Test 2022 South Africa Tour of New Zealand (2 Tests)

[Plugger35]

a great catch from Blundell to dismiss Elgar, some pressure back on SA now.

 

[Plugger35]

Henry bowls Markram with a yorker, the Black Caps right back in this match now.

 

[The 747]

Really interesting game, swings back and forth, Sometimes the pitch seams all over the place, sometimes it plays like a road.

Great time for interesting Test cricket around the world.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

These two holding pretty firm at the moment to get to a lead of 150. They really do need a decent score though, both in the context of this match and for their credentials.

 

[Plugger35]

These two looking pretty comfortable now, NZ's lack of a spinner might be coming back to bite them.

And as I speak de Grandhomme drops a straight forward catch off Wagner, that could be very costly.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

CDG drops one of the easier catches you’ll see at this level.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Van der Dussen going after a full on Wagner.

Ed: and he’s been grassed at short square leg.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Wagner gets VDD c&b!!!!

 

[Plugger35]

Great caught and bowled from Wagner, can always rely on him to make a breakthrough when no one else can.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

VDD doesn't get lucky that time.

 

[Jiggyman]

And there goes Bavuma, mistimed drive to the fielder.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Soft as butter dismissal Bavuma.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Horrid dismissal Bavuma.

 

[The 747]

Wagner gets Bavuma, big wicket. 185 lead, 5 wickets in hand.

 

[Plugger35]

Bavuma will be kicking himself there, a soft dismissal just when he was looking good.

The story of his career.

 

[Plugger35]

SA leading by 211 at stumps with 5 wickets in hand, they are still favourites to win but if NZ can keep the lead to below 300 they are in with a chance.

 

[ioppolo]

Chance for Mulder to justify his selection in South Africa's XI

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Been a belter of a morning so far for the Saffers....lead out to 290, 4 wickets in hand.

takes Catch of the Year!!!!!!

 

[The 747]

Incredible catch

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

SA in a strong position with a 300 run lead. Veryenne finally putting together a great innings and a ripping catch by Young yo remove Jansen.

 

[Plugger35]

SA definitely favourites now with the lead over 300, NZ need to wrap up the last few wickets quickly after lunch or this lead could get out of reach.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Rabada lighting it up with the bat.

Lead out to 336...

 

[Plugger35]

Rabada batting like Chris Gayle.

 

[Crashy]

50 off 5 overs so far this session

 

[The 747]

Rabada putting the game out of NZ reach, although crazy chases can happen in NZ.
