@bovidae have they named a final lineup? No Trent Boult?

Stead has already said that Henry will replace the unavailable Boult. CdG also playing.

[JK]

@canes4life

Latham, Young, Conway, Nicholls, Mitchell, Blundell, CdG, Jamieson, Southee, Wagner, Boult

[No Quarter]

A good start:

New Zealand win toss and bowl.

When you bowl first you need to roll them for under 250 or you are waaay behind the game.

I guess our bowling is stronger than our batting so can understand the decision, but hope we are not being too conservative.

1/1 - Henry with the early breakthrough

NZ are notoriously bad reviewers and it continues..

[Rapido]

Normally I'd have a cynical comment about Southee getting a review that is declined.

But .... That looked a good shout.

[JK]

Big Kyle strikes with his 3rd ball! 20/2

[No Quarter]

That's the Klye we know, unplayable

They never look too confident when taking it either

I'm not convinced DRS is great at picking up late swing like that. Umpires call for sure but I'd say it was clipping off stump.

On replay I dont think it was hitting, certainly not offering a shot probably got everyone excited, close though, but I dont think you review for those personally (if you have limited reviews)

Happy to see big Kyle troubling batsmen again, he was one we really needed to find his rhythm

Now to get rid of rest of top order

[bayimports]

ha ha now that is a waste of a review (for the Proteas)

another good wicket to get

[mariner4life]

good to see the bowlers backing up the skipper's decision

[Donsteppa]

Henry currently 3-15 (7) makes me feel happier about my sun-baked ranting and raving after day five at Bay Oval

[No Quarter]

Henry is carving them up

[Bovidae]

Henry seems to perform when he opens the bowling but doesn't offer much in his 2nd and 3rd spells. So far, so good for him.

[MN5]

Henry clearly reading the fern and telling us all to get fucked and that he does belong at this level.

Fixed

SA 44/4 at lunch. And both batsmen at the crease are also on 4....

Think the Black Caps would be pretty happy with that start to the test.

The key will be continuing on with it after lunch and closing out the SA innings for small total
