NZ vs SA Day 3 STUMPS: South Africa lead goes pass 200 with 5 wickets in bag, NZ’s Grandhomme hits century

At stumps, South Africa’s score read 140/5– leading by 211 runs. Kyle Verreynne (22*) and Wiaan Mulder (10*) are currently at the crease.

After gaining a lead of 71 runs, South Africa did not get off to a good start in the second innings as the visitors lost their opening three wickets with just 38 runs on the board. Sarel Erwee (8), Dean Elgar (13) and Aiden Markram (14) all failed with the bat. Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen then got together and the duo put on 65 runs for the fourth wicket.

However, this partnership was broken by Neil Wagner in the 34th over as the left-arm pacer dismissed Dussen (45), reducing Proteas to 103/4 with the lead being 174. Soon after, Temba Bavuma (23) was sent back to the pavilion by Wagner and this brought the match on a knife’s edge.

In the end, Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder ensured that Proteas do not lose more wickets before the close of play on Day 3.

Earlier, resuming Day 3 at 157/5, the hosts added 136 runs more to their total, before being bowled out for 293. Colin de Grandhomme top-scored and he remained unbeaten on 120. His knock was studded with 12 fours and 3 sixes.

Grandhomme second Test century and a 133-run sixth-wicket stand with Daryl Mitchell kept the South African lead to just 71 runs.

The home team was bowled out for 293.

Grandhomme scored uneaten 120 runs off 158 balls with 12 boundaries & 3 sixes. Daryl Mitchell also scored fighting 60.

Kagiso Rabada & Marco Jansen were the wrecker in the chiefs against New Zealand. While Rabada returned with a fifer, Jansen added 4 wickets to his tally.

Things would have been even worse for New Zealand if not for Grandhomme’s efforts. South Africa had taken four wickets below 100 and Rabada and Jansen were breathing fire. Grandhomme though took the attack to the opposition and played his shots.

NZ vs SA Day 3 STUMPS: South Africa lead goes pass 200 with 5 wickets in bag, NZ’s Grandhomme hits century

Meanwhile, South Africa yet again dominated day two. The visitors scored 364 with help from some useful cameos from Marco Jansen and Keshav Maharaj.

New Zealand struggled with the bat in their first innings with the top-order crumbling under pressure from Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen. South Africa would be hoping to pick up five wickets and get to a handy first-innings lead. On the other hand, the hosts would be hoping to get close to South Africa’s first innings total.

Day 2 in the books at Hagley Oval. Another strong day for South Africa. Colin de Grandhomme 54* Daryl Mitchell 29* take the team to the close. Scorecard | https://t.co/KomILy93NC #NZvSA pic.twitter.com/Oxzecz7JAj
