2nd Test: New Zealand v South Africa at Auckland, 18-22 Mar 2004
Ball-by-Ball Commentary
Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10.30am local time (21.30 GMT Wednesday)
Welcome to a sunny Eden Park in Auckland for the start of the 2nd
Test between New Zealand and South Africa
The series still level after the draw in Hamilton last week, so
once again all to play for, for both teams
Major milestone for Gary Kirsten becoming the first South African
to play 100 tests, also the 29th player of all time to get to 100
There was some rain over night, but no rain expected today
For New Zealand Chris Cairns needs 2 wickets for 200 wickets, while
Jacques Kallis chasing either the 7th 50 in a row, or the 6th 100
in a test match
A further milestone is that Pollock need one wicket to pass Donald
as South Africa's leading Test wicket taker
The pitch, another drop in pitch, has grass, a little fine and dry,
but could help early on
It does look hard with some early help to the bowling side, but
should once again turn into a good batting pitch
New Zealand have won the toss and as expected has sent South Africa
in to bat
New Zealand team is as announced, while South Africa include Nicky
Boje and David Terbrugge for Adams and Nel

Fleming did
We will be back in 35 minutes

Thanks for your time, we will be back at the start of day 4
Good Night
Match State: Stumps - Day 3
News from Eden Park is that today is clock re-set day in New
Zealand
That means that the game is shifted by an hour
with very little to talk about for the next hour I suggest you
visit cricinfo.com and have a look at all the milestones and
records set during this test
you can also mail comms@cricinfo.com with all your suggestions,
complaints, praise and donations
It would also help us a lot if you visit our sponsors while we wait
for the start of day 4
We will be back in 45 minutes
Welcome back to Eden Park, the late start due to the clock change
in New Zealand
Hopefully the extra hour sleep will have rejuvinated the South
Africans who must have had one of their worst days ever in the

New Zealand in total control of this Test and with 180 overs left
will need South Africa to show some grit
