De Kock falls after brilliant century

NEW DELHI: R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Quinton de Kock and AB de Villiers respectively in the second one-day international at Kingsmead in Durban on Sunday.

Scorecard


De Kock smashed a 118-ball 106 before Ashwin had him caught by Rohit Sharma at square leg and in the next over Jadeja had De Villiers stumped by MS Dhoni.


De Kock hit his second successive century off 112 balls and added 194 runs with Hashim Amla for the first wicket.


De Kock and Amla once again laid a solid platform for their team that is already 1-0 up in this three-match series.


Both De Kock and Amla slammed their fifties off 57 balls bringing up South Africa's 50 in the tenth over, 100 in the 19th over and 150 in the 27th over.


The solid start came after Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss and decided to field first.


A wet outfield delayed the toss for the second one-dayer and it will be a 49 overs-a-side game.


"Yuvraj Singh is not fit as Ajinkya Rahane comes in place of the southpaw," Dhoni said after winning at the toss.


The Indian team has made three changes to the squad with an unfit Yuvraj Singh making way for Ajinkya Rahane in the batting department.


In the bowling changes, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohit Sharma have been replaced by Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav.


South Africa have brought in Vernon Philander in place of Wayne Parnell.


Teams:


India: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (Capt.), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav.


South Africa: AB de Villiers (Capt.), Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock, Jacques Kallis, JP Duminy, David Miller, Ryan McLaren, Vernon Philander, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Lonwabe Tsotsobe.
