NAh, no NZ celebration as de Villiers immediately klaps the new ball for consequtive boundaries.
235 @ Scrumdown:
Yip just watching now. They said there was rain there this morning. Changes it a bit, then we so far ahead not worried really. See the weather will be fine there for the next 3 days though. We should still declare at close tonight. What you think?
239 @ Scrumdown:
😆
SA 328 / 5 now
Pitch still looks lively.. in fact the pitch seems to start showing some cracks making it even more lively.
2Nd Innings batting should be difficult!
Dean Elgar departs a he gets a faint edge and is caught behind
Lunch Day 2
SA 335 / 6 (91 overs)
AB de Villiers departs for 67
SA 342 / 7
New Zealand has taken wickets at regular intervals today
South Africa goes over the 300 run lead with a 4 from Robin Petersen
SA 347 / 7
Well, make that 347 / 8
THAT is also the DECLARATION by SA… a lead of 302
@ grootblousmile:
300 lead should be enough methinks.
And the declaration comes as Peterson goes with the lead on 302.
Those with tickets for tomorrow may well not get to redeem them.
Thought we would wait for close to declare, but with us losing wickets this was the right decision. Let us get in there now and see if we can bowl them out, or at least get some wickets before close.
Batsmen out and play about to restart.
Hopefully it’s all finished before I tee off on Saturday morning. (Sorry those of you with tickets!)
What I told you people yesterday??? I said we need to declare around 350, so be it I said it is not a bad wicket/ we made good runs did we not??

That’s a 280/350 run wicket, just not a 450/600 run wicket
Right gents. Time to head back to my office in JHB.
Catch up with you all later.
1 St wicket falls for New Zealand, with no runs on the board
Guptill goes for a beautiful 0
Kiwi’s 0/1
good day everyone,
I’m afraid if I get in my car now that it’ll be all over when I return…. hehehe
258 @ Sharks_forever:
Hello Ty
SA with 2 maidens to start off with… and one wicket to boot
What opening batsman in the world wants to face Steyn and Big Vern in succession? Jeez none I reckon, these two bowlers with Morkel must be a nightmare to face straight up.
Just pleased these bowlers are in our team……… 🙂
258 @ Sharks_forever:
Afternoon bro
254 @ Sharks_forever:
Spot on. You were right.
Hello all, missed most of the play so far, but looks like the boys were a tad sloppy with their shots this morning. Was expecting a much bigger score. Good to see Steyn and Philander still putting the ball on a ticky though!
New Zealand have raced to 6 / 1…. hehehe
265 @ Just For Kicks:
Do you guys still get tickies in the UK… or is it just Pounds pennies & shilings?
Hahahaha
How are you and the family?
@ grootblousmile:Hiya GBS, right now, tickies, shillings, Zimbabwean Dollars – in fact anything would help!!!!!!
We are all very well, Bean painting and decorating like mad (I am not allowed near a paint pot – apparently it goes back 20 years to when I did something wrong, but I am not complaining!) How is it in sunny SA?
6 overs done… 3 maidens for Big Vern
NZ 6 / 1… batting at a dismal 1 run per over so far
Just going to take a couple of pics of the farm, will send them though to you in a few minutes.
