Tendulkar wasted no time in bringing up his 46th century in ODIs as he took just 90 deliveries to reach the landmark, with a single against JP Duminy in the 28th over.

Against the run of play, South Africa struck with the wicket of Karthik, who was caught at midwicket off Parnell for a good innings of 79. The right hander, who hit four boundaries and three sixes in his 85 ball knock, gave good support to Tendulkar as the duo put on a record stand of 194 from 177 deliveries for the second wicket to lay a solid foundation for a huge total.
