Akshay will take you through the start of the chase.

Jonathan: "Why only a ten minute change around?" --- Because the innings ended early, the break will go on as scheduled.

Mark: "There's only one word to describe the NZ innings - inept! Inept running between the wickets, inept shot selection, inept use (or lack of) DRS. Coupled with a poor umpiring decision and that is a very much sub-par performance."

Suresh Bhati: "Figures of Imran Tahir are really impressive. Its been long long time i haven't seen figures on one dayer's with 10 Overs for only 14 runs."

5 pm And that's that. New Zealand have folded dramatically in a complete anti-climax for the series decider. There were no demons in this pitch - just a bit of bounce and pace. Hardly any movement. Kane Williamson was the only batsman who looked solid here, getting behind the line. Neesham, to some extent did it well too. But overall, it was a very ordinary batting effort from New Zealand. They will be disappointed with themselves.

South Africa's bowling performance was professional. They got conditions that suited their line-up and they made full use of it. The pacers kept it tight before Tahir came in with the most economical figures by a South African spinner and joint fourth with Hansie Cronje for South Africans overall. Pollock holds the first three spots.

We'll have South Africa come in shortly, play a couple of overs, and then we'll have the interval.

Rabada to de Grandhomme, OUT, back of a length outside off, walks across and tries to slog this over midwicket, beaten and it goes through to the keeper....who has appealed and asked for a review as the umpire shook his head. And it looks like a good review. Snicko and hotspot indicate there was a tiny feather at the bottom of the bat
