Matt Venn-Moncur: Peak Moeen Ali. One ball going for a one-handed tennis shot, the next smacking the ball for six!
That Moeen Ali shot earlier? Here it is.
Part Roger Federer, part Obi-wan Kenobi...
Buttler 128, Moeen 27
It had been going so well! Wayne Parnell concedes three singles from the first five balls before Moeen Ali swings him away to end the over.
Moeen has 27 from 14 balls.
England are enjoying themselves and I did not think we'd be saying that earlier.
Wayne Parnell is the next to step up to the hitting range. Good luck...
It's still hard to judge this England total because the pitch has flattened out so much since the early exchanges.
WAIT WHAT?! Moeen Ali has just tried the most extraordinary shot I have ever seen. He shaped to reverse sweep but ended up leaving go with one hand and instead just swinging a tennis backhand at the ball outside off stump.
He missed it but he smacks the next one for six...
Malan in India? As good as he has been today I'm not sure about that.
Jos Buttler into the stands again, this time off spinner Tabraiz Shamsi. That's his seventh six.

Vineet Jacob: Roy isn't doing his CWC chances much good while Malan is providing himself as an option to the selectors. He is in form plus he is a very good player of spin. Him and Bairstow are my opening choices if CWC was to begin next month.
Buttler 120, Moeen 11
Moeen Ali joins this party with a silky swish of the blade.
That partnership by Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan was England's fourth-highest in ODIs, by the way.
Oh, Jos. This ground is not big enough. I don't think he even middled this.
Buttler 112, Moeen 5
Eight overs to go. 300 is well within reach. 340 could be a more realistic target.
Almost a speccie! Moeen Ali spoons the ball into the offside but, at extra cover, Reeza Hendricks cannot hold on one-handed as he dives back.
Buttler 110, Moeen 4
It's not going to change the approach. Moeen Ali slashes his first ball for four.
Malan c Klassen b Magala 118 (Eng 246-4)
Respite for South Africa. Dawid Malan goes again, trying to clear the leg side but the ball files off a leading edge a mile into the sky. Keeper Heinrich Klaasen steadies himself to take the catch.
A sensational innings ends at 118 from 114 balls. I'd forgive you for wanting Aymen back.
Yep, watch out in the stands. Jos Buttler sends this one clattering into the advertising boards.
Thanks Aymen.
Well these two have certainly made things look a lot different. 10 overs to go. It could be carnage...
Seamer Lungi Ngidi is to bowl this over.
Dawid Malan hits the first ball to long on for six but he's not done yet. Another big shot over long on! South Africa really need to break this partnership.
It'll be Matthew Henry to take you through the rest.
And its a century for the skipper too! He takes off his helmet and raises his bat. It's Buttler's 11th hundred in ODIs.
I was wrong, it's Dawid Malan who gets their first as he hits Sisanda Magala to the point boundary! It's his third century in ODIs.
It's a single to bring up Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan's 200 partnership. Same number of runs, same number of balls and same number of six and fours.
Sisanda Magala is to bowl this over. I think Jos Buttler will get there first...
