NZ vs SA Live Cricket Score

1.4 OUT! TAKEN! Superb catch by Tim Southee and New Zealand get the opposition skipper. The first two deliveries were almost on a length and this time Henry serves it a touch fuller, slanting around off at 136.4 kph. It nips away a shade as well after landing. Dean Elgar is drawn forward to drive but it takes the outside edge to third slip where Tim Southee goes down low to his left to take a sharp catch.  1/1

9.3 OUT! TAKEN! Kyle Jamieson gets the wicket in his first over and the debutant's stay at the crease is over! Kyle delivers it on a length, around off and there is some extra pace and bounce as well. Sarel Erwee is squared up as he looks to defend but only manages to get an outside edge to first slip where Daryl Mitchell takes the catch nicely.  20/2

18.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Matt Henry cooks up a spicy delivery. He hurls it around off on the shorter side at 133 kph and gets it to shoot up off the surface. Aiden Markram goes on his toes as he attempts to punch it through the line. He fails to middle his shot and it goes closely past the outside edge to the keeper. There is some sound and Tom Blundell secures the catch behind the stumps. They are celebrating but Aiden Markram is looking unsure. He feels that he has not edged it and goes for the referral. A big spike on the UltraEdge. Aiden will have to go and he takes one review along with him.  36/3

19 OUT! CAUGHT! Matt Henry has two in the over, what an attempt from the speedster! He is getting the ball to talk both ways and looking very lethal. This time he delivers a length ball close to off at 141.5 kph and gets it to move away late. Rassie van der Dussen doesn't do a lot wrong there as he is on the back foot, trying to defend the trajectory of the ball. But the away movement results in a thick outside edge and Tim Southee takes another sharp catch at third slip. New Zealand have four wickets in the morning session thus far and are roaring. Also, a word of praise for Tom Latham who brought on Matt Henry for his second spell and he has done the trick.  37/4

29 OUT! TAKEN! Just when you thought that South Africa are off to a good start, they give away a wicket. Very soft dismissal, this! It was a good over for the Proteas until this ball. A full ball, slanting on the pads. Temba Bavuma flicks it uppishly to short mid-wicket where Devon Conway takes a sharp catch to his right. Half the side down now for the Proteas.  52/5

42.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Matt Henry gets his fourth wicket and another partnership is broken. Short of a length, outside off, extra bounce and some outward movement as well. Hamza has an unnecessary poke at it from the back foot. He gets an outside edge to the keeper, Tom Blundell judges the catch perfectly to his right. End of a fighting knock from Zubayr Hamza.  85/6

46.1 OUT! LBW! Matt Henry was very sure of it and has been rewarded with a wicket. A five-fer for him as well, his first in Test cricket. He has been exceptional thus far. This is full and angling in, from around off, Kyle Verreynne remains on the back foot and looks to flick but misses and gets hit on the pads. A huge shout for LBW but the umpire shakes his head. Matt Henry convinces Tom Latham to take the review by saying that it's full enough and height won't be a factor. No bat there on the UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows three reds and another set batter goes!  88/7

46.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Matt Henry is not done yet and is eyeing to take all the remaining wickets now. The speedster comes from around the wicket and serves a shortish delivery outside off. Kagiso Rabada gets on his toes to defend but it takes the outside edge and flies to the keeper. Tom Blundell takes an easy catch.  88/8

47 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! The debutant goes for a golden duck and Matt Henry is on a hat-trick. Again it's a touch short and around off, it nips away a touch after landing. Glenton Stuurman is squared up as he looks to defend and a faint outside edge goes to the keeper who does the rest. The umpire takes some time before raising his dreaded finger. Matt Henry will have to wait for his hat-trick delivery though. A triple-wicket maiden for him!  88/9

49.2 OUT! TAKEN! This is on a driving length, outside off. Duanne Olivier is tempted and goes for it. Induces an outside edge to second slip where Tom Latham takes a low catch to his right. South Africa are bundled out for 95.  95/10

19 OUT! TIMBER! A peach of a delivery from Duanne Olivier! A sequence of deliveries around off were troubling Latham and he fails to clear this one. A length ball, slanting around off at 130.6 kph. Tom Latham lunges to defend the line but it shapes away late to beat the outside edge of his bat and goes on to clip the top of off stump. The skipper goes now and South Africa continue to pile the pressure. New Zealand trail by 59 runs.  36/2

11.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Relief for Marco Jansen after putting down the catch. He steams in and serves it on a length, around off and angling away. Jansen gets good bounce as well. Will Young remains glued to the crease as he feels for the delivery. Ends up getting a thin outside edge to the keeper, Kyle Verreynne, who pouches it. Good start by Jansen here.  18/1

36.1 OUT! DRAGGED ON! South Africa fight back and get the crucial wicket just near the end of the play. A length ball, outside off and it keeps coming in with the angle. Devon Conway looks to defend from the crease but it takes the inner edge and deflects onto the stumps. A big wicket at a crucial time for the Proteas. Devon Conway goes after showing his defensive attributes. His 75-run stand with Henry Nicholls has kept New Zealand on top.  111/3

77.1 OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! Certainly, there was a lapse in concentration on Henry Nicholls' part after reaching his century and he has eventually fallen. Duanne Olivier speeds in and angles across a full-length ball outside off, at 132.6 kph, the invitation is there to drive and Henry Nicholls falls into the trap. A bit loose from him as he gets forward and edges it towards Aiden Markram at second slip who makes no mistake. A timely breakthrough for South Africa with the second new ball just around the corner. Anyway, a fantastic knock by Henry. Lead is 178 runs.  273/6

53.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Neil Wagner is very disappointed, he has missed out on the opportunity to score his second Test fifty. Anyway, the nightwatchman has done his job for the team - last evening he did his best to protect the main batter and this morning, his counter-punch shell-shocked the touring team. Kagiso Rabada has redeemed himself a bit. Serves it on a fuller length around leg, at 138.7 kph, Neil Wagner flicks it across the line, right from the middle of the bat and he has timed it so well that it carries to Rassie van der Dussen at deep square leg. Should have gone with more power. Neil is walking back, looking at the heavens. The lead for New Zealand is 96 runs now. Daryl Mitchell walks in next to partner Henry Nicholls.  191/4

67.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! That is a sharp catch and it is the first Test wicket for Glenton Stuurman! Just what he needed, he wasn't up to the mark in the morning session but strikes on his second ball after Lunch. Perfect for him and for the Saffas. Lovely shape on that delivery. It is fuller and on off, shapes away late at 134 clicks. Draws Daryl Mitchell into the drive, he does so but due to the movement, ends up playing inside the line. It flies off the outside edge to first slip where Elgar takes a sharp catch in front of his face. Can this be the start of something for the visitors?  239/5

117.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Heartbreak for Tom Blundell. Beauty of a delivery! Jansen serves it on a good length around off and takes it away with the angle. Tom Blundell hangs on the back foot and feels for it inside the line. It goes very closely past the outside edge and the keeper appeals after collecting the ball. The finger stays down and Elgar gets convinced to take the DRS. There is a spike on the UltraEdge and New Zealand are all out for 482.  482/10

91 OUT! Colin de Grandhomme holes out! This was the trap laid by Elgar as he played on the ego of the batter by bringing in Aiden Markram. Floated and full, landing around off, Colin de Grandhomme advances down the track and tries to clear long on. He fails to get the desired distance and it's an easy catch for Marco Jansen in the deep. End of a very good knock by Colin. The 76-run stand has been broken and New Zealand lead by 254 runs.  349/7

96.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Markram has two and the move to continue with him after the Tea break has worked. Floated and full, landing around off, Kyle Jamieson tries to pump it down the ground but only manages to slice it in the air towards wide mid off. Kagiso Rabada settles underneath it and takes an easy catch. New Zealand lead by 273 runs.  368/8

101 OUT! TAKEN! This time the fielder hangs on. It is the debutant, Sarel Erwee! Rabada finally gets his man and flashes a smile. This is short and on middle, Tim Southee looks to pull, he tries to do so off the front foot but is beaten for pace. It goes off the top edge, up in the air towards covers, Sarel Erwee does not look comfortable under it but manages to hang on and then tumbles onto the ground. He sees the funny side of it as his teammates come to pat his back.  388/9

0.2 OUT! GIVEN LBW! The debutant departs for a duck and it's a very poor start for South Africa. Southee hurls in a length around middle, getting it to shape back in, Sarel Erwee is stuck inside the crease and fails to keep it out as he attempts to flick. He is pinged on the pads, the appeal is made and the finger has gone up. Sarel Erwee has a nervous look on his face, has a word with his skipper regarding the DRS and then walks back. New Zealand will be smelling blood at the moment.  0/1

3.3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Henry has his first for this innings and his 8th in the game. Gets the big wicket of Elgar for the second time in the match! Almost a similar delivery that dismissed Dean Elgar in the first innings. This lands on off and it is just behind a driving length. Elgar is drawn into the drive but the ball lands and moves away. Elgar pushes at it ahead of his body, one hand also comes off, the ball takes the edge and goes to the keeper. South Africa are in big trouble now. There is still time for the Kiwis to take a couple more.  2/2

4.1 OUT! TAKEN! New Zealand have got three! This is an absolute disaster for the visitors. The hosts are all over them once again. This is a perfect outswinging delivery. Starts on middle and shapes away. It is on a length, Markram is squared up as he tries to defend and the outside edge flies to first slip where Daryl Mitchell takes it safely.  4/3

9.2 OUT! TIMBER! Well, nothing has changed for South Africa as New Zealand have come with the same determination. What a peach of delivery this is! It lands on a length around off and shapes back in. Rassie van der Dussen is on the front foot, looks to defend but the ball goes through the gate and rattles the stumps. Not a lot that Rassie did wrong there, maybe because he was half forward, the seam movement found a tiny hole in his defense. He has a bemused look on his face. Walks forward, taps the pitch a bit and then returns to the pavilion. Superb start for New Zealand.  34/4

28.3 OUT! Given LBW! This time there isn't much doubt in the mind of the umpire. Wagner comes up with a superb inswinging delivery. He pitches it full around middle, at 129.6 kph, Bavuma presses forward in defense but it beats the inner edge and goes on to hit him on the back leg. They appeal and the finger has gone up. Temba opts for the DRS. No bat on the UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows that it's clipping the top of the stumps. Umpire's call and South Africa lose their sixth wicket. Temba Bavuma returns after offering some fight.  87/6

19.1 OUT! CAUGHT! Kyle Jamieson has a habit to take a wicket in the first two overs of his spell and he has done it yet again. This is full and around off, with some extra bounce, as it jags away a shade. Hamza is drawn forward in defense but the seam movement takes the outside edge and the ball flies to first slip where Daryl Mitchell takes it low. Half the side dismissed for South Africa.  46/5

29.5 OUT! CAUGHT! 200th Test wicket in New Zealand for Tim Southee. A typical Southee wicket. The seam is pointing towards the slip cordon and it nips away after landing on a good length outside off. Kyle Verreynne stays rooted to his crease as he lets his hands go after the ball. The away movement results in an outside edge and Colin de Grandhomme reacts to his right at third slip to grab the catch safely. New Zealand are only three wickets away from going 1-0 up in the series.  91/7

38.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! It was the last over before the Lunch break but now the session will be extended and New Zealand have the chance to end things in the morning itself. Neil Wagner continues to angle across a short delivery. Both the batters were having a poke at it but this time, Marco Jansen runs out of his luck. The outside edge is induced and Tom Blundell does the rest. The hosts are just one wicket away from winning the first Test match.  105/9

33.1 OUT! What a catch by Kyle Jamieson! New Zealand are two wickets away now! This is full and around off, it nips back in. Rabada looks to drive but gets it away off the inside edge to short mid-wicket where Kyle Jamieson brings his big frame down quickly to pouch a low catch. The ball was dying but Jamieson did well to get his fingers under it.  97/8

41.4 OUT! LBW! Tim Southee finishes things off. He goes wide of the crease and angles a length ball, around middle and leg, Glenton Stuurman hangs on his back foot to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal for LBW is made but that looked like going down. The umpire remains unmoved. Tom Latham is not too convinced when he decides to take the DRS but it turns out to be in his favour as the Ball Tracking shows three reds. Wonderful bowling by Tim Southee, he finishes with a five-wicket haul. New Zealand win the match by an innings and 276 runs!  111/10
