If today was a full day of cricket, we felt with one (New Zealand) seamer down and one of their main batters out of the team, we fancied our chances. It&#39;s very disappointing from that point of view,&quot; Faf du Plessis told International Cricket Council&#39;s (ICC) website.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We were 190 ahead on a wicket that was spinning quite a bit. Purely on the match position, if we got 50-60 more runs, a 250 lead, and set them that in 50-60 overs, we&#39;d fancy our chances,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, South Africa scored 224\/6 in the second innings with du Plessis unbeaten on 56 and Vernon Philander on one.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>South Africa scored 308 in their first innings, to which New Zealand replied with 341.<\/p>\r\n",
