South Africa build on massive total

Cape Town : AB de Villiers hit a magnificent 121 as South Africa amassed a huge total of 354 for six wickets in the third one-dayer against England in Cape Town.

De Villiers benefitted from some deeply ordinary English bowling which left their batsmen a near impossible task.

Hashim Amla, Graeme Smith, Alviro Petersen and Mark Boucher all played superb support roles.
