It's stumps on day 2 and I'm actually surprised to see what has transpired in this match. New Zealand are 5 down for 157, they have played 45 overs. Grandhomme scored a 50 though. I would like to see them play really defensive right now and just stay at the pitch. If they don't get out they will score eventually. But things don't look so good as they are still trailing by 207 runs.

Colin de Grandhomme and Mitchell have rescued NZ as 5 wickets were gone for 91 runs. They both have a partnership of 66 runs. NZ can reach 364 or near to that if both of these players stayed on for two sessions of third day. Right now chances of winning the game are towards South Africa.

I think the chance of South Africa winning the game is reducing as time goes on because they have lost 5 wickets only for 140 runs. The fourth day is going to show us which direction the match is going to go.

South African comeback in this match is really shocking for me specially after losing very bad in first match and New Zealand batting collapse is also really surprised because they lost 5 wickets just for 91 and now an all-rounder and wicket keeper is on crease for some resistance which is good for home team but still as we all watching leading is massive so from here most chances South African will take some good lead, and they need some good batting in second inning for win and level of this series which is going to be great booster for them as right now they are having few young's and facing too much internal and off field issues regarding past and current management.
Now tomorrow first hour is going to be very crucial for both teams because if they take wickets then surely they will be on top otherwise New Zealand can fight back from here as well.

South Africa is already ahead with 211 runs at the end of the third day and I think ok this should push for the 350 mark. The start of the 4th day is going to be a pre- decider of the match in my opinion. If New Zealand can take wickets in the first session they have a good chance but if South Africa can score and take the target to 300 think

The interesting thing, Colin de Grandhomme have scored the 54 runs in 61 balls with 7 fours and 2 sixes. I think he's playing to make a better score before losing his wicket.

I think that New Zealand made a good comeback from the situation that they were in in the second test. From 91 for 5, they scored 293 for 10. If they can bowl out South Africa for cheap on the fourth day I think they have a chance of winning.

South Africa VS New zealand
~

South Africa had ideal start of the match but they failed to take advantage in second innings. At the end of day 3 South Afrcia had lead of 211 runs and 5 wickets left. Kyle Verreynne and Mulder are on the crease for a while now and they must try to give target of 350 to NZ. Anything under 300 will made NZ favorite for this game.

I am sure the South African side are looking for a score above the 300 mark not 350. They have already lost 5 wickets which now makes it very difficult to reach 350, they already have a lead of 211 runs and as tail enders bat 300 will be target they would like to get on the score board. Newzealand team has made a good come back and thier aim would be to get the South African team out in the first session tomorrow.

I actually think that 300 is not going to be enough to be in a safe spot for South Africa. They should at least give a target of 350. But then NewZealand might play for the draw. So a give and take situation here.

If South Africa tries to get a target of 350 I think they might lose wickets in that pressure of getting runs. I think they should try to get a target of more than 300 in the second session and put NewZealand to bat in the third session. Unless they get all out obviously.

South Africa had a good chance to win this match by dominating. But they missed the opportunity. Colin de Grandhomme and Mitchell helped New Zealand score 293 runs. Which is a good enough collection. I thought New Zealand might lose all their wickets before 250.
After the third day, South Africa collected 140 runs, they lost 5 wickets. My guess is that they will lose all their wickets in the first session of the next day and collect around 200-220. South Africa cannot win if they give less than 300 targets. I am still optimistic about New Zealand's victory.

South Africa managed to take a lead of 71 runs in the first innings, but they are wobbling in the second. Right now they are at 40/3, for a total lead of 111 runs. Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen are at the crease, and Tim Southee has picked up two wickets. Now a lot will depend on how the first-change bowlers (Kyle Jamieson and Neil Wagner) are able to support Southee and Henry. South Africa needs another 120-130 runs to win this match, and they should get to that total without too many hiccups.

SA are now 104/4 and lead is now 175. 18 overs still left in 3rd day play. Temba Bavuma is still in the crease but Dussen is out. SA need give target of atleast 300 to win this test and stop NZ from winning first ever test series against them. NZ have depth in batting that's why despite losing 5 early wickets they manage to score 293 runs.

Colin de Grandhomme is playing like he is playing a ODI with a higher strike rate and Daryl Mitchell is playing a good supporting role and now they have reduced the deficiency to less than 151 runs, i did not expect this performance in the 6th wicket but now they are counter attacking and South Africa has to come up with something to break this partnership, if not New Zealand will run away with this match.

South Africa leads by 105 runs but has lost two wickets already. I think they will add another 200 plus runs to the existing lead which will not be easy for the Newzealand side to chase. Grandhomme score 120 runs and because of him Newzealand were able to score 293 runs.

3 wickets for just 79 runs. Something went really wrong this time for the Newzealand side. Latham out for a duck and Young for just three runs. Nicholls and Mithchell have the ability to take them out of this situation. If these two also get out then Newzealand will be in deep trouble.

I was not expecting this performance from New Zealand bating line-up but very strong comeback by South African bowlers specially Rabada is pick of bowler but still very long way to go for them if they want to win this match and level this series currently Grandhomme is on counter-attack and he completely his fifty very quickly with the help of 7 fours and 2 sixes in just 39 balls.

Right now, both complete fifty of partnership also which is good for home team as they lost early five wickets very quickly but still trailing by 216 runs but if they want alive in this match and want to win this series these both need to stay at crease for some long time. Now, after winning first test by bowlers and poor batting from South African in second test, New Zealand struggling in batting and feeling shortage of their experienced campaigner Ross Taylor and captain Williamson.

It's stumps on day 2 and I'm actually surprised to see what has transpired in this match. New Zealand are 5 down for 157, they have played 45 overs. Grandhomme scored a 50 though.

Watch as circumstance changed a couple of times in a thrilling day of Test cricket. At the end of day 2, South Africa leads New Zealand by 207 runs, continuing their series fightback. Even though Colin de Grandhomme had a good knock, it'll be hard to survive on day 3. It is 207 runs behind New Zealand. As a result of their bowling today, the Proteas are in a good position to win this test match. Therefore, they must seize this opportunity.

Looking at New Zealand's batting, it doesn't look like they will be able to win this match. They lost 5 wickets very fast. So now their goal should be to draw the match. Only two days have passed. If they can survive the next two sessions at the crease and collect 270-300 runs, then maybe New Zealand will be able to draw the match. But if they lose all their wickets before 250 then they will be in a lot of trouble.

Surely after worst ever defeat they are doing good job in second test and very strong reply in this first day which is going to help them for some more positive and better performance in coming day because 238/3 is really great effort, and now they can add some good runs in second day which are going to help them in bowling even with first day of play I have feeling this match is going to be drawn and first ever test series win for New Zealand but still very good start is much needed for visitors because now they are here without their many star players, and they are looking for new combination at very difficult time as many bad things happening around them in and off the field, and they need to fight them for better and bright future of cricket.

Check the latest scorecard and you will see South Africa at the moment are really in strong position. Colin de Grandhomme and Daryl Mitchell are batting now while half of there batting lineup is gone. Collin is playing aggressively 29 runs of 23 balls, NZ relying on Mitchell to take them out of this situation.

After a humiliating defeat in the first Test, an innings and 276 runs, South Africa's return today was truly remarkable. With just 3 wickets in hand, they are able to score 238 runs. If they are able to collect 150-200 runs tomorrow, it will be difficult for New Zealand to win this match, despite their strong batting lineup. However, I do not think that New Zealand will lose this match, maybe New Zealand will win or the match will be a draw.

That's a strong comeback from team South Africa in the second test. Although, the game isn't in favour of South Africa yet. This was the first day only. Who knows how they will play tomorrow! The Proteas should collect 300 more runs to make the game difficult for New Zealand. The betting odds is in favour of South Africa now, but the difference isn't huge. Everything will be more clear tomorrow.

Surely after worst ever defeat they are doing good job in second test and very strong reply in this first day which is going to help them for some more positive and better performance in coming day because 238/3 is really great effort, and now they can add some good runs in second day which are going to help them in bowling even with first day of play I have feeling this match is going to be drawn and first ever test series win for New Zealand but still very good start is much needed for visitors because now they are here without their many star players, and they are looking for new combination at very difficult time as many bad things happening around them in and off the field, and they need to fight them for better and bright future of cricket.

Marco Jansen and Rabada are on fire as Nicholls and Tom Blundell both gone. New Zealand are 5 down on just 99 runs. Marco Jansen has taken 2 wickets while rest of the three belongs to Rabada. South Africa will try to get lead of 200 to 250 and if they can get this lead they are surely favorite for this game.

After such a stellar performance in the first test, New Zealand seems to be struggling in the second. Batting first, South Africa made a massive total of 364, thanks to the century from Sarel Erwee. None of the other batsmen were able to make a half century. And New Zealand immediately lost both their opening batsmen (Tom Latham and Will Young) when they came to bat. Now the responsibility is up to Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls to stabilize the innings and take New Zealand to a comfortable position.

Devon Conway also gone and responsibility is now on Henry Nicholls and Daryl Mitchell. New Zealand still need 300 more runs to level South Africa first innings runs. Good bowling by Rabada as he quickly bowled out both openers. From betting prespective I can say South Africa are now favorite for winning this game.

3 wickets for just 79 runs. Something went really wrong this time for the Newzealand side. Latham out for a duck and Young for just three runs. Nicholls and Mithchell have the ability to take them out of this situation. If these two also get out then Newzealand will be in deep trouble.
