Williamson, de Grandhomme put NZ in control

June 19, 2019 23:57

NZ 216-5 (45 ovs) vs SA 241-6 (49) | Scorecard

Williamson taps Phehlukwayo for a single to bring up New Zealand's 200 before de Grandhomme gets a thick outside edge off the next for a four.

He nudges the next ball to square leg for one before Williamson pulls a short ball for two runs wide of long-on.

Williamson swings a full toss straight into the hands of Ngidi at fine leg who drops the easy catch but it wouldn't have mattered as the umpire rules it a no-ball for height.

De Grandhomme hits the free hit delivery down the ground for a single and Williamson clips the last ball to fine leg for one to get 12 from the over.

Morris to bowl his final over. A watchful Williamson defends the first two balls before taking one off the third. De Grandhomme pokes at one outside the off-stump and is beaten before he digs out a yorker.

He makes up for it as he swings the last ball of the over for a four over midwicket to bring up his fifty in some style, from 39 balls.

A good outing with the ball for Morris as he finishes with three for 49 in 10 overs.

New Zealand in control as they need 26 from four overs for victory with two well-set batsmen out in the middle.
