01:42the change in field
01:54it's a really good start from new zealand accurate good
02:03taking off in style is ruben hermann and that is why he was elevated up the order
02:10well he lost pace on the ball he will face a lot of pace

02:41he's got that away excellent over four south africa 14 from it
02:52on this occasion. Timing excellent once again. Mulder in on the act now fires that one in as he picked
03:06up a
03:07wicket in the deep. No, he's parried it. He's punched it over the bar, Cartney Clarke.
03:17He's trying to beat him with pace off the surface.
03:21He looks to go again, gets that one even better.
03:27Climbs into that one, puts it in the stands.
03:34Oh, that is hit flat and hard. It's a big over. It's gone for 18.50 partnership between these two.
03:45It's a pretty languid run up for Josh Clarkson, but he may have success first ball. He does.
03:50Jimmy Nisham makes the change. Clark, he delivers.
03:55Well, he's been a golden arm and he's been in some form of the ball in domestic cricket, New Zealand,
03:59especially of the white ball. He's taken a lot of wickets in Lista.
04:02He's taken a lot of wickets in Lista.
04:04Goes for it. He's got underneath it. Has he got enough?
04:08I don't think he has. I don't think he has. Oh, yes, he has.
04:18Oh, he's teed off on that. That's over cover.
04:21And can't cut it off. Tim Robinson doing his best.
04:26Fades the outstretched hand. Hester Hazen looks so good in that area.
04:34He's going to look leg sides. And he's going to get four for it as well.
04:41That is so nicely played because he didn't over hit.
04:46Well, you don't want to be that short. That's for sure. That is gone.
04:50That is on its way to the CBD via the Botanic Gardens.
04:57Oh, he knows it too, Dane. The Jimmy Nisham head shakers.
05:03That's a good shot. Good effort on the boundary, but it's not to be.
05:10Dane, you can come back to us with stage at any time.
05:12To Reuben Hammond.
05:15That's in the air. There's an opportunity for New Zealand.
05:19An outstanding catch from Nick Kelly. Oh, how good is this, Katie Martin?
05:27Oh, you beauty, Nick Kelly.
05:31He's made some massive miles to get this one.
05:38Great connection from Connor Askehazen.
05:43Third six for him.
05:45And this is exactly what South Africa need.
05:51Watch that.
05:53Sail into the crowd.
05:55An excellent over for South Africa. 15 from it.
06:01Yeah, that's good.
06:02Yeah, that's good. Really good stuff from Forrester.
06:04He's playing the angles here at Hagley.
06:10Again, just a reaction shot, full full.
06:16Drilled on the ground, hit with such power.
06:21Esther Hazen is making merry here.
06:24Well, Connor Esther Hazen is seeing the ball so well.
06:34Outstanding strike.
06:38Wow.
06:40You've got to fetch that.
06:43What an end to this 19th over, 19 from the over.
06:52That's an incredible shot.
06:54That is really special from Connor Esther Hazen.
06:58He enjoyed that too.
07:03Goes again.
07:05This time four.
07:07But Esther Hazen has taken hold of this final over.
07:16Who's got this? It should be taken. It is.
07:20The captain, Jimmy Neeshan, holds off.
07:25What an innings.
07:30Sneak a single off the final ball.
07:32And that's where it will end for South Africa after 20 over.
07:36That's 187 for four.
07:40A couple of outstanding.
07:41Has formed out in the middle.
07:44Seen it play a big part throughout the series so far.
07:47Especially in the North Island games.
07:48Batting second, the ball really did slide on.
07:51No real due to speak of.
07:53So what impact will that play in the second innings?
07:56So what impact will that play in the second innings?
07:57For South Africa.
08:02Quick single to get New Zealand under way.
08:10Down next side.
08:12And the finger goes up.
08:16South Africa have an early breakthrough, Vian Mulder strikes in the second over.
08:30That's what we know that Tim Robinson is capable of, a clean strike of the ball.
08:43Cleveland is living dangerously, and he survives four runs to the total, eight from the first three deliveries.
08:57Rocks sold to the wounds. Down leg side. This is turning out to be a really good over for New
09:03Zealand.
09:06Backs away, clever shot. Excellent batting this from Dane Cleaver.
09:15He wants to swing. And he does. And he's popped it up. Should be taken. Is taken this time.
09:23Jason Smith put one down earlier. Not this time. Othniel Bartman gets his man.
09:29Bartman keeps impressing. He keeps delivering. Finding ways to take...
09:36Goes after it. It'll fall safely. And they'll come back for two. Have to hustle. Have to hustle. I don't
09:44think it's enough.
09:45Miles short. Never two on there.
09:51Let's try and get back on strike. Try and get those two's going.
09:58Swung that away powerfully. We have AIDS man diving in the deep. First boundary for Nick Kelly.
10:03Nick Kelly. He's really found his approach to give himself room to that leg side.
10:11All these... Oh, and chopped on. A bit of bad luck for Nick Kelly.
10:20Inside edge onto the leg, onto the stumps, and that's curtains.
10:28Well, on demand. Katie Martin just like that. Goes high, goes long.
10:34Finishes the overall with a six. 76 for four.
10:43No.
10:50He said, I've seen this.
10:53Well, that's not quite it. That is the step hit.
10:56That's the danger of trying to find that perfectly.
10:59Miss slightly full, and Jacobs climbs into it.
11:0113 overs gone. 90 for four.
11:09Catch it!
11:10Oh, it goes after it straight away.
11:13Got the legs on it too. Starts the overall with a six.
11:19Interesting bowling change. Maharaj bringing himself on.
11:26Oh, and again, this time it's leg side. Man in the deep tracks back.
11:30It's over his head. Back to back sixes to start the overall.
11:37Go time for New Zealand.
11:43Hit mode here.
11:46Boundary to niche him now.
11:48This serve has gone for 19. Still the ball to come.
11:57He knows it.
12:00Jacobs goes over the top of extra cover. Has he got enough?
12:04Yes, he has. They're going to need to find the rope.
12:07Man, he's got some power.
12:10Impressive power from the big fella.
12:13Stand tall on the up.
12:14No lead off here, New Zealand.
12:16That is a fabulous delivery.
12:18That is a total recovery.
12:19That is a reproduction.
12:22That is a fabulousقول.
12:25That is aintroduesque.
12:30Forrester takes the catch.
12:32Bottmann has another.
12:34He has been brilliant for this side.
12:38A huge wicket.
12:40and he continues to impress spartman continues to take big wickets the big moments didn't get
12:47all of that powerful man missed on mouthful of chuddy and he's chucking him down at 135 plus
12:55and so there is clarkson off the mark
12:59two five for five
13:04and then back at the point boundary swinging a miss just
13:11one if i could see it in the series let's pace on again clarkson just can't get hold of it
13:19looking to step in
13:25batman driven this should get to the rope and it does
13:31they need plenty more of that new zealand
13:35yeah 120 runs and over required and they need a few boundaries also going at 5.5 and over
13:42that's it hard that's four runs
13:48good from nation gets the lead ball
13:52long off it's quite wide
13:54bowl it
13:57that's come off for toa the bad it's popped up should be caught is caught that's the end of
14:02that for josh clarkson the zorzi takes the catch could see her has the wicket south africa in full
14:09control change of pace again 145 kilometers power this time
14:16this one's high should be caught molders underneath it takes it
14:21could see her has a couple and the new zealand crumble continues but conkey goes for one
14:31let's see at the death spectacular
14:37molders starts with the wicket keeping new zealand in the match
14:45how do you get two of those in a game did you make it signal down
14:53that one's fine
14:54faintest of noises that's enough but the ultra edge proves the case nation has to go
15:04it's full it's hit away out to point and that is going to do it south africa win tonight in
