CHRISTCHURCH, Feb 17: Matt Henry’s seven-wicket haul was backed up by a gritty batting performance by Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls as New Zealand dominated South Africa on Day 1 of the first Test at the Hagley Oval on Thursday.
At stumps, New Zealand’s score read 116/3 – leading by 21 runs. Henry Nicholls (37*) and Neil Wagner (2*) were unbeaten at the crease.
After bundling out South Africa for 95, New Zealand openers Tom Latham and Will Young put on 18 runs for the first wicket, however, this stand was broken by Marco Jansen in the 12th over as he dismissed Young (8). Soon after, Duanne Olivier bowled Latham (15) and New Zealand was reduced to 36/2.
Henry Nicholls and Devon Conway then stitched together a partnership of 75 runs. This stand was finally broken as Olivier bowled Conway (36).
Earlier, after being sent onto bat on Day 1, South Africa were bundled out for just 95 inside 50 overs. Matt Henry returned figures of 7/23 as the pacer decimated the Proteas batting. (ANI)
