    Well, that was a strangle.

    An almost impossible task has just got harder.

    Maharaj c Latham b Phillips 1 (SA 218-8)

    Another great catch, and Glenn Phillips has his second!

    It's another gift, a poor ball drifting down the leg side which Keshav Maharaj tries to sweep. He gets a bit of glove on it, which Tom Latham brilliantly snaffles behind the stumps.

  3. SA 217-7published at 39 overs

    Target 363

    Rachin Ravindra scored 108 in New Zealand's innings and currently has figures of 1-20 from five overs.

    A decent day out.

    That feels like the death knell, unless David Miller can do something absolutely remarkable.

    Jansen lbw b Phillips 3 (SA 212-7)

    Hitting leg stump, and Glenn Phillips knew it.

    Marco Jansen trudges off for just three as South Africa's innings continues to unravel.

    The spinners continue to work their magic for New Zealand.

    It was the sort of appeal you give when you're 100% sure it's out.

  7. NZ reviewpublished at 38 overs

    A spare ball is eventually chosen, and Marco Jansen misses a reverse sweep from the final delivery.

    Phillips is convinced, the umpire less so.

    Let's have a look.

    While we wait, let's admire this beauty from Mitchell Santner.

    Target 363

    More part-time spin as Glenn Phillips comes into the attack for the first time.

    His fourth ball is heaved for six by David Miller, and there's a slight delay as Daryl Mitchell and the umpires struggle to retrieve the ball from the crowd.

    Target 363

    Marco Jansen joins David Miller in the middle.

    He's very capable with the bat but this will require something miraculous.

    Easily taken by Rachin Ravindra. Wiaan Mulder didn't know whether to stick or twist.

    New Zealand are really chipping away now.

    Mulder c Ravindra b Bracewell 8 (SA 200-6)

    New Zealand take another step closer to the final.

    Wiaan Mulder tries to add some energy into South Africa's stuttering chase, but is only able to pick out Rachin Ravindra on the square leg boundary.

    This is such a tough task now for South Africa and it feels like New Zealand have broken the game open.

  14. SA 193-5published at 35 overs

    Target 363

    New Zealand are closing in, and all of a sudden Rachin Ravindra looks unplayable.

    He rips one past Wiaan Mulder's outside edge to conclude another quiet over that concedes just two.

    You'd need something sensational from South Africa to even get close to New Zealand's total.

    Target 363

    Over to you, David Miller.

    The required run rate is creeping towards 11 an over, and he's the last batter who is capable of achieving that in this South Africa line-up.

    South Africa needed someone to bat through but none of the batters could do it. You're into the all-rounders now.

    That is a huge breakthrough for New Zealand.

    Caught and bowled! Aiden Markam stands there and he can't believe it.

    New Zealand have a firm grip on this game now.

    Markram c & b Ravindra 31 (SA 189-5)

    Chipped it straight back! The softest of dismissals and Aiden Markram can't believe it.

    It's an innocuous delivery from Rachin Ravindra, it's quite short and should probably be put away. But Markram is caught in two minds and just plinks it straight into the bowler's hands.

    A gift for New Zealand.

    Target 363

    Spin is doing the trick for New Zealand at the moment.

    Just four from Michael Bracewell's latest. Meanwhile, Matt Henry is back on the field having gone off for some treatment after injuring his shoulder taking that catch off Klaasen.
