South Africa have won the series 3-2, beating India by a emphatic margin of 214 runs. 3 hundreds on the Proteas side - Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis, and the inimitable AB de Villiers. India were never really in the game today, but Rahane tried his best with a classy 87 off just 58 balls. There will be questions asked of Dhoni now. India have lost the Twenty20 series, lost the ODI series. This is South Africa's first ODI series win in India, in 6 attempts.

Wide ball from Rabada. He should finish this off.
No more runs off the next four balls.
FOUR. Mishra backs away, has a go at a short ball, the ball sails between keeper Kock and first slip for four.

Over 35
OUT! Dhoni is cheated in the air by Tahir, he had come down the track and played a wild slog, it was the googly. Dhoni is gone. Could this have been his last shot as ODI captain?

Now a single. AB is on 99 off 56 and it seems so normal that the commentators make no mention of it.
Mohit bowls a very wide ball to delay the ignominy for a minute.
Another wide. It's finally gonna happen, Mohit, let go.
Another attempted wide, but it is a full toss outside off. AB slogs it to deep extra cover for two. 100 in 57 balls.
Pitched up outside off, AB slogs like a whip, six over deep midwicket again. SA 384/2 in 46 overs.

David Miller has come in.
Could there be an SA collapse? AB is always vulnerable at this stage.
AB goes for the reverse sweep, flatter ball, hits him on the back leg. Big appeal, but the ball was outside off.
Full ball, slogged to deep midwicket, almost a six. Brilliant fielding by Rohit Sharma there. He had caught the ball, but he was going over the boundary so he threw it back in just at the right moment.

Over 44
SIX! Now after a first ball single, Faf has hit Bhuvneshwar for six over extra cover. It was a low full toss and he stayed on the back foot.
Slower ball, Faf goes for the scoop-flick, misses and the ball goes to the keeper. 129 is now Faf du Plessis' best ODI score.
Good ball. Faf moves his back leg towards leg stump to give room. Bhuvneshwar bowls outside off and Faf has to rue the missed chance.
FOUR. Simple. Low full toss outside off, slogged for four over extra cover. Faf is limping. 350 up in the 45th over.
Slower ball outside off, Faf misses with the pull. SA 351/2 after 44 overs.
SIX! This is like a very entertaining masochistic game. Down the track, on one knee, Faf crashes the ball for six and then falls backwards dramatically holding his leg. Dhoni gives some treatment.
Cramp is never funny when it's you, but watching du plesis batting, and cramping up after every shot is breaking me!!!! #INDvSA

This pitch is offering nothing for the bowlers.
SIX! Now he has hit a one handed shot for six. He is jumping up and down every time he plays a big shot. Some toe injury - or merely a cramp. Now he's down on the ground.
