Target 363
Commentator's curse, Vic?
Michael Bracewell's seventh over goes for 11, including a monstrous six over mid-wicket from the bat of Rassie van der Dussen.
South Africa aren't short on batting firepower but his wicket would be a huge breakthrough for New Zealand.

Vic Marks
Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
The spinners have done quite a good job here.
Michael Bracewell has been one of the finds of the tournament. He hasn't got any wickets yet here but he's doing well. He's also bowled six overs in a row which doesn't often happen.

Cricviz analyst
New Zealand have taken 26 catches at 93% catch efficiency in this tournament.
Target 363
A wide and a couple of singles to finish a good over from Mitchell Santner.
Simon Mann
BBC Test Match Special commentator on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Easy catch. It was nicely bowled by Mitch Santner really, teasing Temba Bavuma to play the big shot.
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Temba Bavuma was looking to loft it over extra cover but that's good bowling form Mitch Santner. That one might've gripped a fraction but Bavuma wasn't in the right place to play that shot.
New Zealand have finally got the breakthrough and it's well deserved.
Bavuma c Williamson b Santner 56 (SA 125-2)
Mitchell Santner breaks the partnership! That's a big wicket for New Zealand.
A flighted delivery from the spinner is misread by Temba Bavuma and he finds Kane Wiliamson at backward point.

Target 363
South Africa are running well between the wickets. Three singles and a couple of twos from the 22nd.
SA 124-1
A very understated reaction from Rassie van der Dussen as he brings up his half-century off 51 balls. A brief wave of the bat. He knows his job is far from done.
Vic Marks
Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
The game is still in the balance. South Africa have still got some big hitters to come, they just need this partnership to get them in range.
Target 363
Another 11 runs knocked off the target.
Neither side has grabbed control of this match. New Zealand bowl a tight over and South Africa respond with a flurry of runs from the next six balls.
Jonathan Agnew
BBC Chief Cricket Commentator
That's the first time Rassie van der Dussen has opened his shoulders. That was a good shot.
Rassie van der Dussen pumps Mitchell Santner over long-on for six. It's been a while since we saw one of those.
Was Temba Bavuma dropped by Kane Williamson off the previous ball? Given the standard of New Zealand's fielding and the bar set by Glenn Phillips, you'd say he probably was, but it was firmly struck to mid-wicket and he was diving full length. It would've been a spectacular catch.
'A ferocious shot!' - Bavuma is almost caught on 50
Jonathan Agnew
BBC Chief Cricket Commentator
It feels as if the majority of neutrals are here backing South Africa.
It's firmly advantage New Zealand at the 20-over mark, according to Winviz.
Image source, CricViz256 runs needed from 30 overs
Just a single from Michael Bracewell's fifth over. A good response from the spinner.
SA 107-1
A calm single brings up Temba Bavuma's half-century off 64 deliveries.
It's been an excellent innings from the South Africa captain, who started agonisingly slowly but has played himself in.

Vic Marks
Former England spinner on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
There's been a wide range of pace in these deliveries from Mitch Santner.
Target 363
The penultimate ball of the 19th over turns sharply, beats Temba Bavuma's bat and whistles over his off stump.
Mitchell Santner has an anguished expression and his hands on his head. He can't believe he hasn't got a wicket.
Jonathan Agnew
BBC Chief Cricket Commentator
Temba Bavuma has got really good hands. It's been a good innings from him.
