2.42pm Not surprisingly South Africa have been bundled for 162 after they were 80 for overnight. Henry did the early damage before Santner and Ravindra bowled in tandem to bag five wickets between them. Petersen was the main source of resistance for South Africa before he strangely went for a big shot and fell for 45. Clyde Fortuin and Duane Olivier fought it out against some accurate bowling but the scoring was so slow that South Africa couldn't get much here

We're hearing on commentary that New Zealand have not enforced the follow-on. South Africa still trail by 349 runs

Raji: "Latham was rushing to dressing room so no follow-on?" That's what it looks like

Ravindra to Paterson, OUT, beats him in the air and he also takes the off stump home. Nicely flighted on middle and leg, Paterson wants to work it away to leg but he's beaten completely by the turn and drift and loses his off stump

D Paterson b Ravindra 1 (7m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66

"Some of the Laws of cricket are amusing. Tea can be deferred by 30 minutes if 9 wickets are down, but not Drinks" Let's not go down that route for everyone's sanity, Ramapriya

Santner to Olivier, no run, slows it down a fair bit on off stump and Olivier does well to block again

Santner to Olivier, no run, not such a loud appeal for lbw, he was struck in front of leg and it was going in with the arm
71.4

Santner to Paterson, 1 run, goes for the big shot first ball and a leading edge falls between cover point and backward point for one

It's a drinks break. Paterson will take strike after that

"Southee holding the seam bowlers back. Follow on coming?" Possible, Chris

Garth: "It is not a given that they will enforce the follow on. They have already bowled 70 overs and won't want to bat last on this wicket."

Santner to Moreki, OUT, loses his patience, goes for a big shot, and Santner knocks over off stump! 50th Test wicket for Santner. Some flight and turn on middle turning towards off, Moreki wants to go down the ground but misses that completely and the ball hits the top of off. Santner's persistence pays off

TL Moreki b Santner 5 (20m 19b 1x4 0x6) SR: 26.31

Santner to Moreki, no run, plays the length ball on off low and late past second slip

Santner to Moreki, no run, flat and quick down leg, a half-hearted appeal off the edge but the umpire doesn't move

Fred: "@Hamza: SA Cricket needed all their international players in their domestic T20 comp to make their money for the year, NZ Cricket couldn't move this SA series without moving the series against Aus, which NZC needs in order to make their money for the year..."
