CRICKET:New Zealand move to 157 for four in their second innings, following on and still 247 runs behind South Africa, at the close of the third day's play in the second Test in Port Elizabeth yesterday.

Unbeaten pair BJ Watling (41) and Dean Brownlie (44) provided stern resistance and the duo looked relatively untroubled as they added an unbroken fifth-wicket partnership of 73 off 27.2 overs to steer their team to the close of play.

Opener Martin Guptill contributed 48 before being bowled by seamer Rory Kleinveldt who went on to have Daniel Flynn (0) caught behind with his next delivery.

Kleinveldt ended the day with two for 31 while left-arm spinner Robin Peterson claimed two for 29.
