16.5 - Kyle Abbott to Latham, FOUR, shortish outside off, Latham pulls it to the left of mid-wicket and the ball runs away to the fence in no time. That was timed well by Latham

14.0 - Phangiso to George Worker, FOUR, Phangiso bowls the quicker delivery, but it is going down the leg-side, Worker sweeps it to the right of the fielder at short fine-leg and collects a four

13.3 - Phangiso to George Worker, FOUR, drop catch. Morne Morkel at the long-leg boundary has messed it up and Worker survives. He couldn't take the catch and to make it worse for the hosts, it goes away for a four. In fact, he got a finger onto it, but couldn't hold onto the catch. Phangiso just can't believe his luck

13.0 - Wiese to Elliott, FOUR, comes down the track and goes hard on the ball, the ball takes the outside edge and flies to the right of the keeper, runs away to the fence in no time

10.5 - M Morkel to George Worker, FOUR, banged in short and down leg, Worker swivels on the pull and sends it to the right of fine leg, the fielder runs across, puts in the dive, but the ball escapes past him

10.1 - M Morkel to Guptill, FOUR, short delivery outside off, it wasn't quite a bouncer and it sits up nicely for Guptill, who rocks back and pulls it wide of long-on, runs away to the fence yet again

8.4 - Wiese to Guptill, FOUR, that went like a rocket! Bit of width on offer, Guptill makes some room for himself and cuts it fiercely square of the wicket, it went so quickly to the fence that the sweeper had no idea where it had gone at first

6.1 - Wiese to Guptill, FOUR, poor ball first up from Wiese! Pitched up and angling down leg, all Guptill had to do was to get bat on it, he does exactly that as he clips it to the right of short fine leg and it races away

5.4 - M Morkel to Williamson, FOUR, back-to-back fours for Williamson! Angling in from outside off, Williamson looks to whip it through the on-side, drags it through square leg off the inside half of the bat, the fielder in the deep runs to his right but the ball once again beats him to the fence

5.3 - M Morkel to Williamson, FOUR, great shot! 50 of the partnership comes up with this boundary and Williamson is looking in sublime touch. This was short and outside off, it sits up nicely for Williamson, who pulls it to the cow corner fence and it runs away for another boundary

5.0 - Rabada to Williamson, FOUR, full and on the pads, Rabada pays the price once again. Williamson clips it wide of mid-on, who gives chase but the ball was always going to win that race

4.4 - Rabada to Williamson, FOUR, great shot! Bit too straight from Rabada, Williamson whips it in the air behind square on the on-side, gets it in the gap and there was no stopping that

4.1 - Rabada to Williamson, FOUR, Williamson once again gives himself room to this length delivery, he lofts it over mid-on, the ball crashes into the fence in no time

3.5 - M Morkel to Williamson, FOUR, pitched up on the pads, Williamson comes across slightly and whips it through mid-wicket, you can't bowl him there, races away to the fence in a jiffy

3.2 - M Morkel to Williamson, FOUR, pitched up outside off, Williamson leans forward and drives it back past the bowler, beats mid-off to his right and runs away to the fence

3.0 - Kyle Abbott to Williamson, FOUR, top-edge and four! This was banged in short and outside off, Williamson looks to pull it away, gets a top-edge that flies over the slip cordon, one bounce and over the rope. Third man didn't have a chance of stopping that

2.2 - Kyle Abbott to Guptill, FOUR, full and swinging away slightly wide outside off, Guptill clears his front leg, reaches out for it and flashes hard, gets it off the toe-end and the ball goes in the air over backward point, third man runs across to his right but the ball beats him to the fence

0.4 - Kyle Abbott to Guptill, FOUR, edged and four! This was a back of a length delivery that shapes away and bounces extra, Guptill looks to force it into the off-side off the back foot, gets an outside edge that flies past Wiese at second slip and beats third man's dive to his left

19.4 - Rabada to Doug Bracewell, SIX, that's a brilliant strike. Banged in short this time around, Bracewell rocks back and pulls it hard, muscles it over the deep backward square leg fence for a maximum

9.4 - Phangiso to George Worker, SIX, that's been smashed! Dragged short on leg stump line, Worker rocks back and muscles the pull over the deep mid-wicket fence, made a solid connection

19.2 - Rabada to Nathan McCullum, out Caught by de Villiers!! Another one bites the dust and the Kiwis are falling apart here. It was full and on the stumps, McCullum looks to loft it over mid-on but doesn't get the elevation, ends up chipping it straight to de Villiers at mid-on, who won't drop those. Nathan McCullum c de Villiers b Rabada 2(8)

19.1 - Rabada to Latham, out Caught by M Morkel!! Rabada picks up his first wicket. His father looks extremely happy in the stands. This was banged in short and outside off, Latham looks to pull it away and gets a top-edge that flies towards fine leg, Morkel moves across to his right, the ball was landing further away from him, but he somehow adjusts and reaches out, gets both hands to it and holds on as he takes a tumble. Good effort from Giraffe there after he dropped one earlier in the innings. Latham c M Morkel b Rabada 12(10) [4s-1]

17.2 - M Morkel to Ronchi, out Ronchi Run Out!! Another run-out and this time it's Ronchi who has to go. This was very full outside off, Ronchi drives it to backward point and sets off, Wiese picks the ball and throws it at the non-striker's end, the ball hits the stump and Ronchi was short of his ground. Brilliant bit of fielding from the all-rounder. Ronchi run out (Wiese) 5(9)

15.3 - Phangiso to George Worker, out Lbw!! Worker is also gone and Phangiso picks his second wicket of the night. It was a loopy full delivery on the stumps, Worker kneels down and looks to sweep it away, he misses and the ball hits him on the back leg in line with middle. That was as plumb as it got and the umpire raised his finger up in a flash. George Worker lbw b Phangiso 28(26) [4s-3 6s-1]

14.1 - Wiese to Elliott, out Wiese to Elliott, THATS OUT!! Caught!! A fine slower delivery from Wiese has done the trick.

12.4 - Wiese to Munro, out Caught by de Villiers!! AB de Villiers has pulled off a stunner. Munro comes down the track first ball and Wiese drags his length short, he looks to pull it away and drags it to the left of mid-on, who dives to his left, gets both hands to it and takes a brilliant catch. Munro c de Villiers b Wiese 0(1)

12.3 - Wiese to George Worker, out Guptill Run Out!! Guptill departs against the run of play. Poor cricket from him. Slower ball angling away outside off, Worker flashes hard and his bottom hand comes off the bat as he makes contact with the ball, the ball dribbles away to the left of sweeper cover, Guptill waits for the throw to go past him before he drags his bat back inside the crease, but van Wyk was too quick for him, he whips the bails off in a flash and it was a close call on whether Guptill got back in or not, but the third umpire gives him his marching orders. Guptill run out (Behardien/van Wyk) 42(37) [4s-5]

8.0 - Phangiso to Williamson, out Stumped!! Phangiso gets the first breakthrough for South Africa. This one was given more air outside off, Williamson jumps out of the crease and looks to play the inside-out loft over cover, the ball turns away and beats his blade, the keeper collects quickly and whips the bails off in a flash to send Williamson on his way back. Williamson st van Wyk b Phangiso 42(21) [4s-8]

16.4 - Kyle Abbott to Latham, 2 runs, dropped!
