Dozier was one of the reasons the teaam was buried from the beginning.

New Zealand 38 for 3 (Philander 1-10, Steyn 1-18) trail South Africa 481 for 8 dec (du Plessis 112*, Duminy 88, Wagner 5-86) by 444 runsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsFaf du Plessis scored his first century in 17 innings since December 2014 and South Africas seamers picked from where they left off in Durban to give the hosts control of the series decider. Du Plessis was one of a quintet of batsmen to cross fifty - only the second time all of South Africas top five have done so - as they wore New Zealand out before declaring on a day of toil for the visitors.When they have sent their opponents in, the current New Zealand crop have never been kept in the field for more overs than the 154 they were during South Africas innings. As a team, they have spent more time on the park eight times before when they have chosen to bowl first, most recently in 1999. The consolation for them was that Neil Wagner claimed his fourth five-wicket haul on his first Test appearance at his former home ground while the rest of the attack went largely luckless. Trent Boult will be particularly envious of the returns the other seamers enjoyed after he went wicketless despite creating numerous chances, beating the bat, finding movement and several edges.Instead, it was South Africa who reaped reward, as they plucked out New Zealands openers early. This time Vernon Philander was in on the action too. He created the first chance when he squared Martin Guptill up with a delivery that straightened from leg stump and took the edge but went over the slips where Stiaan van Zyl was reaching for it. Van Zyl only had to wait until Philanders next over to make amends. Guptill was fishing outside off again and van Zyl took the catch off the edge.At the other end, Dale Steyn was trying to force the batsmen to drive, and got one to nip back into Tom Latham and appealed for caught behind. Umpire Paul Reiffel gave it not out but Steyn was insistent and South Africa reviewed. Replays suggested the ball had brushed the pocket but a thin spike on Ultra Edge convinced the third umpire Richard Illingworth Latham was out off the inside edge.The decision fired Steyn up even more. He greeted Ross Taylor with a 140kph bouncer that struck him on the shoulder and another, even faster, at 145 kph, on the arm. Taylor weathered the storm but the the pressure got to him. As the first change was made - Kagiso Rabada took over from Philander - he nudged into the leg side set off a single. Temba Bavuma swooped to his left from short leg and his direct hit found Taylor short of his ground and dismissed for the first time on New Zealands African tour.Kane Williamson batted to the close but the oh no, he uttered when he squandered a review earlier in the day - agreeing to go upstairs when Wagner thought he had Philander out lbw - could have applied to the whole day for New Zealand.They started strongly when Boult continued his blistering new-ball spell and threatened a wicket in almost every over. He could have had one off the first ball of the morning, which nipped back into du Plessis and almost took out off stump. Later he drew an inside-edge, rapped du Plessis on the pads and had him pulling to deep square leg where Henry Nicholls let it slip through his grasp.Fortune was with South Africa as JP Duminy survived too. He could have been caught in the slips but the edge fell short and he was regularly beaten but he fought his way into form. Duminy seemed destined for a first Test hundred in two years but then got a bottom edge off a rash pull to finish 12 short.Wagner used a signature short ball to remove Temba Bavuma, the only batsmen not to get into double figures, but South Africas long line-up meant New Zealand were not through. Stiaan van Zyl - now batting in the middle order after an unsuccessful stint at the top - joined du Plessis in circumspection and batted most of the second session while du Plessis patiently played for a century.His strike rate only climbed when he moved from 60 to 80 in 15 deliveries. For the rest of his innings, du Plessis was willing to wait and it was only after van Zyl and Philander were dismissed that he got there. In two emotional overs, Wagner celebrated a five-for in front of friends and family from his hometown and du Plessis was vindicated after being dropped in the last Test series and brought back as stand-in captain for this one. Personal performance aside, du Plessis doubtless ended the day the happier man. Alex Smith Redskins Jersey .

"Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. MINNEAPOLIS -- Not long after Brian Dozier belted his 39th home run of the season, a no-doubter that rocketed into the second deck to give him a homer in his fifth straight game and continue his historic power surge, the Minnesota Twins second baseman was nowhere to be found.The solo shot to lead off the bottom of the first inning against the Kansas City Royals wasnt enough, just as so many of his others havent been in another miserable year of losing for the Twins. So when reporters streamed into the clubhouse to get Doziers thoughts on joining Harmon Killebrew in the Twins record book for most consecutive games with a long ball and tying Alfonso Soriano for the most homers by a second baseman in American League history, Dozier was already long gone.He wasnt interested in talking about his accomplishments after a 10-3 loss dropped the Twins 29 games behind the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central. He didnt want indulge the thought that his homer spree is helping to ease the pain of a sixth straight season missing the postseason.Dozier has been one of the very few bright spots for a massively disappointing team that is steamrolling toward 100 losses. And the polite, Tupelo, Mississippi native has been using that aw-shucks drawl of his not to deliver some kind of false modesty about the roll hes on. It almost seems like he feels compelled to apologize for it.You do recognize the home runs and all that kind of stuff, its great for the game and the fans and all that stuff, Dozier said on Tuesday before the Twins gave up seven in the ninth to lose to the Royals. You never want to get too high or too low about it, especially at the end of the day when you look up and youre still 25 games out of first place.Thats the frustrating part. You want to enjoy the success, but it doesnt taste as good unless youre on the winning side of things.The Twins are a major league-worst 52-88 this season and have lost 17 of their last 20 games. There has not been a day this season where they have not been in last place in the division. Dozier was one of the reasons the teaam was buried from the beginning.dddddddddddd The former All-Star struggled mightily in the first two months of the season and was still hitting .202 with just five homers in the first week in June, with a pull-heavy approach at the plate making him easy for opposing pitchers to attack.After getting away and clearing his head during the All-Star break, Dozier has been a man on fire. He has 22 home runs in his last 37 games, two fewer than the entire Marlins team over that span. He trails Baltimores Mark Trumbo by two homers for most in the big leagues and only Atlantas Davey Johnson (42) in 1973, Rogers Hornsby (42) in 1922 and Cubs great Ryne Sandberg (40) in 1990 have hit more in a season as second basemen.Weve tried to figure out exactly how all this has taken place, Twins manager and Hall of Famer Paul Molitor said. I havent really witnessed as a player, a coach, a manager, a power surge to this level. Its just been such a regular occurrence.The binge has been so staggering that the teams beleaguered fans have tossed aside convention to honor him. When Dozier hit his third homer of the game on Monday against the Royals, fans stood and cheered and begged for a curtain call despite a six-run deficit.A bashful Dozier finally relented.I know as a Saints fan that weve had some rough, rough years. But when a Drew Brees throws for 400 yards, thats what you come to watch, he said. You have a lot of loyal fans that pay a lot of money. They want you to do a curtain call. And even though you feel awkward and you dont really know about doing it because were getting the crap beaten out of us, its pretty cool.With 22 games left, it seems like only a matter of time before Dozier climbs into history. Perhaps more importantly, he is providing a happy diversion during the long slog to the finish line.Im always right there at the top of the stairs, watching to see the ball fly off his bat, teammate Trevor Plouffe said. Its really cool. ' ' '
