    This is the over South Africa were waiting for. Jimmy Neesham tried to drag his length back and bluff the batter, but Tristan Stubbs is too clever for that.

  2. 6 runs

    SA 139-5

    Tristan Stubbs is rumbling into gear.

    He dispatches a poorly executed yorker down the ground for four before nailing a sweep over square leg for six.

    Mark Chapman, on the boundary rope, chased across for a couple of paces before realising his efforts would be in vain.

    South Africa are slightly behind here but they have two set batters who are used to the pitch now.

    New Zealand bringing Jimmy Neesham back into the attack is the over South Africa need to capitalise on.

  4. SA 128-5

    It could well be the turning point for South Africa, Dawid.

    Marco Jansen's six is followed a couple of balls later by a hard pull wide of mid-wicket from Tristan Stubbs for four.

    15 runs off the over. 160 is achievable.

    Marco Jansen knew exactly where that was going, straight away. He had a great swing of the bat.

    Brilliant shot - is that the momentum South Africa need?

  6. 6 runs

    SA 121-5

    Well, that will certainly help South Africa's final hopes.

    Marco Jansen doesn't even look up as he fires Matt Henry over long-on for six.

    He and Tristan Stubbs exchange an energetic first bump.

    New Zealand are the past masters of the knock-out stages but it just needs a quick few runs and South Africa are right back in it. It can swing so quickly.

  8. SA 113-5

    New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner is clearly feeling charitable, tossing South Africa a couple of wides. He also concedes two singles, leaving him with figures of 0-25 from his four overs.

    Four overs to go. When are South Africa going to burst into life? Are they going to burst into life?

    This game is on a knife edge. South Africa need to find momentum here and these two batters can get them to a really good score.

  10. SA 108-5

    Lockie Ferguson returns to the attack and opens with a slow yorker which Marco Jansen jabs his bat in front of.

    His first four deliveries yield four singles but before he can bowl the fifth the siren goes to indicate a no ball.

    No panic from Ferguson, however. Two singles and a dot to finish. Not much timing on display from South Africa's batters.

    This is a tricky period for South Africa but what they do have is Marco Jansen and Tristan Stubbs play together in the SA20.

    They need to take the game deep and try to capitalise; these two will be experienced in that.

  12. SA 101-5

    Tristan Stubbs dabs and runs to bring up South Africa's 100 off the penultimate ball of the over.

    Marco Jansen lines up to pound Rachin Ravindra for another boundary but doesn't connect and has to settle for a single.

    10 off the over. Stubbs and Jansen have put on 24 (22) for the sixth wicket.

    Ravindra finishes with figures of 2-29.

    That was an over-spinner from Rachin Ravindra looking to get bounce but Marco Jansen is rangey. A lovely loft over the bowler.

  14. 6 runs

    SA 98-5

    That's more like it from Marco Jansen! A step down and hammered down the ground for six. Bowler Rachin Ravindra gawps up to the sky as he follows its trajectory.

    Jansen hits Ravindra for six

  15. SA 91-5

    There's a boundary! It's very fortuitous, Marco Jansen squirting an edge through third for four. He has to look around for the ball, which tells you how unintentional it was.

    Seven off the over.

  16. SA 84-5

    Rachin Ravindra's third over yields four singles and two dots.

    South Africa have only scored two boundaries - both sixes - since the end of the fifth over.

    170 will be an amazing effort from here. Everything will need to go South Africa's way to get there.

  18. SA 80-5

    Jimmy Neesham was slapped about for 17 runs in his one powerplay over.

    On his return to the attack, he's picked up the big wicket of Dewald Brevis, who smacked 42 (18) against Zimbabwe, and conceded just three singles.

    What will South Africa be confident of defending? 150? 160? Feels a long way away.

    Soft again. There is no foot movement towards the ball which suggests the pitch is not coming on as South Africa thought.

    They need to negotiate their game to compromise that.

    Genius captaincy, there is no doubt about it! The New Zealand fans cannot believe it.
