7.55 pm What a finish for New Zealand. It didn't look perfect. It didn't even look possible, but Colin de Grandhomme and Tim Southee have put up a total that is a pretty good match for South Africa's long batting line-up. Five of the last six balls of the innings went screaming to the boundary. As far as late flourishes go, that's seriously late and a serious flourish. Join us in about 20 minutes for the chase.

Gagan: "Morris 1st 5 over 24-4 , next 2 overs 38-0 with last over going fir 25.."

AlistairDiamond: "they did it! I stopped believing, but it came good. Equivalent of 300 off 50 overs. game on!"

In women's cricket, New Zealand have just beaten Australia in the second T20I thanks to a final-over hat-trick.

Morris to Southee, FOUR, what a strike. This is nothing more than a whip of the wrists, taking the ball from almost a yorker length on leg stump. What a surge. This partnership has put on 51 runs in only 23 balls

Morris to Southee, SIX, invokes the chant to bring out Sixer Southee. And it goes something like this - length ball, wide ball, perfect to free the arms and that's six over long-off

Morris to Southee, FOUR, there's a little luck going New Zealand's way. It's a bouncer on middle and leg, Southee goes for a hook and gets a top edge over the keeper. Southee and de Grandhomme yanking the game back to neutral

Morris to Southee, FOUR, carves it to the right of the sweeper! Not too many cricket balls have been hit harder than that. Especially considering Southee was backing away at the start, then has to reach out with Morris bowling wide outside off.

Morris to de Grandhomme, 1 run, full and wide outside off, de Grandhomme scythes it behind point, but he can't beat Amla at point

Morris to de Grandhomme, SIX, that's poor bowling. Full toss, check. Down leg, check. And though fine leg is back, he is simply a spectator. Gets under the ball and shovels it away

Final over of the innings. De Grandhomme on strike. Last five overs, 45 runs.

samraat : "1st Time in Last 10 ODIs Tahir has gone Wicketless. Something to cheer for Blackcaps #SAvsNZ #NZvSA"

Kiran: "SA are trampling past everything in their away like a tornado and NZ seem like another team caught in the eye of the storm. Teams that are not scheduled to play SA in current form will be relieved to steer clear. "

Rabada to de Grandhomme, 1 run, full and outside off, pushes it to mid-off for a single
32.5
2
Rabada to de Grandhomme, 2 runs, low full toss on off stump, it's whipped away to deep midwicket for a couple of runs. Although de Grandhomme isn't entirely stretching himself. Perhaps he doesn't think the throw will come to his end. Alarm bells rang just in time though
32.4
6
Rabada to de Grandhomme, SIX, but when it's length and when there's width, de Grandhomme's power comes into play. Slashes it over point. Short boundaries. Massive payoff
