4.52pm Hope raises his bat as he walks back to WI's dressing room. His 128* on captaincy debut has carried WI to 335 for 8 - their highest total vs SA in ODI cricket. Here he is: "I feel good about it and it's a decent score. It [The pitch] was a bit slow and difficult to score. It was difficult to strike the ball once they put it in the surface. We have the ability to defend the total. I believe I can bat anywhere. I have the belief in myself - wherever I bat. I just trust my skills and believe in myself. As simple as that." Himanshu will be back after the break to kick off SA's chase.
