SA vs NZ Live Cricket Score

7.4 OUT! CAUGHT! A decision that will be debated for a while, but it brings redemption for Rachin Ravindra. After dropping Aiden Markram earlier when he was on 3, he has made amends for that blemish. Tossed up from around the wicket, full and on middle. Markram gives himself room and swings to go back over the bowler's head with a horizontal bat. He does not quite go through with the shot completely and it goes flat towards long on. Daryl Mitchell runs in off the ropes and dives forward. The ball is dipping on him. He reaches out in front, and the ball lands on his palms on the full as he scoops the ball by getting his hands under the ball. South Africa are 55/3, as this 43-run partnership is broken. 55/3

1.4 OUT! CAUGHT! The ploy to bring an offie early has worked wonders for the Kiwis. Cole drags the length back, keeping the line of attack on middle and leg, drifting in further. Quinton de Kock is cramped for space, but he still opts to hit it over the infield again, and mistimes it badly towards mid on. Lockie Ferguson settles under it and takes a simple catch at the edge of the ring. South Africa are 12/1. 12/1

1.5 OUT! TAKEN! Would you believe it? Two in two for Cole McConchie and he is on a hat-trick now. He goes short and outside off, and it spins away slightly. Ryan Rickelton presses back and slashes hard at it to cut it through the point gap, but the ball catches the outer half. It balloons to the backward point fielder. A simple catching practice for Finn Allen there. 12/2

10.2 OUT! CAUGHT! A soft, soft dismissal and things are spiralling down badly for the Proteas now. They needed Brevis to stay till the end, but he goes back. It’s right in the slot and Brevis goes hard at it, looking to smash it through covers. But it flies off the outside half of the bat instead of the middle. The timing isn’t quite there, and the ball spoons up tamely to cover. Santner moves across and takes a simple catch to his left. South Africa are 77/5. 77/5

10 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE THIS TIME! Daryl Mitchell makes no mistake. Glenn Phillips will be a relieved man. David Miller knew it as soon as he hit it. Brave from Ravindra to toss it up, but the line is a bit wide. Miller collapses his back knee and reaches out. He aims to go back over the bowler's head. Cuts across it and it is skied towards long off. Mitchell settles himself under the skier on the fence, where he stays side on and takes the catch to his left. Halfway through, South Africa are 4 down for 77. Wicket number 2 for Rachin. 77/4

18.1 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Lockie Ferguson strikes on his return to the attack. Ferguson steams in from around the wicket and serves it on a good length, on middle and leg. Stubbs is standing with an open stance. He clears the front leg and has a swing across the line. The leg-cutter goes under the blade and brushes the back leg before uprooting the middle pole. Ferguson gets his first wicket and he breaks the 73-run partnership. South Africa are 150/6. 150/6

19.3 OUT! TIMBER! Excellent execution from Matt Henry. Cross-seam delivery, right at the base of the off stump. Bosch has a swing at it, but the ball drops on him and dips under his bat to shatter the stumps. Henry gets his first and South Africa are 166/7. 166/7

19.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Oh, dear! Just a chip from Kagiso Rabada, and he ends up picking out the fielder. Marco Jansen is stuck at the other end. Henry spots Rabada backing away and he follows him with a full ball. Kagiso swings through the line and just checks his lofted hit instead of going through the shot completely. He times it too well, and it goes straight down the throat of long on, where James Neesham makes no mistake. Henry is on a hat-trick. 166/8

9.1 OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Finally, finally, something to clutch onto for the Proteas as Kagiso Rabada breaks the enormous 117-run opening stand. No celebrations from Rabada, just a cold, straight face as he knows they are still way behind in the game. It is a length ball that jags back into the batter off the rough patch. Tim Seifert lines up for a pull shot, but the ball skids low, beats the inside edge and crashes into the stumps behind. One of the two bails flew all the way down to the deep fine leg fence. A sublime knock from Tim comes to an end. New Zealand need 53 from 65 balls. 117/1
