DRINKS BREAK! To their credit, New Zealand have done well so far in terms of the discipline with the ball. They have made South Africa work hard for every run. The Proteas have been guilty of playing too many dots, and that will be a learning curve for this inexperienced side. With 37 more runs required, it should not be much of an issue for the tourists, but the approach they take to get there will be intriguing to see. Dian Forrester walks out to bat.
