32nd over Missed run-out of AndersonAB de Villiers
Corey Anderson had made 33 when, after Grant Elliott pushed the ball to point, he was sent back to the non-striker's end by his partner. South Africa captain AB de Villiers, one of the best fielders in world cricket, was at the bowler's end to take a hard throw on the half-volley but broke the wicket before collecting the ball and was then unable to remove a stump with ball in hand as he made a second attempt to effect a run-out. Anderson went on to make 58, sharing a fifth-wicket stand with Elliott worth 103 runs.

41st over Missed run-out of Elliott
South Africa wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock failed to gather a low throw from Rilee Rossouw and knocked the bails off with his gloves, with Elliott, going for a risky second run, outside of the crease by a distance. Had Elliott been run out for 66, it would have left New Zealand 272 for six.
