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

South Africa continued to bestride their opponent, New Zealand, in the second Test to end Day 3 with a substantial lead. Ever since the hosts lost the toss and were surprisingly inserted into bat on a track that historically cracks up as the match progresses, South Africa haven't put a foot wrong.

They notched up 481 on the board before the trio of Kagiso Rabada, Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander shared eight spoils between them to help South Africa gain a first innings lead of 267. Only Kane Williamson played with poise and equanimity to amass a gritty 77.

South Africa, though, didn't enforce the follow-on and decided to bat for the second time. Boult and Southee finally got the new ball to swing to run through the top-order. The impressive Wagner and Bracewell chipped in with a wicket each, but with an overall lead of 372, the home team hold all the aces.
