South African openers Graeme Smith and Loots Bosman shared a world record partnership to set up a devastating 84-run victory over England in their Twenty20 international at Centurion.

The pair scored at more than 12 runs an over in scoring 170 off 84 balls - the biggest partnership for any wicket in international Twenty20.

The huge defeat for England, which came despite the return from injury of their leading batsman Kevin Pietersen, tied the two-match series at 1-1.
