIs: Sanath Jayasuriya v India (Colombo, 2001) & v England (Adelaide, 2003) and Stephen Fleming v England (Bristol, 2004)."

    More pedestrian Proteas progress permeates the "Cake Tin" as Duminy and Behardien exchange singles before the latter feasts on a shorter delivery from Shazad which he powerfully pulls for four. Five overs left, what will be the target? 320?

  8. SA 268-5 (Duminy 18, Behardien 7)published at 04:17 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    It's as though we're back to middle-order nudging rather than late-order fireworks as Behardien and Duminy take six singles off Khurram's fourth over.

  10. SA 262-5published at 04:14 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    Right-hander Farhaan Behardien, whose chance comes today because of Faf du Plessis's back injury, is South Africa's seventh specialist batsman. His first ball is a full toss which he pushes back past the bowler, and no fewer than two UAE fielders manage to misfield it and they run three. Six from the over, but with De Villiers gone, at least the UAE probably won't have to chase 400 now...

  11. WICKETpublished at 04:10 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    De Villiers goes for the big one, going for his hundred - but slices the ball to short third man where an astonished Amjad Javed hangs on. Gone for 99.

    ...but he can't get the last ball away and for now is stuck on 99 from 82 balls.

  13. SA 256-4published at 04:08 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    Khurram Khan, who sent down two overs of left-arm spin for 15 earlier, is the unlikely man to put the brakes on as he only concedes four singles off his first four deliveries. De Villiers is jumping around in the crease, trying to put the 43-year-old off, and when he serves up a juicy pie outside off stump, De Villiers fetches it from outside off and slog-sweeps him for six over mid-wicket to move to 99...

    "Once AB de Villiers gets to three figures he will really decide to cut loose. He has not reached that sixth gear just yet."

  15. SA 246-4published at 04:05 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    Some good news for the UAE - the powerplay restrictions are over so they can send a fourth fielder outside the circle. They turn back to Kamran Shazad, who has a big mop of dark hair arranged in a central parting, and it looks as though he's rushing back to his mark between deliveries as the UAE have only just sneaked past 40 overs in three hours of play. Now it's JP Duminy's turn to cut loose, carving Shazad for four through the covers when the right-arm seamer offers him too much width.

    Bowlers beware. Javed runs in, giving it everything, and De Villiers flicks him for six over square leg. He's finding the gaps now, blasting another four through extra cover. A single takes him to 90 off 75 balls - suddenly he's scored 27 off the last eight balls he's faced. Duminy, happy to play the supporting role, has five from 10.

  19. SA 226-4 (De Villiers 78, Duminy 4)published at 03:57 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March 2015

    And to make the UAE pay for that dropped catch even more, De Villiers smacks Naveed for successive fours, one over his head and one through square cover, before nicking the strike with a single off the last ball.
