A fine display from New Zealand, their first one-dayer for nine months - and all without Scott Styris and Shane Bond. Furthermore, they lost the toss - yet have beaten South Africa quite comprehensively in the end. It was, as Stephen Fleming might say in the post-match press conference, rather a good toss to lose. Graeme Smith, though he might fancy his side's ability to chase down large totals, hadn't wagered on the pitch turning quite as prodigiously as it did. Patel and Vettori - allied with sprightly, electric fielding (not to mention a brilliant spell of fast bowling from Mills) - were the difference.
We hope you enjoyed our live ball-by-ball coverage of today's match, and do keep an eye out for the bulletin, verdict and post-match quotes from the leading figures of the day. Join us tomorrow for Pakistan's match against Sri Lanka (see here for the full list of fixtures). Until then, it's goodbye.
GONE and what a delivery to end this match! He ripped it hard and flat, outside the off stump and it turned quite markedly; the extra pace, as much as the spin, left Ntini no hope in defending it and it broke through the gate to remove his off bail. Terrific display of spin bowling from Patel, taking full advantage of a low, slow, crumbling pitch
Can Patel finish it off?
flatter and yorker length, Ntini uses the extra pace in the delivery to chip it over Vettori's head for a quick single...and he retains the strike
defended once more
defended back to the bowler
jaffa! Looping, turning delivery which beat the right-hander all ends up. Lovely bowling, and tidy wicketkeeping from McCullum too
very neatly late-cut for a scampered single. Deft stroke
hit with great power but straight to cover
comes forward with a huge stride to meet the ball and carves it out into the covers
got him! Now that's a real cracker, superbly bowled from Patel. He gave that an extra rip; the quicker ball, flatter too, and it beat the batsman all ends up. He was in no position to counter the spin, his wafty defensive, and utterly horizontal stroke making no contact and off came the bail.
well bowled! Quicker ball which hurries the batsman who jams his bat down just in time
a spectacular swing-and-a-miss. It's do or die, now.
oops, nearly got into a tangle there...feet like concrete
better aggression from the batsman this time who comes down the pitch, meets the pitch of the ball and smashes him over long-on
more prodigious drift and turn for Patel and half an appeal from the bowler and wicketkeeper, but it hit nothing
