    FOUR! Lockie Ferguson to Rassie van der Dussen. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. Van der Dussen drives straight back down the ground for four to bring the innings to an end. South Africa were very tentitive with the bat from start to finish, Boult made early in roads by dismissing de kock and after Ferguson picked up the wicket of du Plessis the innings struggled to kick on. Van der Dussen's late surge of 67 off 64 balls helped to spark a bit of life in this South Africa innings and enabled them to reach 241-6. On a slow wicket New Zealand will have to bat sensibly but will be pleased with the position they are in

Kane Williamson hits a four down to third man to win the game for New Zealand, what a game and what an innings from the captain. After a slow first innings with the bat South Africa came out all guns blazing in the 2nd innings with Rabada dismissing Munro early on. After three quick wickets between the 16th and 18th over South Africa were right back in the competition. However de Grandhomme came to the crease later on in the innings and smashed 60 off 47 balls, but found himself caught in the deep in the 47th over.

Another great game between two fantastic sides but yet again it is New Zealand who come out on top
