SA v Australia photos

Australia win the toss and bat, Adam Gilchrist opens the batting with Simon Katich and scores a swift half century

Katich makes 79 runs of his own as he builds a partnership of 119 with captain Ricky Ponting to put pressure on the hosts

Michael Hussey joins Ponting and blasts 81 as the pair score 158 off just 96 balls to leave Australia on 374-3

Andrew Symonds and Brett Lee also add to the score but Ponting's 164 off 105 balls is the highlight of the innings

The Wanderers Stadium scoreboard displays Australia's new record one-day international total of 434 during the interval

In reply, the hosts lose Boeta Dippenaar cheaply but this only serves to spur on captain Graeme Smith who makes 90

Smith's partner Herschelle Gibbs thrills the crowd with a stunning knock of 175 that gives the hosts real hope

South Africa lose five more wickets and take the match to the last over where Mark Boucher hits the winning runs

Scenes of celebration ensue as the players enjoy the dramatic one-wicket win that gives them a 3-2 series victory

But perhaps more significantly, South Africa's score of 438-9 becomes a new record one-day international score
