Morne Morkel set up the game nicely for South Africa with a four-for that restricted New Zealand to 153 before the big-hitting Kemp heaved them home in style.

Man of the Match Justin Kemp

England are now out of the tournament but they could do these two teams a favour by beating India. However, if India win this and their next game against South Africa , it will be a three-way race for the semi-final spots. More fun on offer.

On behalf of my co-commentator Kanishkaa Balachandran, this is Sriram Veera signing off.

Gillespie to Kemp, SIX, Done in style. Typical Kemp shot. Full and on the stumps, he clears the front foot and swings through the line. The white ball disappears over long-on. Game over.

Just 2 more. It should be a breeze. Vettori has a chat with Mark Gillespie.

Bond to Kemp, 1 wide, Slower one, short in length and well outside the off stump, Kemp goes for a cut shot and there is a noise. Did it hit the edge? Wide called.

Kemp pulls out prior to the release of the delivery. He is not happy with the movement behind the bowler's arm.
