Inspite of losing #BrendonMcCullum and #KaneWilliamson in quick succession, the #Kiwis are ahead in this semifinal match vs South Africa.
McCullum's stunning 59 from 26 balls set the tone for the runchase.
But #MorneMorkel struck twice to dismiss both the skipper and his deputy to pull things back.
Double centurion from previous game #MartinGuptill and #RossTaylor are at the crease and steadying things for New Zealand.
A fascinating mid and end game in the offing.
Don't go anywhere!

The start to a stiff run chase couldn't have been better!
#BrendonMcCullum has come out with a purpose and boy! has he started well?
He's just completed his 50 in 22 balls.
Just the kind of start needed to get that chase going...
He has torn into the world's premier fast bowler #DaleSteyn.
The 5th over bowled by him has gone for
6-0-6-4-4-0
#ABDevilliers needs to look at options.
How about #ImranTahir? or #JPDuminy?
Need to change the pace and speed of this game.
Currently, the Kiwis are using all the bowlers' pace. Need to slow it down...

#DavidMiller has come, has seen and has conquered the Eden Park with an awesome innings that has propelled SA to a very challenging score against New Zealand in the first semifinal at #CWC15.
#FafduPlessis was out the first ball he faced after resumption and that pegged SA back.
But Miller walked in and walked out with a dominant innings of strokeplay and immense timing. So much so, that his skipper deVilliers let go a few running opportunities to keep Miller on strike!
A stunning 49 in 18 deliveries has just shifted the game in SA's favor a bit.
Kiwis need 298 (adjusted according to D/L method) to win this match and the Proteas' bowlers will go all out against them. Looks pretty interesting this and runs on the board for SA will make them slight favorites!

After almost an hour of incessant rain pouring at the #EdenPark, the match resumes.
There has been a #DL calculation to account for lost time.
It will be a 43 overs a side match.
This seems advantage New Zealand on two counts:
- the rhythm of SA batsmen will have broken and gives NZ a chance to regroup better
- they will know exactly how many to score? SA's plan to attack at the end will have to be realigned.
South Africa will bat for another 5 overs and then we're back with the Kiwi run chase. Hopefully, there will be no further interruptions and we should have a cracking game on the cards!

#ABDevilliers has exploded at the #EdenPark vs NZ in their semifinal at #CWC15.
You cannot give him half a chance in the field, Kiwis have already given him two!
#KaneWilliamson on both occasions. First he missed a direct hit to run AB out. In the very next over, he missed a regulation catch (by NZ standards) at short cover to give him another life. Since then ABD has let loose and smashing the Kiwis all over the park.
Just when they were about to run away with the game, rain has interrupted play.
Whats with SA and rain in semifinals? surely this is not going to hurt them right?
But, the longer the delay .. the advantage will lie with New Zealand since they will know exactly how much to get and plan it accordingly.
The match will be truncated now and SA will need to ensure they keep the momentum going!
AB and Faf at the crease...

After Rossouw and Faf duPlessis steadied their ship, #ABDevilliers has come in and shifted gears already. He is pushing the accelerator to post a big score to put any pressure on the strong NZ batting line up in the second innings. In the meanwhile, Faf duPlessis has completed a well composed 50 and looking good to go three figures.
New Zealand skipper #BrendonMcCullum is still trying to attack and get wickets. He's keeping fielders in attacking positions to snap the prized wicket of AB or Faf to get into their lower middle order.
Match on a knife's edge at the moment.
Who will seize the initiative? Will Boult and company stop the SA charge? or AB-Faf partnership will take it away from the Kiwis?
Fascinating play coming up, especially the batting powerplay round the corner will make it really interesting!

#FafduPlessis and #RileeRossouw have steadied the SA ship.
After huge pressure upfront and quick wickets of Amla and deKock, SA had pulled things back with this partnership.
Slowly and steadily, they have seized initiative from the #Kiwis and progressing well.
Platform is well set for the explosive middle and late order to take over (deVilliers, Miller and Duminy).
Match on an even keel.
Who will blink first?

#TrentBoult bowling with 5 slips!! This has a test match feel
"Lightning" Boult has struck twice for New Zealand against South Africa.
His speed, line, bounce, swing has troubled all SA batsmen thus far.
After a couple of dropped catches, he has picked two wickets deservedly.
First he castled #HashimAmla through an inside edge on a delivery that swung sharply.
He had #QuintonDeKock hopping and edging around. Sensing immense pressure, deKock charged at Boult and spooned a simple catch to third man.
#FafDuPlessis and #RileeRossouw at the crease.
You can feel the intensity out there. Lot of needle. Not an inch given, not an inch taken ... fabulous start!
