South Africa vs New Zealand, 2nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Gerald Coetzee to Tim Robinson, SIX, this is turning into a fine finish for New Zealand. Second six in the over. Short and down leg, all Robinson had to do was put bat on ball, he swivels around and nails the pull over deep backward square

Gerald Coetzee to Bevon Jacobs, SIX, full and in the slot, Jacobs opens his front leg to get a free swing of the bat and he smokes the loft over long-on

Corbin Bosch to Tim Robinson, FOUR, shot! Nothing much wrong with the delivery. Very full and close to yorker length, Robinson backs away and opens the bat face, squeezes the drive in front of square and the ball races away

Corbin Bosch to Tim Robinson, FOUR, neatly done! Fullish delivery around off, Robinson shuffles across, bends down and laps it over short fine

Kwena Maphaka to Bevon Jacobs, SIX, thumped! Another slower delivery and Jacobs has picked the bones out of that, he takes a step down the wicket and lofts through the line. He gets it right off the middle and the ball sails over long-off

Gerald Coetzee to Bevon Jacobs, FOUR, the extra delivery costs Coetzee and South Africa four runs. Jacobs charges down and throws the kitchen sink on the big shot, the outside edge flies past a diving Lhuan-dre Pretorius

Gerald Coetzee to Tim Robinson, SIX, fifty for Robinson. Not a quick knock, it has taken him 42 balls but it has kept the scoreboard ticking as wickets fell from one end. He raises his bat and acknowledges the applause. Short and wide outside off, Robinson does not bother to keep the cut down and sends it a long way over the deep backward point fence

Ngidi to Bevon Jacobs, wide, off-pace delivery down leg, Jacobs moves inside the line and misses the glance

Ngidi to Bevon Jacobs, SIX, fabulous shot! For a second it seemed Jacobs was deceived there but he has middled that beautifully. Shimmies down and is met by a slower delivery, checks his loft and times the pants off it, the ball comfortably sails over the rope

Corbin Bosch to Tim Robinson, FOUR, good over, 10 runs. Bosch goes short and into the wicket, does not get the same kind of zip as his colleagues, sits up nicely and Robinson nails the pull in front of square, beats deep mid-wicket comfortably

Corbin Bosch to Tim Robinson, FOUR, wrong line and a much needed boundary for New Zealand. Bosch strays onto the pads, Robinson hangs back and tucks it backward of square. The timing is superb as the ball races away..

Kwena Maphaka to Neesham, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! New Zealand in trouble. They are 5 down and Neesham goes without scoring. It could have been even worse had Rassie held on to Robinson's chance. Another batter who falls for the short ball. Neesham takes it on and gets it high on the bat, the ball goes straight up and Bosch settles near deep square leg, good catch. Neesham was hitting to the shorter side unlike Seifert and Mitchell. Neesham c Corbin Bosch b Kwena Maphaka 0(2)

Kwena Maphaka to Tim Robinson, 1 run, dropped! Rassie has put down a regulation catch. Good length ball around off, Robinson drives on the rise and does not keep it down, Rassie moves to his right and gets it at a good height but he fails to hang on. He does send in a direct hit at the bowler's end but Robinson was well in before the stumps were flattened

Muthusamy to Mitchell Hay, out Lbw!! Maiden T20I wicket for Muthusamy. The umpire thought long and hard before raising the finger. The arm-ball which skids on and catches Hay in the crease, he's beaten for pace and the ball strikes him on the back pad. Was it sliding down leg? The umpire thought about it and ruled it in favour of the bowling side. Remember no reviews in this series. Mitchell Hay lbw b Muthusamy 2(3)

Gerald Coetzee to Mitchell, out Caught by Kwena Maphaka!! Coetzee is pumped. He's got the big wicket of Mitchell. A typical Coetzee wicket. Short and pounded into the surface, Mitchell takes it on and the ball gets big on him, the pull comes off the top-edge and the ball skies in front of deep square leg, Maphaka comes in and takes a good catch. Mitchell c Kwena Maphaka b Gerald Coetzee 5(5)

Gerald Coetzee to Tim Robinson, FOUR, Robinson getting a move on. 10 off his last 2 balls. Short of length delivery, Robinson swivels around and pulls it past mid-wicket. Not quite convincing but the ball races away..

Linde to Tim Robinson, SIX, massive! That's outta here. Robinson needed that. He was on 10 from 15 balls. Shimmies down the wicket, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it brutally over the long-on fence

Linde to Tim Robinson, 2 runs, fraction short close to off, Robinson makes room and cracks it behind square, couple more

Corbin Bosch to Tim Robinson, FOUR, fullish delivery and once more Robinson had the space to free his arms, tonks the drive uppishly wide of mid-off and the ball races away..

Kwena Maphaka to Conway, out Caught by Lhuan-dre Pretorius!! Maphaka has the last laugh. He conceded a couple of fours in this over but in the end picks up the wicket of Conway. Short and banged into the surface, Conway attempts the cross-batted shot and gets a top-edge, the ball goes straight up and Lhuan-dre Pretorius takes a few steps forward to complete the catch. Conway c Lhuan-dre Pretorius b Kwena Maphaka 9(7) [4s-2]

Kwena Maphaka to Conway, FOUR, there was deep backward point in place but Conway played this in front of square. Overpitched outside off, Conway bends the back and opens the bat face on the drive, hit it uppishly but well wide of the cover-point fielder

Kwena Maphaka to Conway, FOUR, Conway's turn to step on the gas. Only his second ball in 3.1 overs. Full delivery outside off, Conway opens the bat face and drives square of the wicket. He pierces the packed off-side field expertly

Ngidi to Seifert, out Caught by Muthusamy!! This time the miscue is taken. Slower off-cutter and Seifert was deceived for pace, the bat turns in his hands as attempts the big shot, the bottom hand comes off the bat handle and he ends up dragging it towards deep square leg. Muthusamy runs to his left and takes a good catch. That was the 78-meter boundary which Seifert took on and failed to clear. Seifert c Muthusamy b Ngidi 22(16) [4s-4]

Ngidi to Seifert, FOUR, not off the middle but enough to bring him another boundary. Fullish delivery and Seifert drags the heave off the inner half over mid-wicket. The ball beats the deep square leg fielder..

Kwena Maphaka to Seifert, FOUR, just over Hermann. Full pitcher outside off, the line and length was there to be smashed but Seifert does not get the elevation he would have liked, but does enough to clear Hermann near mid-off

Kwena Maphaka to Seifert, FOUR, streaky! Angled across the batter, Seifert makes room and pushes with hard hands, the outside edge races away behind square, splitting short third and backward point

Ngidi to Seifert, FOUR, on a length and outside off, there was width on offer and Seifert was not holding back, throws the kitchen sink on the big shot and slices it over the cover-point region
