Thanks for joining our coverage for this game. We'll see you at the next one. Bye-bye.

Ross Taylor is Man of the Match.

7pm Phew! What a match! New Zealand did really well to strange South Africa in the middle and then did really poorly to let them back in. But they edged it out in all the important phases - two solid partnerships in the middle overs when batting, and top-class death bowling to eek out a win. Quinton de Kock and JP Duminy in particular will feel prickly when they try to go to bed tonight - they got in and threw it away. AB de Villiers wasn't new to this situation, and played it sensibly, but fell at a crucial time, as did Miller. That's the end of their winning streak that lasted 12 games.

New Zealand got efforts from all their seniors - Williamson, Taylor, Southee and Boult. Santner was brilliant as well - 2 for 46. They didn't deserve to lose.

Shaheer: "Well, Boult made up for that catch drop with a stunning match winning over"

Southee to Phehlukwayo, FOUR, overpithched at leg stump, backs away and whacks it straight back over the umpire....and that's the match. 10 consecutive balls in the blockhole to win by six runs - they showed up when it mattered, those seniors.

Southee to Phehlukwayo, FOUR, attempted yorker outside off, after four balls, he goes for the reverse ramp and converts it into a full toss that he gets past the keeper

Southee to Phehlukwayo, no run, ...it doesn't! This is phenomenal death overs bowling. As professional as it can get. Another yorker outside off, dug out to cover

This has to go the distance

Southee to Phehlukwayo, no run, another yorker, wide outside off, thick edge down to third man and no run

Southee to Phehlukwayo, no run, yorker outside off, carved straight to extra cover

0
Southee to Phehlukwayo, no run, yorker at the off stump, drives it to extra cover, bit of confusion as they don't know whether to go for the run - they decide not to

Right. Southee, around the wicket. 15 off 6 balls
