New Zealand vs South Africa, 1st T20I at Wellington, , Feb 17 2012 - Ball by Ball Commentary

New Zealand wrap it up in comprehensive fashion! Franklin drills a full ball outside off through the covers and it rolls over the rope as the home side take out the 1st Twenty20 International by 6 wickets

full on middle and driven down the ground by Franklin, well placed and they get back for a couple

drives a full ball down to long-on and Guptill is as fast as a hare and they push through for a couple, run-a-ball needed from the final over

tries to bang it in short on middle but it sits up and Franklin opens the face and guides it to third man

backs away and mistimes the slice down the ground to long-off on the bounce

dabs into the off side to get off the mark

smacks a full ball down the ground to long-off

de Grandhomme tries to finish it early with a six over midwicket, but skies the pull high into the deep where Levi, described by David Leggat in the New Zealand Herald as having the 'build of a prop', takes the catch safely and gives the fans some words

and follows up with a flat batted smack down the ground over the boundary at mid-off

a sharp bouncer on off at 139kph which smashes into the helmet of Guptill. He goes down quickly but is back up soon and reassures everyone he is ok, second player hit in the head tonight after Levi

full on middle and Guptill plays with an incredibly straight backlift and followthrough as he gets it just past the stumps down the ground into the deep

de Grandhomme goes for a swing to leg and the ball gets tangled up in his pads and dribbles down the wicket as they rush through

full on off and smeared across the line into the midwicket region

fired in full on leg, beats the poke and hits the pad on leg, possibly going down as the umpire turns down a loud appeal, meanwhile they sneak a run

poor call by Kane there, flicked straight to short midwicket and he sets off, Albie Morkel charges in and picks up before swivelling and throwing down the stumps at the bowler's end with Kane having already given up

backs away and uppercuts a short ball outside off over the ring to the backward point boundary

fired in way down leg and he doesn't need to play at that

misses the pull and hits the protective equipment, drops on the pitch and Guptill runs through and puts in a full-length dive to get home

skied high in the air beyond the edge of the circle at mid-off and Tsotsobe running back can't get a hand to it

dropped down at his feet from a short length, rolls behind the stumps where AB quickly throws the stumps down with Kane stretching back after stepping out to think of a run, there is a frame in it but he seems to be safe by a very small margin
