Stumps - Day 2. All grins in the New Zealand camp. They have prised out Erwee, Elgar and Markram inside this 9-over stage. However, South Africa will be confident of placing on a battle in the wake of seeing the positive goal from Bavuma. New Zealand showed earlier today that it was the right methodology on this pitch that has backed out a great deal for batting, yet offering some assistance for the bowlers. The Proteas turned up with trust toward the beginning of today, yet were collapsed by nightwatchman Neil Wagner's animosity in the absolute first hour. Rabada taken for full go-around of fours. Then, at that point, he proceeded to smack several sixes off the others as well and New Zealand heaped on 74 runs in only the main hour - Wagner scoring 47 off them. He played all shots and the bowlers hadn't the faintest idea. Nicholls held stronghold toward one side and afterward finished his eighth Test hundred preceding dying.
Tom Blundell: Pretty content with the work. It's been somewhat of a lean run for me this season. So I'm glad to contribute. Henry was great tomfoolery, appreciated it. Been dealing with that (front foot drives) for quite a while. This warm-up outfits me somewhat more than Basin due to the skip. They (Southee, Henry) have been remarkable the entire game. To get three this evening is astounding. Ideally the bowlers can do the work tomorrow also. Fingers crossed, perhaps wrap it up tomorrow.
