Cricket World Cup group stages, May 30 - July 6

[Arthur Crabtree]

Dhawan out the WC. Pant called up.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hamish finally goes. 55 off 83. SA on for no more than 250 here. They should do better than that, but if you double the likely 30 over score, that's what you get.

Only 49 overs a side of course.

[Arthur Crabtree]

And CDG gets Markram. Come on Kiwis, finish them off!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Groundsman says the pitch was poorly prepared because of the recent heavy rain. So hard to know what will be a par score. Maybe SA are going ok.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Five ball duck for Phehlukwayo in the death overs? Mysterious.

[Arthur Crabtree]

A six for vd Dussen. I thought my screen had frozen. No one was scoring any runs.

didn't even get that many

is the match as turgid as the scorecard suggests?

[Arthur Crabtree]

242 to get after another vd Dussen maximum. Have to feel the NZ bowlers have done a great job, but time will tell. A drop by Ferguson in the penultimate over might have cost NZ ten runs.

53 off the last five, so a minor charge at the end.

Guardian points out NZ have yet to concede 250 in this WC.

[mikesiva]

South africa 241-6.

Amla 55 from 83
Markram 38 from 55
Rassie van der Dussen 67 not out run a ball
Miller a run a ball 36

[Arthur Crabtree]

Munro fails again. We need a big innings from KW.

[sussexpob]

Munro fails again

[mikesiva]

New Zealand 80-3 from 18 overs. Game on!

Morris gets his second wicket. Latham out for one. New Zealand 80-4 now.

[ianp1970]

Does a win here give SA a realistic chance, or just make it more likely that Ban can overtake NZ?

[Arthur Crabtree]

Still fancy NZ while KW is in.
