Toggle between the tabs above to switch between quick scorecard, full scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary South Africa held a 211-run lead over New Zealand at stumps Sunday on the third day of the second test at Christchurch, a day on which there were four specific episodes and one general theme. The binding theme of the day’s play was that South Africa held a tenuous upper hand. From the start of play when New Zealand was 157-5 and 207 runs behind South Africa’s first innings of 364, the Proteas kept a grip on the match, shaken momentarily by the day’s events. At stumps South Africa was 140-5 in its second innings with Kyle Verreyne 22 not out and Wiaan Mulder 10. In the first episode of the day, 35-year-old allrounder Colin de Grandhomme continued a gallant counter-attacking innings to post his second test century, four years after his first. De Grandhomme shared a 133-run sixth-wicket partnership with Daryl Mitchell which shored up the New Zealand innings after the home team

22:57 (IST) That brings us to the end of our coverage of the T20I series between India and Sri Lanka, with the Men in Blue once again emerging triumphant by a 3-0 margin. Team India have been a different beast altogether in T20Is since the disappointing World Cup campaign last year, winning 12 games in a row now, and their preparations for this year's mega event so far appears to very much be on track. We have the Test series coming up next between these two teams, with the first match at Mohali being a historic occasion — Virat Kohli's 100th Test appearance. That however, is still a few days away. For now, this is Amit signing off on behalf of my team, bidding you all a good night! 22:48 (IST) Rohit Sharma, India captain: It’s a factor of everything that comes together. As a team, we play together, and we played very well. Lot of positives came out of this series. We do understand at times we’ve held ourselves back, but it’s important to tell guys not to worry about th

India clinched yet another series on home soil with a comprehensive seven-wicket victory in the second T20I against Sri Lanka, and will be eyeing a third consecutive 3-0 sweep under Rohit Sharma's leadership when they take on Dasun Shanaka's men in the third and final match of the series. The Men in Blue had entered the second T20I as the strong favourites after a 62-run win in the opening game in Lucknow, and skipper Rohit this time opted to field. Thanks to vital contributions from Pathum Nissanka (75) and skipper Shanaka (47 not out), the Lankans were able to post a competitive 183/5 on the board, with a staggering 80 runs coming in the last five overs. Though they were off to a positive start after getting rid of Rohit cheaply, with Ishan Kishan following him soon after, the game slipped out of their hands once Shreyas Iyer (74 not out) was able to steady the hosts in the middle overs while forging a valuable stand with Sanju Samson (39). Ravindra Jadeja walked in after S

22:49 (IST) That brings us to the end of our coverage of the second T20I between India and Sri Lanka, with the Men in Blue yet another series on home soil! Rohit Sharma and Co will hope to make it 12 wins in a row tomorrow in the third and final game of the series while Sri Lanka will look for a consolation win. For now, this is Amit Banerjee signing off, wishing you all a good night! 22:47 (IST) Shreyas Iyer is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 74 Shreyas: That's my go-to movement. I'm able to sight the ball pretty well after that. The bowler was smarter though, he bowled a yorker and it swung, and I was lucky to survive. When I saw the recap, I was shocked literally, and it's something I want to forget. It was really important for me to time the ball in that situation. We saw Ishan, he was charging on really well but unfortunately got out. I wasn't really thinking about that. Was just thinking about the present situation and being honest about ourselves

Day 1 report:  A bold call by South Africa to bat first in the second Test against New Zealand paid dividends Friday with the tourists 238 for three, including a maiden century to Sarel Erwee, at stumps on day one. Erwee, in his second Test, headlined the scoreboard with 108, with 42 from Aiden Markram and 41 from Dean Elgar. Not out were Temba Bavuma on 22 and Rassie van der Dussen on 13. "We're probably on top at the moment," said Erwee, who at 32 is a late arrival in the Test arena, and started cautiously before opening up as a fine strokemaker with 14 fours from the 221 deliveries he faced. "To sit here today with a Test hundred behind my name is extremely special. "It's a very special day I must say. Probably 24 months ago I probably didn't think I'd be in a position to even be close to a South African Test squad." He shared in partnerships of 111 with Elgar and 88 with Markram but when Markram was dismissed Erwee followed three ball

Preview: Hosts New Zealand take on South Africa in the second Test, starting on Friday at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval. Dean Elgar’s Proteas are trailing the series 0-1 after a defeat in the series-opener last week, and are on the verge of being the first South Africa team to lose a series to New Zealand, should they concede the second Test. The Proteas were outplayed in all departments in the first Test, a match which they lost by an innings and 276 run. South Africa were put into bat after losing the toss, and things went downhill right away from the early stages of the game. As many as seven batters were dismissed for single figures while Zubayr Hamza was their leading run-scorer in the first innings with 25 runs. Matt Henry (7/23) stole the show to get rid the Proteas for 95. New Zealand responded strongly with knocks from Henry Nicholls (105) and Tom Blundell (96) taking the Kiwis to 482. Every South African bowler contributed with wickets, with Duanne Olivier scalping three
