    ffs SA have been so lucky. AVD manages to sky 1 between 3 fielders.

    216-3 off 38. Rain stopped play!

    Du Plessis 82* (106)
    ABV 60* (38)

    Not much of a difference in strike rates! Accepting, of course, that Du Plessis had to dig in following the early loss of Amla and De Kock.

    Resuming at 5.45 but now a 43 over match. That won't favour S A as D/L will apply and they only have five of their remaining 12 overs to bat.

    Du Plessis out second ball after the resumption.

    217-4 off 38.2

    Miller, with 20 off 8, has helped S A to 239-4 off 40.

    Miller is spanking the N Z bowling with 38 off 13 now.

    259-4 with 2 overs to go.

    Miller goes for 49 off 18. Had he got a single he would have equaled the W C record for the fastest 50.

    272-5 off 42.2

    281-5. Innings closed. D/L target will be 298 for N Z off their 43 overs.

    Unbelievably, mostly due to a lack of strike, ABV scored just 6 out of the last 75 scored, finishing with 65 off 45.

    N Z off to a flyer with 71-0 off the first 5 overs. S A strike back with McCullum going for 59 off 26.

    Now 72-1 off 7.

    Williamson drags it on and two to Morkel.

    This first semi is boiling up into a very good and tight finish .. SA still keeping 2 slips in place .. interesting

    Couple of silly dismissals (a needless run out and a catch by the keeper down the leg side to Duminy of all people) and N Z on the back foot.

    173-4 off 25 needing 124 off 18

    Elliott and Anderson are now in.

    Steyn and Morkel bowling well going for just 11 runs off the first two overs of the P P.

    You can only sit and admire ABV.

    Couldn't see Cook or Morgan coming on to bowl in the last 10 overs of an ODI. Or keeping wicket for that matter at any time.

    Anderson out in a superb Morkel over for just one run.

    36 off 4 for N Z to win the game. 35 to go through.

    Ronchi goes off first ball of Steyn over.

    Addick Addict Posts: 39,778
    De Kock makes the fatal mistake of taking the bails off for a run our without the ball.

    23 & 22 needed off 2

    Unbelievable scenes. Last ball of the penultimate over and two players collide trying to catch Elliott.

    N Z need 12 to win and 11 to go through off the final over - bowled by Steyn
