CRICKET New Zealand 185 and 192

South Africa 226 and 41-1

Bryan Young, the New Zealand opener, laboured to the third slowest half-century in Test cricket in Durban yesterday, but South Africa, chasing 152 for victory, still look set to square the series at 1-1.

Young spent 333 minutes compiling his 50, during which time he faced 229 balls. England's Trevor Bailey reached 50 in 357 minutes against Australia in 1958-59, and his compatriot Chris Tavare took 350 minutes against Pakistan in 1982.
