MUMBAI (Reuters) - Heinrich Klaasen scored a 61-ball century as South Africa posted a massive 399 for seven at the end of their 50 overs in the Cricket World Cup pool stage clash with England at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday.

It was a masterclass from Klaasen in stiflingly hot and humid conditions as he finished with 109 from 67 balls, his fourth One-Day International hundred, and put on 151 from 76 balls for the sixth wicket with all-rounder Marco Jansen.
