Bowlers lead South Africa's fightback

June 19, 2019 22:30

NZ 105-4 (26 ovs) vs SA 241-6 (49) | Scorecard

Williamson is looking quite solid as he takes a single off Tahir. The leggie then has a huge appeal for LBW turned down against Neesham, who goes for the sweep but misses and is hit on the pads.

The ball pitched outside the line of leg stump and South Africa rightly decide against the review.

Neesham plays out the rest of the over as Tahir bowls another tidy over, he has conceded just 12 runs from his first five overs.

Ngidi deceives Williamson with the slower ball as it comes in sharply and stays a bit low to go under the bat.,

He sends down a maiden over as New Zealand struggle in the middle overs, have scored just a single off the last 12 balls, including 11 dots in a row.

Neesham looks to break the shackles as he tries to slog Tahir from outside the off-stump over midwicket but it spins sharply off the rough to beat the right-hander.

Just three runs from the last three overs as New Zealand start to feel the pressure, but they don't have anything to worry till Williamson is out there in the middle.

He has batted solidly to score 46 from 65 balls and holds the key to their chances of chasing down this total.
