00:00That's a heck of a record.

00:05And he's going to need all of that class right here because his team is in a spot of brother.

00:15It's nicely timed and well stopped as well.

00:19Doug Bracewell charging around the outfield, buoyed by that wicket.

00:30Nice stroke, just punched down the ground.

00:33Dead straight, might not go for four.

00:36And it doesn't, they chase it down.

00:41That is a very attractive three.

00:49Saudi just struggling for some consistency.

00:52Easy as you like again from de Villiers.

00:54He's one man who's very strong on the short ball.

00:57So New Zealand will be more likely to pitch it up as well.

01:04Wow, look at that.

01:06That is an easy to get a ball with that line and that height down on the ground

01:10and away for four. Brilliant stuff from de Villiers.

01:15Well, he's got a reputation for being very small, almost guffed.

01:21But he sends a message to the bowler that you can't bowl that length.

01:26It's brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

01:29Great pressure starting from the bowler.

01:3172 to 3.

01:34That's a great example to set Nathan McCallum off his own bowling.

01:38Thanksgiving runs away.

01:40Look at this at full stretch to his right.

01:42Brilliant stuff. That is setting a very...

01:47That's over the top.

01:49Shouts to catch it, but it's six.

01:53Can't catch up with it at all. It was dragged down from Rob Nickell.

02:01Initially he thought it was going to be a chance.

02:05Just easy as you like over the top.

02:08Valiant dive.

02:10I think that's six.

02:12Maybe you lose the confidence as well.

02:14In the air, is it a chance? No, it doesn't carry to Franklin.

02:18Just need the odd four.

02:20Looking for a boundary there.

02:22And it's into the stand, is it?

02:25Yes, it is.

02:26I thought it had been taken down in the outfield by someone.

02:29But it cleared a boundary for South Africa.

02:34Clipped away.

02:35Mid-wicket, and that'll be four.

02:37One bounce into the boundary.

02:41Just getting a little bit leg side.

02:46See, this is just too predictable for me, Dooley.

02:48They know that it's going to be four, and at the stumps, it has to be.

02:51Opens up the whole leg side.

02:55By McCullum standing back, all of a sudden it makes the batsman think,

02:58what length is he going to bowl?

03:00So that does create just a little bit of confusion.

03:02There's no confusion at all there at the moment with McCullum standing up.

03:09That will not help.

03:11Half-tracker from Nickell, punished.

03:14Six, and a good shot.

03:19Dragged down by Nickell.

03:21Can't afford to bowl this to a man who's been in for so long

03:25that was just sitting up and saying,

03:27here you go, AB, have a piece of this.

03:30And that's gone a long way back.

03:33Another big over for South Africa, making this look easy.

03:38And again, six more.

03:40That is well and truly over the head of the man back at Long On.

03:45200 up, back-to-back sixes for AB de Villiers,

03:48and the Rob Nickell punt has not worked at all.

03:52No, it hasn't.

03:53Oh, this is classy from AB de Villiers.

03:55He's a man at Long On who stood there and watched it sail over his head.

04:00A little bit of risk in the shot, but when you hit it that hard,

04:03don't worry about it.

04:05That was the first one.

04:06Dragged down, hit over mid-wicket.

04:08Good use of the feet by AB de Villiers.

04:10Classy.

04:12And still he works it away.

04:15Brilliant stuff, AB de Villiers.

04:17Wonderful innings.

04:22The fact that he just found a gap with the field and with ease

04:26I think illustrates the quality of this innings from AB de Villiers.

04:30It coincides with the 100-run partnership as well.

04:33These two have combined sensationally.

04:36Look at the green lines for me.

04:38They're the key.

04:39To the winning of this match.

04:41It might not be what people want to see.

04:43They want to see the ball fly.

04:45But when you construct a run chase,

04:47every delivery has basically been a productive one.

04:50And there's another one that will go down to the boundary for four.

04:54But the way that AB de Villiers has worked the ball

04:57and manipulated New Zealand around is the key.

05:00These boundaries are just the icing.

05:04I think they call that the scoring rate.

05:08It's your ability to score off

05:12the percentage of deliveries you face

05:16in terms of the amount of times you score off those deliveries.

05:19Not how many, not how fast.
