Run out. And the match becomes even more interesting. And only 2 runs off the over I might add.

2-0-3-0 for Vettori now.

Despite Prince trying to hit one ball, he couldnt.

Ideally either you attack a bowler to break his rhythm or play it safe vs him. With Vettori having 8 overs remaining, South Africa cant afford to just play out Vettori.

But losing one more wicket at this juncture trying to go for it vs Vettori would be disastrous. So it puts them in a dillemna.

6.2 runs per over required now.

They will have to do some thing versus Vettori!

And RSA do decide to go for a attacking Vettori, 4 off the first ball for Gibbs in that over, 8 coming in total.

A small victory for South Africa in that over.

A lot of runs in that over against Vettori. The strategy to attack Vettori and take the match by the scruff seems to be working.

94 required off 94 balls. Its looking comfortable for South Africa after the stretegy of attacking Vettori.

What does Prince do? Plays a rash shot leading Mills to take a top catch.

The match was sliding off the hands of the Kiwis. A stroke of luck for them with the poor cricketing sense displayed by Prince.

The dismissal of Boucher reiterates the chokers image of RSA.

Good fielding though and the match is wide open.

Geez, that six off Bond made it half-way to New Zealand. NZ really could've won all three matches so far in the series, but some amazing individual efforts from some of the South African players to take it away from them. 12 in a row now?
