Guptill, Williamson steady New Zealand

June 19, 2019 21:02

NZ 32-1 (6 ovs) vs SA 241-6 (49) | Scorecard

Ngidi has started off well too to maintain the pressure from the other end. He gets the ball to come in sharply as Guptill looks to clip it on the leg side but misses and hit on the pads. The South Africans all go up in appeal for leg before wicket which is turned down and they decide against the review with the ball going down the leg side.

Guptill then drives a full wide delivery through the covers for a couple before he is beaten again by the indipper.

Top stuff from both the South African pacers as they are looking quite lively and creating some chances with the new ball.

Extra pace from Rabada as Williamson looks to run it down to thirdman but gets it off the bottom before he defends the next ball watchfully.

Rabada strays down the leg side as Williamson glances it fine past the wicketkeeper for two runs.

Guptill gives Ngidi the charge and looks to whack it out of the ground but misses before he flicks the next ball off his pads through midwicket for a four.

He then plays two cracking straight drives off full pitched deliveries, beating the fielder at mid-off twice for back to back fours.
