It just shows that proper preparation for a competition is essential, NZ played a one-day series to get used to the conditions rather than just rocking up thinking it would work.
John, Whitstable
Very good over from Kagiso Rabada, responding well to going for 17 in his previous one.
Just a single from it and the big wicket of Rachin Ravindra to end a 164-run stand for the third wicket.
Daryl Mitchell is the new batter for New Zealand.
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Rachin Ravindra with a superb innings for New Zealand. He timed the ball perfectly for the vast majority of this innings.
It's disappointing to get out at any time but he has that 100.
It's a great position for New Zealand to be in and a relief for Temba Bavuma to get another batter in.
Ravindra c Klaasen b Rabada 108 (NZ 212-2)
Kagiso Rabada makes the breakthrough.
The South Africa bowler went the distance in his previous over but after starting this one with two dots, tempts Rachin Ravindra with a slower, wide delivery.
The left-hander attempts a booming drive but can only edge it through to Heinrich Klaasen.
A wonderful innings comes to an end.
Ravindra's thick outside edge to Klaasen dismisses him for 108

They're good sailors, the Kiwis, and Kane Williamson knew which way the wind was blowing.
He's got it air-borne, the wind helps him and it's gone for six.
Six!
Keshav Maharaj returns to bowl the first over after drinks. Five dot balls start the over before Kane Williamson gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps the last high over cow corner for a maximum.
Hitting with the wind again and the ball flies into the stands. Williamson is suddenly going at better than a run a ball.

It's an impressive side, this Kiwi side. They have a squad of 15 players who are rock solid.
It's a characteristic of New Zealand, they make the most of what they've got.

Rachin Ravindra - what a gem of a player. He loves an ODI. And the calm "steady the ship" Kane Williamson as his batting partner - perfect.

NZ 201-1
Drinks are being taken and South Africa will be glad of the break.
They are really under the pump at the moment and are in desperate need of a breakthrough.
Jonathan Agnew

Lovely shot. We've seen some unorthodox shots from Kane Williamson but that was a perfect cover drive.
Williamson 72, Ravindra 105
New Zealand are on the charge!
Back-to-back boundaries from Kane Williamson to end an expensive Kagiso Rabada over - 17 from it.
The first is ramped over short fine leg as Williamson moves across his stumps and he adds a thumping drive through extra cover. Two contrasting but equally well executed shots.
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Rachin Ravindra is easy on the eye and New Zealand still have power to add.
NZ 186-1
Wonderful innings from Rachin Ravindra!
There were no signs of nerves as he approached three figures so it is no surprise that Ravindra gets there so calmly, flicking the ball effortlessly through mid-wicket for two.
The left-hander gets there from 93 balls. That's his fifth ODI century and he wants to keep going, clipping the next delivery to the long leg boundary for four.
Rachin Ravindra's 'beautiful shots' bring up his century
Good over from Lungi Ngidi with only three runs from it.
His last ball slides down the leg side but must have flicked the pad of Kane Williamson because the umpire doesn't signal a wide.
Rachin Ravindra will be on strike for the start of the next over, which will be bowled by Kagiso Rabada, two runs shy of his hundred.
NZ 183-1
It doesn't take the third umpire long to confirm the on-field decision.
Daylight between bat and ball, UltraEdge confirms as much and Rachin Ravindra, on 97, survives.
A very good off-cutter from Lungi Ngidi but no wicket to show for it.
NZ 183-1
Perhaps Rachin Ravindra won't get to his century...
South Africa think he has nicked a clever slower ball from Lungi Ngidi behind.
Well, I say think, they don't seem too sure. Might be a review more in hope than expectation.
Soham Sarkhel
CricViz analyst
Rachin Ravindra is currently 25 years old and has already amassed 790 runs in ICC Men's ODI tournaments, which includes four hundreds, with possibly a fifth on the way today.
Most runs scored in ICC Men's ODI tournaments aged 25 or younger:

Kane Williamson reminds me a bit of Glenn Turner because Turner used to chip the ball.
Williamson is looking for the gaps, he's looking to accelerate.
Williamson 62, Ravindra 95
Kane Williamson, having had a lucky escape in the last over, chances his arm again by unfurling a thumping cover drive.
The ball is in the air but just wide of the diving cover fielder and races to the boundary.
Just a further two from Aiden Markram's latest but New Zealand are in a very strong position. If you along with the double the score at 30 overs theory then the Proteas will be chasing a mammoth 362...

Heinrich Klaasen should've held onto it.
