South Africa ease to win over New Zealand in second Test

South Africa seal a series win over New Zealand with a 204-run win in the second Test.

South Africa have recorded a 204-run victory over New Zealand in the second Test match at Centurion.

New Zealand had been set a target of 400 to edge out their hosts but after being reduced to 7-4, they never came close to registering an unlikely win.

A 76 from Henry Nicholls was an act of defiance rather than a knock that gave the Black Caps any realistic hope of success, and he was the last man to go after remaining at the crease for over four hours.

Dale Steyn was the star of the show as he recorded figures of 5-33 while Vernon Philander and Kagiso Rabada chipped in with two wickets apiece.

The win for the Proteas sealed a 1-0 triumph in the best-of-two series.
