- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR45.2 The Breetzke show ends! Caught at mid-off. Back of a length, into the pitch, and Henry hides it away from the reach of Breetzke. Might have been the slower variation. Breetzke can't get hold of it and miscues it to Bracewell at mid-off 263/47.3 Appeal for caught behind, and the umpire agrees. The short ball brings about Bavuma's undoing. Banged in short on leg stump. The ball gets big on Bavuma, who eyes a pull. Gets a faint edge and Latham does the rest 37/124.6 Terrific work from Santner! He swoops down on the ball at short cover and throws it to Latham who takes the bails off swiftly to catch Smith short. No single there and he can't undo his steps in time. He dives in vain. Slashes this short ball to Santner and is caught short of his crease. Smith falls nine shy of his fifty. Santner grabs the ball with his left hand and releases it so very quickly. Made that look easy 130/226.2 Bracewell cleans up Verreynne. Pushed through flat and quick, Verreynne shapes for a reverse-sweep and does not make any contact with the ball, offering it a free pathway to crash into leg stump. NZ's spinners are doing the job for them 132/348.5 Caught by Daz Mitchell at deep point. Mulder manufactures swinging room. O'Rourke chases the moving batter with a short ball and cramps him. Two men on the off-side boundary. Mulder can only scythe it to Mitchell at the deep point boundary 300/549.3 slowie, on a shorter length and outside off, Muthusamy holes out to long-on. Offcutter, into the pitch, and away from the swinging arc of Muthusamy. He falls for 2 on debut 303/6Extras18 (lb 3, w 15)TOTAL304/6 (50 Overs, RR: 6.08)Fall of wickets: 1-37 (Temba Bavuma, 7.3 ov), 2-130 (Jason Smith, 24.6 ov), 3-132 (Kyle Verreynne, 26.2 ov), 4-263 (Matthew Breetzke, 45.2 ov), 5-300 (Wiaan Mulder, 48.5 ov), 6-303 (Senuran Muthusamy, 49.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR9.5 Oh, dear. A soft dismissal. A nothing back of a length delivery down leg. He could have dispatched that anywhere, but can only swivel and help it straight into the hands of Mpongwana at short fine leg. He seemed to have lost the ball initially but he held on 50/135.3 Short, wide and he's picked out point. Oh, dear! That is a great catch by Muthusamy. He thrashes the cut but the point fielder anticipates well by moving to his left and grabbing that low. Conway can't believe his luck. Allows himself a wry smile before trudging off. 237/238.2 Oh, my word! You can't do that Wiaan Mulder. Stunning catch. Floated outside off, he charges down the track and slams this up and over. Does not get a perfect connection, but decent enough for the ball to clear the fence. But Mulder running from long-on to his left, keeps his eye on the ball, takes the catch and ensures he does not lose his balance. Super stuff 251/338.3 Appeal for lbw, not given. Muthusamy wants to go up. And his captain agrees. Quicker full-length ball on leg stump. Latham goes for a sweep first up, misses and is rapped on the pad. This looks mighty close. No bat or glove. Clear gap there. Pitching in line, impact in line and tracker confirms that the ball would have thudded into off stump. Latham's lean patch of form continues. 251/4Extras21 (lb 5, nb 2, w 14)TOTAL308/4 (48.4 Overs, RR: 6.32)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Will Young, 9.5 ov), 2-237 (Devon Conway, 35.3 ov), 3-251 (Daryl Mitchell, 38.2 ov), 4-251 (Tom Latham, 38.3 ov)
