2005 South Africa vs England, 2nd ODI at Bloemfontein | Kevin Pietersen 108* (96).
At Bloemfontein, February 2, 2005 (day/night). Tied. Toss: South Africa. One-day international debut: A. B. de Villiers.
Memories of great South African chokes from the past were rekindled as they failed to score three runs from the last six balls to win, producing the 20th tie in 2,219 one-day internationals, and South Africa's fifth in less than six years. The word "eventful" barely does justice to the last over. It began when Boucher swung a chest-high no-ball from the inexperienced Kabir Ali to the boundary, before pulling another full toss straight to Giles in the deep; continued with Prince being run out by Bell; and ended with Hall stumped first ball on a dazed meander from the crease. England celebrated like winners, which they expected to be when Pietersen struck 108 not out from 96 balls, a maiden hundred for his adopted country. With four sharp chances either going to ground or falling short he enjoyed enough good fortune to last an entire series, and the kiss he planted on his helmet after reaching three figures may have been the most passionate-looking ever witnessed on a cricket field. Pietersen's fifth-wicket stand of 92 from 79 balls with Collingwood appeared decisive, but Kallis and Gibbs manoeuvred the ball simply and effectively in mid-innings before Kemp upped the pace to produce the tense finale.
Man of the Match: K. P. Pietersen.

00:00Next to Bloemfontein with England's players in the mood to extend their lead in the series.
00:14South Africa had to respond.
00:19Back came A.B. de Villiers to open the batting. Andrew Hall replaced Boyer in the bowling attack.
00:26As England were put into bat.
00:29Here's the first ball.
00:31Runs for Truscovic straight away. Big ground this. Huge playing area.
00:39Well, play your natural game.
00:46That's Truscovic at his best. He loves to do that.
00:52He's dragged it on.
00:58Oh, that's a simple enough catch.
01:08That's a clever shot.
01:10Four runs nicely played over where Slip might have been.
01:13Shout to catch it. And the question is will the finger go up? And there's the answer.
01:23That's well positioned.
01:27Absolutely bisected those fielders at extra cover and mid-off.
01:34Well, he's put it either side of third man. He's really having to race home for that one.
01:47The throw was perfect.
01:49It's red for out.
01:52It's a crashing shot.
01:58Best shot we've seen for a while this afternoon.
02:02Brings up the 1.50.
02:03That's 50.
02:08It's lifted away.
02:10Prince.
02:15And that's 50 for Kevin Pedersen.
02:17Great start to his international cricket career.
02:24That's lofted high.
02:25That's gone a long, long way.
02:27Sales into the crowd for six.
02:29Oh, that's four.
02:36Beats the man at extra cover.
02:42This one should be out.
02:44Maybe Devineas is under it.
02:45He takes the catch.
02:47Paul Collingwood goes.
02:52That's beautifully played.
02:54This goes all the way over the top.
03:00And that is a fantastic shot.
03:04That is a fantastic shot.
03:08That's it.
03:10He's got his first one day hundred.
03:12Absolutely magnificent innings.
03:14I think he's enjoying that moment.
03:26Well, that's hammered.
03:27And that's going to be four more.
03:28It's a full toss outside that stump.
03:30This is not what South Africa wanted.
03:3477 runs from the final ten overs.
03:36And here comes Goff.
03:47With the first ball.
03:49That's a beautiful shot.
03:51That will be a wide.
03:57That's a beautiful shot.
04:05Good contact this time.
04:06That's got through.
04:07Out.
04:15Up goes the finger.
04:16And out goes Graham Smith.
04:18It's that man Hoggard again.
04:23He's got him this time.
04:25South Africa lose both their openers now.
04:28That's found the gap as well.
04:33Sweetly timed by Herschel Gibbs.
04:41Footwork again from Callis.
04:42He looks for the gap.
04:48And finds it brilliantly.
04:49Herschel Gibbs.
04:56Moves on to 50.
05:07Big shot.
05:08In the air.
05:09He gets his 50.
05:10And it will plug and start and spin back.
05:13Look for three.
05:14They'll probably settle for two.
05:15Callis has got his 50.
05:20Up in the air.
05:22That's exactly what England needed.
05:27There he goes.
05:28That's gone a long, long way.
05:34Massive hit.
05:36All the way.
05:37Over the one.
05:38That's six.
05:42Swung away.
05:43Brilliant catch.
05:44Out on the boundary.
05:48Fantastic delivery.
05:49He's Yorked in.
05:53Smashed away.
05:54There's the boundary.
05:55Boucher was after.
05:57Here comes Kabir Ali.
05:58Eight to win.
06:00Full toss.
06:02Pulled away behind square.
06:06Another full toss.
06:09And he's caught.
06:10Brilliant catch out on the boundary.
06:14Well, surely he's running out.
06:17Yes he is.
06:19Can't believe it.
06:20That's what she's saying.
06:22What do they do?
06:23They've just got to stop the run.
06:31Here we go.
06:32It's a tie.
06:33England get the final wicket.
06:34The match is tied.
