Amla and de Villiers put on a 221-run partnership, both scoring centuries — the exact ball-by-ball breakdown for each innings had an internal inconsistency in this round's sourcing (near-identical extracted ball/four counts for both players) and was not published; the runs and partnership total themselves are well corroborated.
