8.26 pm South Africa clawed back well after New Zealand made some early strikes. It could have been even worse for the hosts and they not shelled four chances and missed some runout opportunities too. Still, this is a very chaseable total. New Zealand may be slight favorites though with not as much scoreboard pressure as they faced batting second against Australia. Stay with us for the start of the reply shortly.

Jensen is not going to be able to finish the over. Some discomfort in her right leg/calf and the physio is out. Well, now she is going to try to tough it out.
