<1 / 3>
all over! yorker on the leg stump, played back to the bowler, Mills holds his nerves and New Zealand win 5 runs!
6 needed from 1 ball
oh dear! he gets another one! this time it is lofted over the long on fence, can he pull this off!
fuller length delivery outside the off stump, Pollock gets stuck to this one and lofts it over the long off fence, can he hit two more?
three sixes needed now
driven wide of the cover fielder, good diving stop there saves two runs
fulltoss outside the off stump, smashed over the cover fence, huge hit
pitched up outside the off stump, played down to the mid off region, just the single
South Africa require another 27 runs with 3 wickets and 6 balls remaining
Mills to bowl the last over
fuller length delivery wide outside the off stump, Pollock slashes hard but makes no connection
makes room and lofts it down to the long on region, just the two
driven wide of the long on fielder, gets back for the second
moves away even before the ball is bowled, Tyffey follows him and in the end pushes it back to the bowler
pitched up on the middle, Prince moves across and flicks it away to the fine leg region, runs hard and gets back for the second
