Thanks for joining our coverage for this game. We'll see you at the next one. Bye-bye.
Ross Taylor is Man of the Match.
7pm Phew! What a match! New Zealand did really well to strange South Africa in the middle and then did really poorly to let them back in. But they edged it out in all the important phases - two solid partnerships in the middle overs when batting, and top-class death bowling to eek out a win. Quinton de Kock and JP Duminy in particular will feel prickly when they try to go to bed tonight - they got in and threw it away. AB de Villiers wasn't new to this situation, and played it sensibly, but fell at a crucial time, as did Miller. That's the end of their winning streak that lasted 12 games.
New Zealand got efforts from all their seniors - Williamson, Taylor, Southee and Boult. Santner was brilliant as well - 2 for 46. They didn't deserve to lose.
Shaheer: "Well, Boult made up for that catch drop with a stunning match winning over"
This has to go the distance
Right. Southee, around the wicket. 15 off 6 balls
Even though Mike Hesson avoided talking about Ross Taylor's position in the T20 team, the New Zealand coach spoke highly of Taylor as an ODI batsman
An XI with ten batsmen should have given South Africa enough resources to chase 290 but it may have done the opposite, according to AB de Villiers
Ross Taylor struck his 17th ODI century and Trent Boult produced 3 for 63, helping New Zealand scrape to a six-run, series-levelling victory against South Africa in Christchurch
Plays of the day from the second ODI between New Zealand and South Africa at Christchurch
The number 13 is unlucky for some. For South Africa it will mark a new record winning streak in one-day internationals if they overcome New Zealand in Christchurch
