That brings an end to the proceedings. The game kept swinging like a pendulum and in the end it was South Africa who held their nerve to go 1-0 up in the 3-match series. With the potential these two teams have, we can expect a closely fought series. Do join us for the second game on Sunday. Until then, take care and Cya!

Amla: "Myself and Morne (van Wyk) thought it was difficult wicket first up. Pretty happy that we got some quick runs at the start. Rilee (Rossouw) came in and was slow to start, but he picked up pace. 250 was a defendable total, but in the end 300 turned out to be a good score. Rilee himself is an exceptional player and we both learn about our respective game plan. He has such power that he can take the game away from the opposition at any time. I don't know why, but we (himself and Rossouw) just like batting with each other. "

Hashim Amla is the Man of the Match for his 126-ball 124.

AB de Villiers: "I am always happy with the win. We played some good cricket, but some poor cricket as well. It takes a bit of time to get things going and hopefully we can hit our straps on Sunday. It was a good foundation given by Morne (van Wyk) and Hash, Rilee is a positive player, but had to stick it out today. We should have won by a bigger margin. We have some new faces and we need time to get used to each other. The bowling unit stepped up and they adapted. A nice fielding session with our fielding coach will be needed before the next game."

Williamson: "Obviously the scorecard reflects that (on how close the game was). The boys stuck at it with the ball after Amla and Rossouw's partnership. The guys came out and played their roles and took us close. Maybe if we had carried a partnership or two, we would have won it. Credit to South Africa as they were the better side. It is about identifying some of the positives for us and there were some today. He (Guptill) had an injection and a new lease of life, I wasn't sure if he would bat, but he came out. Hopefully he will be fine for the next game. The surface is a new one and different, it is all about adapting."

The visitors lost the plot soon after as Vernon Philander struck twice in an over to remove Grant Elliott and Tom Latham. Under pressure, Jimmy Neesham and Colin Munro batted sensibly and shared a fifty partnership, but David Wiese's slower ball bumper consumed Neesham and that gave South Africa the opportunity to tighten the screws. Mitchell McClenaghan and Adam Milne hit a few timely blows towards the end, but the Proteas managed to seal the game with 11 balls to spare. Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander, Imran Tahir and David Wiese - all finished with two wickets apiece.

Chasing 305, New Zealand were off to a poor start as Luke Ronchi, who was promoted to open the innings because of a wrist injury to Martin Guptill, edged Dale Steyn to first slip. Tom Latham and Kane Williamson then were involved in a 104-run stand before the latter was caught at extra-cover. Guptill walked in at No. 4 but didn't last long as he holed out to long-on.

48.1 - Rabada to Milne, out Ish Sodhi Run Out!! 1 run completed. South Africa win by 20 runs. It was a risky second run and Sodhi is caught short. Pitched up delivery around off, Milne drills it to the left of the bowler, Vernon slides to his right at mid-off, makes a slight fumble, that prompted the duo to go for the second, Vernon recovers quickly and throws to Rabada, who keeps calm and takes the bails off. Sodhi was well short of the crease. Even the third umpire was not needed. Ish Sodhi run out (Philander/Rabada) 0(0)

Rabada to Milne, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!

Steyn to McClenaghan, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

47.5 - Steyn to McClenaghan, FOUR, top-edge and four. New Zealand are still in it. Quick short delivery right at the batsman, McClenaghan goes for the pull and the ball takes the glove and balloons over van Wyk, fine leg is inside the ring and these are handy runs

Full toss outside off, McClenaghan drags it to deep mid-wicket off the inner part of the bat, Milne was always coming back for the second, McClenaghan was late to respond, the throw comes at the striker's end, it was very wide, van Wyk collects, dives but doesn't take the bails off as he swings his arms, even a dive from McClenaghan wouldn't have saved him

David Wiese [6.0-0-47-2] is back into the attack

McClenaghan 1(5)	Milne 5(7)	Tahir 10-0-40-2

Banged in halfway down the wicket, McCullum goes for the hook, top-edges it to deep backward square, Behardien runs to his right, dives and takes it with both hands.

44.1 - Rabada to Nathan McCullum, 1 run, another risky single taken. Short of length delivery, McCullum tucks it towards mid-wicket, Miller runs to his right and release the ball quickly, he fails to hit the target at the bowler's end, direct hit would have had McCullum short of the crease

He goes for the switch hit, Tahir fires it full and on the stumps, Munro missed and is struck in front of middle, that is plumb. Tahir is off and running, once again provides the vital breakthrough for the hosts. Munro lbw b Tahir 33(32) [4s-3 6s-1]

Nathan McCullum 6(9)	Munro 33(31)	Wiese 6-0-47-2

42.6 - Wiese to Nathan McCullum, no run, direct hit and Munro was a goner. The off-speed delivery on off, McCullum works it towards mid-wicket, is a bit late in sending Munro back, AB runs to his left from mid-wicket and flicks the ball at the bowler's end, he missed and that allowed Munro to get back

42.5 - Wiese to Nathan McCullum, FOUR, poor delivery from Wiese, short and plenty of width on offer, McCullum takes a step down and cracks it square of the wicket on the off-side, sweeper had no chance

The equation reads 68 from 48. Still gettable!

Over: 41	0 2 0 0 2	NZ 229/6
Nathan McCullum 0(2)	Munro 26(26)	Wiese 5-0-42-2

40.6 - Wiese to Nathan McCullum, no run, dropped! That is the third catch Wiese has put down today. It was the toughest of all. Fuller and around off, McCullum drives it back to the bowler, Wiese sticks out his right hand in his followthrough, but it doesn't stick. The bat turned in McCullum's hand and hence no timing. It has certainly not been a catching day for Wiese

40.5 - Wiese to Nathan McCullum, no run, short of length with bit more bounce, McCullum hangs back and drops it with soft hands to the off-side

Nathan McCullum, right handed bat, comes to the crease

40.4 - Wiese to Neesham, out Caught by van Wyk!! Huge wicket! Wiese provides the much needed breakthrough for the hosts. He is pumped up and why not! It was the slower ball bumper, Neesham was ages early into the pull, the top-edge balloons to van Wyk, who accepts it gleefully. A handy knock from Neesham comes to an end. Neesham c van Wyk b Wiese 41(41) [4s-6]

Wiese to Neesham, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Free-hit coming up..

38.5 - Rabada to Neesham, no ball, FOUR, third boundary of the over and New Zealand are keeping the game alive. What's more, Rabada has overstepped. Pitched up around off, Neesham hammers it to the left of the bowler, mid-on dives in vain

38.3 - Rabada to Neesham, FOUR, Neesham is turning it on here. Consecutive boundaries for him and the 50-run stand comes up. Length delivery in the slot, Neesham hoicks it over mid-wicket, Tahir at deep square leg couldn't stop that

38.2 - Rabada to Neesham, FOUR, the partnership is motoring along nicely. Fullish and on the stumps, Neesham whips it behind square leg, there was a man at fine leg, but he couldn't get there

Neesham 25(32)	Munro 17(18)	Steyn 8-0-42-1

37.4 - Steyn to Neesham, no run, Steyn is bending his back, third short delivery in the over, Neesham pulls and misses, he was beaten for pace. That had past him before he could go for the shot

37.3 - Steyn to Neesham, 2 runs, dropped! The fielding today has been very poor from both the teams. Rabada the latest to grass one. Another sharp bumper from Steyn, Neesham takes it on and top-edges the pull to fine leg, Rabada never looked comfortable as he kept swivelling and in the end just got a fingertip. Fortunately it didn't cross the boundary

37.2 - Steyn to Neesham, no run, there comes the bouncer, expected after being hit down the ground, it was quick and well directed, Neesham had to take evasive action, ducks just in the nick of time

Full and on the stumps, Latham shuffles across and misses the flick, is struck in front of middle, would have crashed into middle-stump. Good decision from umpire Johanes Cloete. Latham lbw b Philander 60(80) [4s-4 6s-1]

Philander to Latham, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

29.5 - Philander to Latham, wide, sprays it down leg, Latham can't reach with the flick, wide called

29.4 - Philander to Neesham, 1 run, almost got through his defence, full and on the stumps, Neesham was late on the flick, but managed to get an inside edge onto the pad, the ball rolls to square leg. Had he missed that, he was right in front of the stumps

Two slips greet Neesham

James Neesham, left handed bat, comes to the crease

29.3 - Philander to Elliott, out Caught by D Miller!! The bowling change has worked. So has the fielding move. Wiese was removed from slip, Miller was brought in and he pouches it comfortably. The umpires check for a no-ball, but Philander is fine. Short of a length and around off, Elliott pokes at it feebly, the outside edge goes to the left of first slip, Miller moves across and takes a good catch. South Africa slowly taking a grip of the match. Elliott c D Miller b Philander 4(3) [4s-1]

Philander to Elliott, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

29.2 - Philander to Elliott, FOUR, in the air and in the gap. Fullish and just outside off, Elliott leans forward and drives it uppishly, places it between extra cover and mid-off, Rabada gives chase in vain

A slip in place and no one sweeping on the off-side. A short mid-wicket placed as well...

27.6 - Wiese to Guptill, out Caught by D Miller!! Needless! Just when I thought he was batting sensibly, Guptill throws it away. Wiese breathes a sigh of relief. He has taken a pounding till now, but this should give him confidence.

0.6 - Steyn to Ronchi, out Caught by Amla!! The outside edge is finally held. However, the umpires are checking if it was a clean catch. No issues with Steyn's footing. Oh!
