A resolute century by 21-year-old Kane Williamson trumped a hostile South African bowling attack and allowed New Zealand to hang on for a draw in the third Test at Basin Reserve on Tuesday.
South Africa secured the series 1-nil but were on the verge a second victory before tea after a sensational bowling performance by Morne Morkel reduced New Zealand to 83-5.
New Zealand lost only one further wicket in the final session as Williamson held firm ending on 102 not out alongside Doug Bracewell who had 20.
New Zealand ended on 200 for 6.
Morkel finished with career best figures of six for 23 which won him the man-of-the-match award.
