Pakistan: 306 for 8 (Kamran Akmal 82, Misbah-ul-Haq 72, KMDN Kulasekara 3-46)
Sri Lanka: 198 (CK Kapugedera 59, Naved-ul-Hasan 5-41)

South Africa vs West Indies: South Africa laid down an early marker as they piled up 388 for 4 against West Indies at Potchefstroom. Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis and JP Duminy all reached the 80s, while Roelef van der Merwe took four wickets. Duminy was the stand-out batsman with 80 off 49 deliveries and two of his five sixes required replacement balls. The only blot on South Africa's day was an abdominal strain to Herschelle Gibbs when he took evasive action to avoid a straight drive from Smith. Gibbs retired hurt and will have a scan to determine the extent of the injury.

Brief score:
South Africa: 388 for 4 (JH Kallis 88, GC Smith 83)
West Indies: 200 (DJG Sammy 52, RE Merwe 4-44)
Result: South Africa won by 188 runs
