Boult to Dwaine Pretorius, out C Morris Run Out!! New Zealand keep coming back into this one. Here they have produced a gem in the field. Not quite like Williamson against Stoinis in the previous series. But good enough to create a moment. Dwaine Pretorius pokes to extra cover and takes a few steps.

24.5
Boult to de Villiers, 3 runs, stands tall on his toes and half swishes it through mid-wicket
24.4
Boult to de Kock, out Caught by Neesham!! One shot too many. Just wasn't what the Proteas needed at this stage. He walks right into the line and swings his bat. It looked like he got some decent connection on this one but only as far as deep mid-wicket, who intercepts and pouches it with ease. Nope, off the inside half and the handle rolling in his palms - confirm the slo mos. de Kock c Neesham b Boult 57(65) [4s-6]
