America's Cup: New Zealand nearly capsize as USA gain momentum on day five

Team New Zealand almost capsize after their rigid wing sail gets stuck on the wrong side during a tack, leaving Team USA to claim only their second victory of the 2013 America's Cup in race eight.

Day five's second race was abandoned with New Zealand leading early on leg three due to high winds, with race nine now re-arranged for Sunday.

New Zealand need just three more wins to clinch the Cup, while USA need to win nine after incurring a two-point penalty for illegal modifications made during the America's Cup warm-up series.
