Batting R B 4s 6s SR

Tony de Zorzi c Lockie Ferguson b Ben Sears 15 18 2 0 83.33

5.3

Ben Sears to Tony de Zorzi, OUT! CAUGHT! Ben Sears gets a wicket in his first over. Back of a length, outside off, Tony de Zorzi moves to his left and looks to ramp it over short fine. The ball gets big on him, and it is skied off the gloves towards short third. Lockie Ferguson runs over his right shoulder and takes a safe catch.

Wiaan Mulder c Cole McConchie b Lockie Ferguson 0 4 0 0 0

1.5

Lockie Ferguson to Wiaan Mulder, OUT! CAUGHT! Lockie Ferguson lands the first blow. A sharp catch by Cole McConchie. Pitched up, outside off. The width is there for Mulder to cash in and he cracks the drive, but neither does he get the elevation, nor is it wide enough to beat the catching cover fielder. McConchie reacts quickly and takes the catch to his left around his shoulder.

Connor Esterhuizen (W) c Nick Kelly b Mitchell Santner 15 8 2 1 187.5

4.2

Mitchell Santner to Connor Esterhuizen, OUT! CAUGHT! Mitchell Santner makes an impact straightaway. Short ball again, on off, and it gets an extra bounce off the deck. Connor Esterhuizen hangs back and looks to loft it, but gets a top edge. The ball carries towards the vacant mid off region. Nick Kelly moves to his left from mid on and takes a good catch. South Africa are 26/2 after 4.2 overs.

Jason Smith c Devon Conway b Mitchell Santner 10 7 2 0 142.86

6.6

Mitchell Santner to Jason Smith, OUT! TAKEN! That's a soft dismissal. Short ball, outside off, with a hint of turn. Jason Smith misjudges it completely. He tries to slap it but the ball stops and spins away to catch the outer half. The ball lobs in the air towards backward point where Devon Conway makes no mistake. South Africa are 44/4 after 7 overs.

Rubin Hermann b Cole McConchie 4 8 0 0 50

7.6

Cole McConchie to Rubin Hermann, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Another one departs, and South Africa are in massive trouble now. Short ball, outside off, and it turns away. Rubin Hermann reaches out to it and looks to slap it, but gets a bottom edge as the ball rattles over the stumps. South Africa are five down now for just 46 runs.

Dian Forrester c Tim Robinson b James Neesham 17 15 1 1 113.33

11.1

James Neesham to Dian Forrester, OUT! TAKEN! Wicket number six falls, and James Neesham strikes on his return to the attack. Hard length, outside off, Dian Forrester stays in his crease and goes hard at it. The ball goes quickly towards Tim Robinson at backward point, who leaps and takes a sharp catch to his left. South Africa are 68/6 after 11.1 overs.

George Linde c Tom Latham b Kyle Jamieson 23 19 2 1 121.05

14.2

Kyle Jamieson to George Linde, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Oh, just when South Africa were getting a bit of momentum into their innings, they lose a wicket. Kyle Jamieson bowls across a hard-length delivery, probably the slower ball as it comes late towards the batter, too wide. Linde goes back to cut but outside edges it to the left of the keeper. Tom Latham takes an excellent catch diving across. A good hand by George Linde, though.

Gerald Coetzee c Tom Latham b Kyle Jamieson 16 8 2 1 200

14.5

Kyle Jamieson to Gerald Coetzee, OUT! GONE! Wonderful from Latham once again. A scrambled seam delivery, into the surface and on off. Coetzee tries to guide it away, but the ball gets too close towards his body. He edges it in front of the keeper, Tom Latham, who dives forward and to his right to gobble it up. New Zealand back on top with this over.

Keshav Maharaj (C) b Ben Sears 3 8 0 0 37.5

16.2

Ben Sears to Keshav Maharaj, OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Full and straight at the sticks. Cross-seam delivery, skidding through. Keshav Maharaj gives himself room and charges down the track. He swings but is well beaten on the outside edge. The ball goes on to clatter into the off pole.

Devon Conway c Rubin Hermann b Keshav Maharaj 39 26 4 2 150

10.6

Keshav Maharaj to Devon Conway, OUT! CAUGHT! Devon Conway holes out. Flighted delivery, on off. Devon Conway reaches out in front and goes for the slog sweep but the ball is not full enough for that shot. One hand comes off the bat handle and he hits it flat towards deep mid-wicket, where Rubin Hermann runs in off the ropes and bends to take a safe catch. The 96-run opening stand has been broken. New Zealand need 41 more runs.

Tom Latham (W) not out 63 55 7 2 114.55

Tim Robinson lbw b Lutho Sipamla 17 17 2 0 100

16.1

Lutho Sipamla to Tim Robinson, OUT! LBW! A huge appeal for LBW and up goes the finger. Tim Robinson reviews it. UltraEdge shows no bat. Ball Tracking shows THREE REDS. New Zealand will have to wait a bit more. A good length delivery on middle and it nips in sharply. Tim Robinson hops to tuck it away but gets beaten on the inside edge. It was in line with the stumps. Tim Robinson took the review more in hope. Out it remains. A run is required.
