New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum took advantage of second and third chances to top score with 56 in his team\'s total of 253-9 batting first in Saturday\'s opening one-dayer against South Africa. McCullum was twice given out, including to the first ball of his innings, and twice had those decisions reversed by replays, allowing him to play a key role in New Zealand\'s low-key batting effort. Kane Williamson also scored a half century while James Franklin and opener Rob Nicol made decent contributions, but the home team was pegged back by the South Africa bowling attack, with Lonwabo Tsotsobe recording the best figures of 2-41 from his 10 overs.
