Ngidi to Williamson, FOUR, no chance for Miller this time. Length delivery outside off, Williamson gets forward and drives on the rise, slightly open face and it races between backward point and point

"Hmmmm honours even after that Powerplay? In New Zealand's favour perhaps, but South Africa did well to reel them in after a tidy start"

Hannes: "I don't understand why SA gives the new ball to Ngidi when you have one of the best bowlers in your team like Rabada? Doesn't make sense to me especially in a Semi Final."Wasn't 't the tidiest over from Ngidi, all told. Touch too wide, and didn't seem to gauge what length to bowl. Still, plenty of time to correct...

Point, square leg, third and fine leg are the four fielders outside the circle for Williamson now that we're out of the Powerplay. Another delay for an issue behind the bowler's arm...
