South Africa vs New Zealand, 1st ODI at Centurion, Aug 19 2015 - Ball by Ball Commentary

gone, it is all over. Very very interesting cricket from NZ. Milne drills past the bowler and they run through for one. But NZ's batsmen aren't satisfied with just the one though. The mid-off fielder is quick to his right to keep it in and gets in a quick throw to Rabada. Just a slight misfield from Philander at mid-off and Sodhi comes back for two. He is well short though and that means South Africa take a 1-0 lead in the series.

gone this time. Cleaned him up. Cross seamed delivery on off stump on a fuller length, MM makes room to try and drive over cover. But misses. The off stump is broken and NZ are 9 down. Very interesting shot.

and some more runs. Dale Steyn goes short, bouncer on middle and leg. MM gets a little bat of glove on it which agonisingly lobs over Morne van Wky for four more.

low full toss outside off, slogged to deep midwicket where they decide to come back for a suicidal second run. The throw is slightly wide and van Wyk collects cleanly but fails to hit the stumps. Should have been out

in the hitting arc again. But outside off, MM misses the slog-heave again

excellent yorker but NZ get two. Inside-edged just past the stumps. Runs down towards fine leg. But they scamper through for two.

angled across the heaving bat of MM. McClenaghan moves across but misses the slog

banged in halfway down the track again, heaved away to the right of de Villiers at long-on. They come back for two

lower full toss, mistimed off the front foot towards mid-off

slower offcutter once more and cracked away off the front foot way over deep midwicket. Massive six. Interesting times.

shorter offcutter on off stump. Bouncer. Pulled off the front foot to deep square leg

quick delivery this time, Milne swats to long-on with no timing. Just enough to get two though

another boundary. Slower offcutter on middle and leg, Milne helps it along it s way past short fine leg for another boundary

googly again, van Wyk doesn't pick it either. MM misses his sweep and luckily too because he earned his side four extras

skiddy delivery once more, clips the pads and rolls away to fine leg

almost through him. The skiddy delivery with no turn, Milne goes back and tries to cut but just about gets some bat on it

fuller googly again outside off, MM swats it off the front foot to long-on

yorker on middle, drilled back to the bowler

googly first up, outside off. McClenaghan has no idea and is beaten by miles

what a catch Behardien. Stunning catch in the deep. Scintillating stuff. Short ball on middle and off stump, McCullum goes for the pull and executes half-decently. McCullum doesn't bother keeping it down though. Behardien runs around from square leg towards fine leg and completes a really really good catch.
