  1. SA 93-5published at 14.3 overs

    Another lucky four - off the bat this time as Chloe Tryon attempts a wild cut that flies off the top-edge and over the wicketkeeper for four.

  2. SA 87-5published at 14 overs

    A touch of fortune, but South Africa will take it. Chloe Tryon completely misses a sweep-shot but the ball escapes past wicketkeeper Bernadine Bezuidenhout and in runs away for four byes.

    We then see another beautiful shot of the deep red sky as the sun disappears behind the mountains in the distance. This really is one of the most beautiful grounds in world cricket.

  3. SA 80-5published at 13 overs

    Nadine de Klerk comes out into the middle to join Chloe Tryon.

    Tyron has looked in good touch but so have other South Africa batters this innings. It feels like a horrible mistake is never too far away.

    A really strange shot. A really awful shot, to be honest with you. She struggled in that innings and a really ugly dismissal.

    Horrible, horrible shot. What was that?

    Tucker b Carson 5 (SA 78-5)

    Oh dear. Delmi Tucker has got in an awful mix-up attempting a premediated ramp shot but it turns into a horrible tangle of bat, arms and legs, with the ball smacking into the stumps.

    We talk about power with Tryon and that has whistled away. Maddy Green on the boundary only had about six yards to go to her right but couldn't get there.

  8. SA 77-4published at 12.1 overs

    Another powerful shot from Chloe Tryon as she clubs the ball straight as an arrow back over Maddy Green's head for a one-bounce four.

    Lovely shot from Chloe Tryon, showing her power and explosiveness. A couple of steps down and a flick of the wrists.

  10. SA 72-4published at 12 overs

    That's a good shot. South Africa's scoring rate had slowed a little but Fran Jonas has overpitched and Chloe Tryon powers a half-volley through mid-on for four.

    This is a huge game for South Africa. I was downstairs briefly and talking to Dane van Niekerk. You could feel the tension from her on the sidelines and from out in the middle as New Zealand were taking wickets.

    You can hear the murmurs from the crowd, they're really riding every ball.

    Look at this for a celebration as Lea Tahuhu clean bowled Laura Wolvaardt.

  13. NZ 66-4published at 11 overs

    Eden Carson, who took a wicket in the first over of the match, comes back into the attack.

    Wicketkeeper Bernadine Bezuidenhout gets rather over-excited with an lbw appeal that looked to be going way down leg and came off an inside edge anyway.

    Just the four singles off it.

    I think this pitch is getting awkward. Normally I would say you've got to be brave and try to get up to 150 but here I think 130 might be defendable.

    We are seeing this pitch start to turn quite sharply and that changes what a good score is.

    If South Africa can get anywhere in the region of 130 or 140, that's a competitive total. We are starting to see some balls stay low as well.

  16. SA 62-4published at 10 overs

    We have reached the halfway stage and New Zealand will be well happy with their work, with South Africa's dangerous top four all back in the hutch.

    Sune Luus was playing brilliantly but a single was never on here.

  18. Not outpublished at 9.4 overs

    Chloe Tryon survives - Hawkeye says it was going on to miss the stumps.

    That googly turned quite sharply from Amelia Kerr. I think that's her best delivery.

    I think it will stay with the umpire's call on height and probably line, down the leg side. It's close though.

  20. New Zealand reviewpublished at 9.4 overs

    Amelia Kerr gets a delivery to turn sharply into Chloe Tryon and traps her in front.

    Kerr's vociferous lbw appeals are turned down, but New Zealand opt for a review.
