Highlights
|
Tsotsobe to Nicol, byes, FOUR, the perils of having a part time keeper, this was short and angled across Nicol, he looks to pull and misses, the ball kept climbing on de Villiers and he misses the take, the ball races away to the fence for a boundary
Steyn to Nicol, FOUR, beautifully played. This is full and shaping away, Nicol covers for the movement, gets a good stride forward and caresses it past cover for a boundary
Steyn to Nicol, FOUR, aggression from Nicol, gives the charge to a fuller length delivery outside off and drives it back past the bowler. Steyn got a hand to it but can't prevent it from racing away to the boundary
Tsotsobe to Guptill, FOUR, you cannot bowl short to a man who is in prime form. This is short and wide outside off, Guptill gets on top of the bounce and cracks it square on the off-side past cover for a boundary
Tsotsobe to Guptill, out Caught by de Villiers!! A deserved wicket for Lopsy. This is pitched up outside off and holds its line, Guptill was expecting the inswinger and is drawn into a loose drive, the edge is found and goes straight through to the keeper. AB holds onto the dolly and Guptill is a goner. A huge wicket for SA, he was the man in superb touch. Guptill c de Villiers b Tsotsobe 7(17) [4s-1]
Tsotsobe to Brendon McCullum, no run, very lucky for Brendon McCullum, he totally misread the delivery, this one was the inswinger, pitched around off-stump and shapes back into Brendon McCullum. he did not read the swing and shoulders arms, the ball pinged him on the knee roll in front of middle and was going over the top. UDRS has saved Brendon McCullum
Steyn to Nicol, FOUR, poor line from Steyn, full and going way down the leg, all Nicol had to do was to get some bat on that, he does so and the ball races away to the fine leg fence
Steyn to Nicol, leg byes, FOUR, Nasty from Steyn . It was banged in short, Nicol does well to duck underneath it, the ball did not rise as high as he expected, pings him on the helmet and bounces over the keeper for four leg-byes
Peterson to Brendon McCullum, no run, lovely bowling from Peterson, this was tossed up outside off and gets it to spin across, Brendon McCullum was lunging forward to defend and is beaten, no bat though as the replays suggest
Morne Morkel to Nicol, FOUR, Bashed. Nicol gives the charge to a short of a length delivery and pummels it in front of square for a boundary. The ball raced away in a jiffy, Morne Morkel is not impressed
Peterson to Nicol, out Caught by Kallis!! Classic left arm spinner's wicket. Lovely bowling from Peterson, this one was tossed ever so slowly, draws Nicol into the drive before spinning away a fraction. Nicol goes through with the drive, gets a thick outside edge that is well held by Kallis diving to his right at 1st slip. Nicol's vigil comes to an end. Nicol c Kallis b Peterson 30(58) [4s-4]
Peterson to Williamson, FOUR, nicely done by Kane. Short and spinning away, Williamson backs away, waits for the ball and pierces the gap between cover and point for a boundary
Duminy to Brendon McCullum, SIX, beautifully played. It was nicely tossed up on the middle stump line, Brendon McCullum gets across and slog sweeps it deep into the stands at mid-wicket. Superbly played indeed
Tsotsobe to Brendon McCullum, SIX, Clubbed. Brendon McCullum gets underneath a fuller length delivery outside off and hoists it deep into the stands at mid-wicket. Sensation shot from Brendon
Tsotsobe to Williamson, FOUR, the extra ball has cost Tsotsobe, short and outside off, Williamson swivels around, rolls his wrists and pulls it in front of mid-wicket for a boundary

Kallis to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Peterson!! Blinder from Peterson. It was short and outside off, Brendon McCullum slapped it hard and in the air, Peterson sprints in from sweeper cover, tumbles forward and takes the catch with both hands even as fell. Brendon McCullum is furious with himself, a timely wicket for the visitors. You will not see a better outfield catch. Brendon McCullum c Peterson b Kallis 56(67) [4s-2 6s-2]
Kallis to Williamson, FOUR, short delivery outside off, Williamson muscles it in front of mid-on and the fast outfield does the rest. The timing was not great but the placement was
Kallis to Ryder, FOUR, Tonked. A touch short and outside off, Ryder is quick to latch onto that and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary
Kallis to Ryder, out Caught by Graeme Smith!! Poor shot from Ryder. Kallis bangs this one short and just outside off, Ryder looks to pull and gets a huge top-edge. The ball stays in the air for a long time and when it drops down, Smith is safely underneath it with his bucket like hands at deep backward square leg. New Zealand have lost their two best hitters with the batting PP lurking round the corner. Ryder c Graeme Smith b Kallis 6(12) [4s-1]
Peterson to Williamson, FOUR, short delivery just outside off, Williamson backs away, creates room and cuts it behind point for a boundary
Morne Morkel to Williamson, 1 run, FIFTY for Williamson, a very good knock from the young talent. Gets there with a flick shot to deep mid wicket. This is 1st fifty in ODIs, but he has already scored 2 100s!
Kallis to Franklin, FOUR, poor ball and Franklin punishes it. Short and wide outside off, Franklin reaches out and slaps it to deep backward point, absolutely raced to the fence there
Tsotsobe to Williamson, out Caught by de Villiers!! Good catch to end a good innings. Typical Tsotsobe length and line - just angles this across and holds the line - Williamson follows the ball and drives but only manages an edge that went low to ABDV who dived to take it. Important strike that, Williamson was looking to play through the innings. Williamson c de Villiers b Tsotsobe 55(69) [4s-4]
Tsotsobe to Franklin, FOUR, poor, poor bowling, short and angled in down the leg, Franklin gets some bat on it as he pulls and collects 4 gifted runs through fine leg
Morne Morkel to Franklin, out Caught by Amla!! Morne strikes first ball! That's a very good catch by Amla. This was in the slot for the lofted shot - a length ball on the off - and Franklin did go for the loft over mid off, but it came off the toe of the bat and looped to mid off where Amla runs back and holds on to it overhead. Another important strike in the death overs, could make a difference of 20 runs. Franklin c Amla b Morne Morkel 32(37) [4s-2]
Morne Morkel to Ellis, FOUR, good, attacking shot. Short ball from Morne and Ellis makes full use of it, rocks back in a flash and pulls it to deep mid wicket, hit in the air but that was intentional
Morne Morkel to Ellis, FOUR, replay! Another short ball from Morne and Ellis slaps it away again, not too well timed but he had enough in it to clear mid on with ease, back to back boundaries

Peterson to Doug Bracewell, wide,, out Stumped!! Excellent keeping! Quick work there by ABDV. Peterson flights it well but bowls it down the leg side, Bracewell looks to clip it through the on side but is dragged out in the process, ABDV moves across quickly and whips the bails in a flash. New Zealand are losing their way in the death overs. Doug Bracewell st de Villiers b Peterson 0(3)
Morne Morkel to N McCullum, SIX, that should help! Morne tries a short ball - wrong option in the last over - N McCullum goes on the backfoot and hooks it from his face to deep backward square leg, just managed to clear the ropes there
Morne Morkel to N McCullum, out Bowled!! Good response from Morkel! Perfect place to bowl in the death - full, fast and straight - N McCullum looks to swing it over the on side but misses, it hits the base of the off stump. N McCullum b Morne Morkel 15(15) [6s-1]
Morne Morkel to Southee, FOUR, Southee does his job. These are useful runs! Morne once again maintains it full and straight but Southee gives himself some room and slices it over point, not exactly where he wanted to hit but does it matter? All that matters is that New Zealand's total has been increased by 4, and they end up with 253.

Typical Tsotsobe length and line - just angles this across and holds the line - Williamson follows the ball and drives but only manages an edge that went low to ABDV who dived to take it. Important strike that, Williamson was looking to play through the innings. Williamson c de Villiers b Tsotsobe 55(69) [4s-4]
Tsotsobe to Franklin, FOUR, poor, poor bowling, short and angled in down the leg, Franklin gets some bat on it as he pulls and collects 4 gifted runs through fine leg
Morne Morkel to Franklin, out Caught by Amla!! Morne strikes first ball! That's a very good catch by Amla. This was in the slot for the lofted shot - a length ball on the off - and Franklin did go for the loft over mid off, but it came off the toe of the bat and looped to mid off where Amla runs back and holds on to it overhead. Another important strike in the death overs, could make a difference of 20 runs. Franklin c Amla b Morne Morkel 32(37) [4s-2]
Morne Morkel to Ellis, FOUR, good, attacking shot. Short ball from Morne and Ellis makes full use of it, rocks back in a flash and pulls it to deep mid wicket, hit in the air but that was intentional
Morne Morkel to Ellis, FOUR, replay! Another short ball from Morne and Ellis slaps it away again, not too well timed but he had enough in it to clear mid on with ease, back to back boundaries

Peterson to Doug Bracewell, wide,, out Stumped!! Excellent keeping! Quick work there by ABDV. Peterson flights it well but bowls it down the leg side, Bracewell looks to clip it through the on side but is dragged out in the process, ABDV moves across quickly and whips the bails in a flash. New Zealand are losing their way in the death overs. Doug Bracewell st de Villiers b Peterson 0(3)
Morne Morkel to N McCullum, SIX, that should help! Morne tries a short ball - wrong option in the last over - N McCullum goes on the backfoot and hooks it from his face to deep backward square leg, just managed to clear the ropes there

All that matters is that New Zealand's total has been increased by 4, and they end up with 253.

Tsotsobe to Guptill, out Caught by de Villiers!! A deserved wicket for Lopsy. This is pitched up outside off and holds its line, Guptill was expecting the inswinger and is drawn into a loose drive, the edge is found and goes straight through to the keeper. AB holds onto the dolly and Guptill is a goner. A huge wicket for SA, he was the man in superb touch. Guptill c de Villiers b Tsotsobe 7(17) [4s-1]
Tsotsobe to Brendon McCullum, no run, very lucky for Brendon McCullum, he totally misread the delivery, this one was the inswinger, pitched around off-stump and shapes back into Brendon McCullum. he did not read the swing and shoulders arms, the ball pinged him on the knee roll in front of middle and was going over the top.

Peterson to Brendon McCullum, no run, lovely bowling from Peterson, this was tossed up outside off and gets it to spin across, Brendon McCullum was lunging forward to defend and is beaten, no bat though as the replays suggest
Morne Morkel to Nicol, FOUR, Bashed. Nicol gives the charge to a short of a length delivery and pummels it in front of square for a boundary. The ball raced away in a jiffy, Morne Morkel is not impressed
Peterson to Nicol, out Caught by Kallis!! Classic left arm spinner's wicket. Lovely bowling from Peterson, this one was tossed ever so slowly, draws Nicol into the drive before spinning away a fraction. Nicol goes through with the drive, gets a thick outside edge that is well held by Kallis diving to his right at 1st slip. Nicol's vigil comes to an end. Nicol c Kallis b Peterson 30(58) [4s-4]
Peterson to Williamson, FOUR, nicely done by Kane. Short and spinning away, Williamson backs away, waits for the ball and pierces the gap between cover and point for a boundary

Kallis to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Peterson!! Blinder from Peterson. It was short and outside off, Brendon McCullum slapped it hard and in the air, Peterson sprints in from sweeper cover, tumbles forward and takes the catch with both hands even as fell. Brendon McCullum is furious with himself, a timely wicket for the visitors. You will not see a better outfield catch. Brendon McCullum c Peterson b Kallis 56(67) [4s-2 6s-2]
Kallis to Williamson, FOUR, short delivery outside off, Williamson muscles it in front of mid-on and the fast outfield does the rest. The timing was not great but the placement was
Kallis to Ryder, FOUR, Tonked. A touch short and outside off, Ryder is quick to latch onto that and pulls it over mid-wicket for a boundary
Kallis to Ryder, out Caught by Graeme Smith!! Poor shot from Ryder. Kallis bangs this one short and just outside off, Ryder looks to pull and gets a huge top-edge. The ball stays in the air for a long time and when it drops down, Smith is safely underneath it with his bucket like hands at deep backward square leg. New Zealand have lost their two best hitters with the batting PP lurking round the corner. Ryder c Graeme Smith b Kallis 6(12) [4s-1]
Peterson to Williamson, FOUR, short delivery just outside off, Williamson backs away, creates room and cuts it behind point for a boundary

Doug Bracewell to du Plessis, SIX, what a shot to get to a FIFTY! Nothing wrong with the ball - a regulation delivery on middle stump - but du Plessis skips down the track and heaves it away over deep mid wicket, terrific strike that
Doug Bracewell to du Plessis, FOUR, take that! Another one. This was fuller in length, du Plessis is down the track again and smashes this over mid on for another boundary, this is going to end early
Doug Bracewell to du Plessis, FOUR, more fun. Bracewell doesn't know where to bowl and drags this short, du Plessis swivels and pulls it through deep mid wicket for another boundary
Southee to du Plessis, FOUR, 4 from the first ball. Southee tries a yorker and sprays it full on the legs, du Plessis glances it fine to the fine leg fence, just 10 more needed
Southee to de Villiers, FOUR, they're getting boundaries at will. This was a slow bouncer on the off, de Villiers makes a lot of room and slashes it, gets a thick top edge that flies over the keeper's head for a boundary
Kyle Mills to Amla, 1 run, quick single, and a risky one too. Amla drives this one straight to covers and starts off, N McCullum charges in and fires in a throw at the striker's end, Smith was out by miles had it hit!
Kyle Mills to Graeme Smith, FOUR, shouts of catch it, but Smith collects a boundary, fullish ball with lots of width outside off, Smith follows it and drives it uppishly between point and covers, nicely done
Southee to Amla, FOUR, no stopping this though. Full and on the legs, Amla flicks it between square leg and mid wicket for a boundary, it was in the air but very well controlled
Southee to Amla, out Bowled!! That's a superb comeback! He has just been hit for four and gets back with the best possible reply. Pitches on length outside off and nips in, Amla pushes away with a huge gap, gets an inside edge that goes through the gate to hit off stump. Perfect start for New Zealand, and a well deserved wicket for Southee. Amla b Southee 8(10) [4s-1]
Kyle Mills to Graeme Smith, out Caught by Ryder!! Poor batting. Poor, poor batting. Full in length and very wide outside off, Smith chases the ball and stretches out to drive it, only manages a thick edge that is taken safely at first slip. Loose shot from the former skipper gives New Zealand their second wicket. South Africa lose their openers in no time! Graeme Smith c Ryder b Kyle Mills 9(16) [4s-1]
Kyle Mills to Kallis, FOUR, shot! That wasn't even a bad ball, not too shrot but Kallis was on the backfoot in a flash, pulled away over mid wicket for four
Doug Bracewell to Kallis, FOUR, superb shot! Made it look so easy, full and on the middle stump line, Kallis whips it with the angle wide of mid on for a boundary, superb timing and placement too
Doug Bracewell to Kallis, out Caught by Williamson!! Uh oh, the commentator's curse! More credit to me than Bracewell for this wicket, especially because it wasn't a great ball. It was short and straight, Kallis goes for the pull but mistimes it, ends up lobbing it straight to square leg for the easiest of catches. A huge wicket this, always is when the batsman dismissed is Kallis. Kallis c Williamson b Doug Bracewell 13(17) [4s-2]
Doug Bracewell to de Villiers, FOUR, shouts of atch it but the ball raced to the fence in a flash! Short and outside off, de Villiers swats it uppishly and just wide of mid wicket, was in the air but that was hit too hard to call it a chance!
Nicol to de Villiers, SIX, puts it away easily, with minimum effort! Short ball sits up to be hit, de Villiers goes on the backfoot in a flash and slaps it over deep mid wicket, the bowler wants the fielder to 'catch it', but only superman could have taken that
Ellis to Duminy, FOUR, beautifully played. Short and angling away, Duminy gets on top of the bounce and bisects the tiny gap between cover and point, superb timing as well, the ball races to the fence in a jiffy
Ellis to Duminy, FOUR, Lovely shot, slower delivery from Ellis, offers width to Duminy, he slaps it in front of cover and beats the despairing dive from the fielder at sweeper cover
Nicol to Duminy, out Caught&Bowled!! Soft dismissal for JPD. Smartly bowled by Nicol, tosses this one very slowly, Duminy looks to work it towards the onside, gets the leading edge that pops back to the bowler. JPD is disappointed with the shot, the partnership has been terminated. Duminy c and b Nicol 46(74) [4s-2]
Nicol to de Villiers, 2 runs, FIFTY for ABD, pushed through by Nicol, tucked behind square for a couple. He needs to convert this into a bigger knock
Nicol to de Villiers, SIX, Lovely shot. de Villiers shimmies down the track to a well tossed up delivery and launches a superb lofted on drive deep into the stands at widish long on
Doug Bracewell to du Plessis, FOUR, du Plessis wants to join the fun, skips down the track to a fuller length delivery outside off and lofts it up and over cover for a boundary
Doug Bracewell to du Plessis, no run, good length delivery that jagged back in sharply after pitching outside off, du Plessis looks to turn it towards the onside and is rapped high on the pads, the impact was on middle and leg and was going down. The umpire has to change his decision. Not a great day for the umpires today
Southee to du Plessis, FOUR, fab shot , full and on the stumps, du Plessis skips down the track and drives it beautifully back past the bowler, the ball races away to the fence in a hurry

Southee to du Plessis, FOUR, rank short ball from Southee, du Plessis swivels back and pulls it over mid-on for a boundary, Faf is playing a blinder here

Ellis to de Villiers, FOUR, super shot from AB, it was full and angling into the stumps, de Villiers plays with the angle and clips it high and over mid-wicket for a boundary

Nicol to de Villiers, SIX, classy AB, skips down the track to a well tossed up delivery and lofts it deep into the stands at long on, this over has really lifted SA massively
Doug Bracewell to du Plessis, FOUR, well, du Plessis looks in a bit of a hurry. But poor bowling from Bracewell, starts with a length delivery on the legs, du Plessis lofts it over mid wicket for an easy boundary
Doug Bracewell to de Villiers, 1 run, they can't prevent the single! And de Villiers completes his 13th ODI century!
