Right then! That is it from this Test match as well as the series. Both teams share the trophy and now pose for the cameras. The cricketing action does not stop here as we have a lot of exciting action coming up as India take on Sri Lanka, while Australia will take on Pakistan in their respective Test series. The Women's World Cup, 2022 is also around the corner, so get ready for an exciting month ahead. We look forward to your company for all the games. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Dean Elgar, the skipper of South Africa, says that they wanted to take a bold decision of batting first and they are very happy with the result. Tells that after having lost the previous game, they wanted to make a strong comeback and he is very happy with the kind of character that his team showed in this Test. Says that they didn't do their basics right in the first Test and were eager to correct their mistakes this time around. Tells that they have some talented young players in their ranks and they will be looking to build a strong team going forward.
Tom Latham, the skipper of New Zealand, says that this is not the outcome they were looking for. Says that they were not able to build enough partnerships and weren't able to put a good first innings score. Tells that the game was in the balance for the majority of the match but the key moments didn't go their way. Adds that they knew South Africa were going to be at their best. Says that regardless of the conditions, they try to do better. Ends by thanking the South African team for coming to New Zealand.
Kagiso Rabada is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says that it is never easy playing against New Zealand and says that when one plays, one needs to get the job done. Tells that they have been in such situations before. Adds that New Zealand were too good in the first Test but they had to win this one to make it 1-1. Informs that as a pacer, he would love to bowl on the wicket that was used in the first Test. Says that the lower order needed to step up with the bat and that's what they did. On Jamieson's catch, he says that it was a last-second decision to go for it and he is glad that he pulled it off.
Matt Henry is the PLAYER OF THE SERIES. He says that South Africa outplayed them in this match and they deserve to win. Adds that they fought hard but the South Africans were too good for them. Tells that he takes his batting very seriously and he enjoys batting out in the middle. Mentions that they wanted to take it ball-by-ball during the chase but failed to do so.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
Keshav Maharaj is up for a quick chat. He says that it was nice to take the last wicket and end the proceedings. Mentions that the coaching staff put faith in him and thanks them for supporting him and giving him the opportunity. Adds that luckily the rain gods were on their side and managed to get them back on the field. Says that he just keeps bowling and bowling when he is not playing and tries to follow a routine. Informs that the coaches have been working with him in the nets and on the various aspects of his game
South Africa's second innings saw their wicketkeeper, Kyle Verreynne scoring his maiden Test hundred and Verreynne along with Rabada and Mulder made sure that New Zealand chase a mammoth total in the final innings. Well, chasing 426 runs was always going to be a tough ask and the Kiwis didn't get off to a good start either. Devon Conway and Tom Blundell dug in deep but they too perished at a crucial juncture in the game and then it was just a matter of time before they were bowled out. The lower order batters did show some fight but surviving the day was always going to be a huge challenge. Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj took three wickets apiece in the final innings and that ended New Zealand's hopes of winning a Test series against South Africa.
Earlier in the Test, it were the South African batters that set the tone for them as their opener Sarel Erwee notched up his maiden Test hundred. He was well-supported by the other batters which ensured that South Africa put on a good first innings total. Then with the ball, it was Kagiso Rabada who grabbed a five-wicket haul and apart from Daryl Mitchell and Colin de Grandhomme who brought up his second Test hundred, no other New Zealand batter looked promising, and as a result, South Africa got a healthy lead of 71 runs in the first innings.
What a comeback this has been from the Proteas after suffering a thumping defeat in the first Test. South Africa have managed to draw the series 1-1 and they are yet to lose a Test series against the Kiwis. It has been a complete team performance from them and they deserve to win this Test. New Zealand would be disappointed with the way they went about things in this Test, especially after a comprehensive win in the previous match but they have been completely outplayed by the tourists in the second Test.

Keshav Maharaj To Matt Henry OUT!
OUT! LBW! Keshav Maharaj ends the proceedings. Took a little longer than what they would have wanted but doesn't matter as they have won this Test. Flatter and quicker, on middle and leg, coming in with the angle. Matt Henry presses forward and looks to block but misses. He gets pinged on the front pad. Keshav Maharaj turns and appeals. The umpire raises his dreaded finger. Matt Henry does go for the review. The UltraEdge shows a flat line and the Ball Tracker shows all three reds. The on-field decision stands. Celebrations all around as South Africa win by 198 runs!
Review! Matt Henry has opted for a review after being adjudged LBW! That did look plumb to the naked eye! Yes, it is. The Ball Tracker indicates three reds and New Zealand are bowled out.

The players have made their way out in the middle. Neil Wagner and Matt Henry are at the crease. Kagiso Rabada to complete his over. Here we go...
UPDATE - 8.05 am IST (2.35 am GMT) - Good news for South Africa and their fans as the covers have started to come off and it looks like it was just a passing shower. The play should resume after the Tea break unless the raingods have some other plans.
South Africa are just one wicket away from a victory now and it is just a matter of time before they get that! New Zealand's batters have worked hard but the bowling from the Proteas has been equally good. New Zealand headed into the Lunch break at the loss of Conway's wicket but it looked like it would take long for the South African bowlers to get the remaining wickets. However, they got success immediately after the break before it evaded them as Colin de Grandhomme was dropped. But Marco Jansen came in from the other end and kept bowling short. His ploy worked as Blundell and Colin de Grandhomme fell prey to it and then Kyle Jamieson and Tim Southee too followed them. South Africa are on the cusp of winning this Test and levelling the series but will have to wait a little longer. They will hope that the rain vanishes quickly and they wrap things up in the final session.
UPDATE - 7.45 am IST (2.15 am GMT) - All of a sudden, it has started to rain heavily and the umpires ask the players to walk off the field. The South Africa players do not want to leave the field and are standing disappointed while the New Zealand batters quickly start running towards the pavilion. Covers have come on now and also, early Tea has been taken!

We are back for the middle session! The players stride out to the middle. Tom Blundell and Colin de Grandhomme jog out to the middle as well. Marco Jansen to start the second session with the ball.
... Day 5, Session 2 ...
The Kiwis need 246 runs to win while South Africa require five wickets to level the series. We are in for another intriguing session which could also turn out to be the final one of this Test. Do join us for the post-Lunch session which begins at 6.10 am IST (12.40 am GMT).
New Zealand started off well in the first session and it was Tom Blundell who came out with a positive intent of scoring runs. Conway also started to play some shots once he got his eye in and the Kiwis were scoring at a brisk rate. Although, Devon Conway fell short of his hundred and it was Lutho Sipamla who provided South Africa with the much-needed breakthrough. The South African bowlers have had to work hard for their wickets and it is Keshav Maharaj who has been the most impressing of them on this track. Also, the second new ball is due in 10 overs but South Africa would be keen to make the most damage before that.
The first session of Day 5 was always going to be crucial and at one point, it seemed like New Zealand would go unscathed into Lunch but the wicket of Conway has certainly turned the tide back in South Africa's favour. They did score 86 runs in the first session but have lost the key wicket of Conway.

DRINKS! So the first hour belongs to New Zealand. The pair of Tom Blundell and Devon Conway have done well to play out the first few overs. South Africa have bowled well but their bowlers haven't got much assistance from the surface. Keshav Maharaj holds the key here for South Africa and it is just a matter of time before he would be introduced into the attack. There you go! Keshav Maharaj comes to bowl now.

We are all set for the live action! The players stride out to the middle. Devon Conway and Tom Blundell walk out to resume their innings. Kagiso Rabada has the ball in hand. Let's go...
South Africa set a mammoth target of 426 on Day 4 and then it was Rabada who breathed fire once again with the ball. New Zealand are 94/4 at the moment and Devon Conway looks settled but needs a massive support from others if they are to take the game deep. It will need a miracle from hereon to prevent the Proteas from levelling the series. They will look to give their all but as things stand, South Africa are in a pole position to win this Test and square the series. Can they script a famous win? Or will the Kiwis have something in store for us? All the answers coming your way shortly.
Hello and a warm welcome to Day 5 - the final day of the second Test between New Zealand and South Africa. Day 4 turned out to be an enthralling one as the Proteas bossed the game and this Test is moving to an interesting finish. South Africa are on the cusp of a famous away victory after a poor first Test. The first hour is going to be a very crucial one for both the teams. Let's see how the day pans out.
... Day 5, Session 1 ...
Right then, that is all we have from Day 4 of this Test match. It has been a day where South Africa have tightened their grip on this game and are just 6 wickets away from a memorable win at Hagley Oval. Can they script a famous win after being demolished in the first Test match on this very ground? Or will New Zealand display some character and resolve to save this Test. All the answers coming your way on Day 5. The first ball will be bowled at 3.30 am IST (10 pm GMT, previous day). But as usual, our buildup will begin well in advance. Until then, goodbye and cheers!
New Zealand were quite poor on Day 4, to be honest. The bowling lacked penetration and the absence of a spinner in their attack will be a matter of discussion for sometime now. They could not put a lid on the scoring rate either and that meant that they were almost knocked out of the game with 426 runs to chase in the final innings. However, the worst was yet to come as they gave away three early wickets with the bat too. Conway and Mitchell had a decent partnership after that but Mitchell departed towards the fag end to make things even worse for the Blackcaps. The pitch is not that bad to bat on and if the Kiwis manage to apply themselves in the middle on Day 5, they might salvage a draw here, but a tough Day 5 awaits them.
South Africa have taken four wickets in this final session on a pitch that doesn’t have much for the bowlers in it. Rabada and Maharaj were always going to be key for them and they have delivered for their team again in this final session. Rabada sent back both the openers to the hut early and then Maharaj with his crafty spin-bowling got rid of Nicholls and well-set Mitchell to put South Africa right on top. Earlier in the day, they were fantastic with the bat too, as Kyle Verreynne notched up his maiden Test century and Rabada played a whirlwind cameo to post a huge target in front of the Blackcaps.
South Africa have finally managed to break the door and are now in a position where they are the only team that can win this game, at least realistically. After fighting hard for three days, New Zealand have been thoroughly outplayed on Day 4. They have six wickets in hand now and need to bat 90 overs on Day 5 to salvage a draw in this Test. A win for them is hard to imagine even if you put yourself into the shoes of a very optimistic Kiwi supporter.
