Image source, Rex FeaturesDe Kock certainly likes Moeen Ali. Not in a friendly sense. More in a 'Can you bowl at me more often, please' kind of way. He collects his third six with another mighty mow.

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special"This is a good time to bowl at AB de Villiers. He's just made three noughts in Test cricket."
SA 124-2 (target 400)published at 17 overs
AB de Villiers' entrance doesn't often overshadowed. But the South Africa captain, arguably the greatest one-day batsman in the world, is now at the crease. Adil Rashid whirls away - his variations. The wind has picked up in Bloemfontein - flags whipping and shirts blowing like crazy. Is rain on its way?

In more important news, a chap in the crowd has just proposed via a message on the giant screen. I wonder if he was waiting for a wicket to fall before he gave the screen operators the signal. Don't worry, she said yes.

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special"He didn't try to hit it for six, but ended up hitting it to the longest part of the ground. It was a nice lofted drive. If he wanted to, he could have hit that harder. He didn't give it the Full Monty."

Du Plessis c Hales b Moeen 55 (SA 121-2)
Image source, APDu Plessis down the wicket once more, whipping to leg once more... but this time he doesn't quite get the distance and Alex Hales barely has to move to take a straightforward catch.
SA 118-1published at 15.3 overs
I think we can safely say that this is a batsman's game. Moeen drifts down leg and De Kock gets down on one knee to swing him high over the advertising boards for another maximum.

Is this the same Faf Du Plessis who played in the Test series? It amazes me what a change of clothing and ball colour does for some players.

Rashid keeps on tossing it up, the reprieved Du Plessis punches down the ground. This is almost entering middle-over syndrome. South Africa almost scoring at will now. Six off the over.

SA 107-1
Image source, Rex FeaturesThe milestones keep coming. Quinton De Kock follows Du Plessis to 50 thanks to another couple - and a dive to make his ground. That took only 37 balls. Well batted.

Not out. I repeat, not out. Ball-tracker suggests the ball is going down the leg side and Du Plessis survives. Smiles all round for the South Africa batsmen.

South Africa reviewpublished at 13.6 overs
Du Plessis on 50 (SA 105-1)
But Moeen gets his man. Or does he? Faf du Plessis is struck on the front pad as he works across the line. The umpire's finger goes up, but Du Plessis wants another look...

That's not what the captain ordered. A Moeen full bunger is easy pickings for Du Plessis. He doesn't miss out on those. A single then takes him to a splendid 35-ball fifty - and South Africa are a quarter of the way to their target. "Can they get these?" is the question in the office.
