SA 59-2 (14 ovs) vs NZ | Scorecard
Henry continues as he bowls another maiden over, his second in a row. He has bowled in good channels today and kept things tight from his end. Infact, he was very close to getting the edge as du Plessis poked at a wide one and was beaten.
Lockie Ferguson comes into the attack in place of Boult, who took one for 29 in five overs in his first spell.
A single to Amla off the first ball before Du Plessis gets a thick outside edge three balls later for one.
Amla hits the last ball square on the off-side for two runs to bring up his 8000 runs in ODIs.
A long first spell for Henry as he continues to bowl his seventh over in a row.
Du Plessis picks one off the first ball to mid-off before Amla clips the fourth ball through midwicket and gets three runs.
Du Plessis plays a wonderful straight drive off the last ball for a four as Henry finally goes for runs after some tight bowling early on.
Amla and Du Plessis looking to take charge now. The pitch has also flattened as Amla slaps a wide delivery from Ferguson past point for three runs.
Du Plessis then crashes a wide full delivery through the covers for a boundary to raise the 50-run stand for the second wicket from 71 balls.
Ferguson responds with a quick bouncer as du Plessis sways out of the way before he is bowled by a yorker next ball.
The short ball is followed by a pacy yorker as du Plessis is unable to get his bat down in time and bowled for 23. Superb bowling by Ferguson to set up du Plessis, who was looking in good touch.
