USA pull one back, but trail New Zealand 8-2 in America's Cup

Oracle Team USA stage a comeback at the America's Cup after beating Team New Zealand in race 12, although the Kiwis need only one more race victory to take the title.

The Kiwis lead 8-2 in the 17-race finals series and need to win only one more race to take the trophy.

Only one race was completed on Thursday, with race 13 postponed until Friday after winds exceeded the 20 knots limit in San Francisco Bay.

However Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill said he would be happy to increase the wind limits if New Zealand would agree to it.
