NZ are notoriously bad reviewers and it continues..

They never look too confident when taking it either

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

But .... That looked a good shout.

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

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.

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

Don’t be cynical and ruin his moment. He still has time to be our best pace bowler ever.

Yeah, Henry is consistently bowling in very good areas, they reckon it rained for 3 days in a row just before the test, so ideal conditions for his style of bowling, he could've have easily had 5 wickets in the morning session, thought Jamieson bowled really well too, getting swing & bounce, was unlucky not to get a couple more.
Hopefully we keep the foot on the throat & continue chipping out wickets.

commentators saying that the surface was less threatening just before lunch (although that could have been just CDG trundling in), eitherway happy to see top order knocked over and puts us in a good position

and I wonder how much we can thank to finally winning a toss lol

With the sun drying the wicket out it's looking a bit easier to bat on... if we can manage to knock over their two current batsmen within the first hour after lunch we will be a great position.

One down!

[No Quarter]

Boult must be watching this swing pondering whether being there for his kids birth was really worth it

done in 43 minutes.

Thanks Henry

if we are honest, we gave England enormous shit for turning up in Aus with a batting lineup probably better than this
