Will keep an eye out for her. ;)

Philander gets Nicol, played on off the back of the front pad, somehow.

NZ 1/1

Ed: and he gets McCullum lbw, didn't even bother with the DRS.

NZ 2/7

Ed Ed: now Steyn gets Guptil, shocking shot.

NZ 3/7

Surely NZ can find someone better than Nicol to open, has been hopeless so far in this series.

Does anyone know what has happened to Brownlie? He was NZ's best batsman against Australia.

NZ really are a horribly substandard team (90% of the time).

They do enough in the occasional Test match to give their supporters hope but before long they are back to spudding it up.

Basically, they are a slightly better Bangladesh!

Nightmare start to the 2nd innings for NZ, they could be facing an innings defeat the way they are going.

Same old story for the kiwis, vast majority of their batsmen are simply not close to test standard.

The win in hobart was off the back of an amazing spell of bowling and that's about the only way they can win.

Losing Taylor just before stumps was a big blow, hard to see the remaining NZ batsmen setting SA a challenging run chase from here.

What did you think of the ball-tracking prediction on Taylor's review? Live, and on replay without the pitch map, it looked as if it hit him on leg and was going down. Pitch map and tracking comes up, and suddenely he's been hit in front of middle and off and the ball is crashing into middle and leg. That's how I saw it anyway.

Eagleeye almost pulled out after the players criticised the prediction technology which in my view is suspect.

Good innings from Williamson, shame he couldn't go on to get his ton.

With only the tail left now NZ will be struggling to get a lead of 100 which won't be nearly enough.

Martin out for another well made duck and Philander finishes with 10 wickets for the match.

Saffas chasing 101 for victory, should do it easily.
