Ramesh Kumar: "Wrong statistics from Sampath brother ... South Africa all out for 80 runs against India in 2006 test match in their first innings ... Kindly check" -- Good spot, but that was South Africa's first innings, and not the first innings of the Test match.

3.27pm Looks like they've taken tea early. Play will resume at 3.37pm. That's ten minutes from now.

Jared: "@David B - Mitchell is essentially selected as a batsman alone, with some part time bowling ability. He's earned the right to be considered one of the top 5 batsmen in the country, so the question is whether CDG's combo of batting and bowling is likely to add more than Rutherford or Philips' batting alone or Ravindra's batting/bowling. Given his record at Hagley you'd have to say it does."

Ian: "Great to see Henry do so well. Generally bowls 132-136km/h outswing, which means he's competing with Southee for one place in the team. The difference today was he consistently bowled 5 to 10km/h quicker than I've ever seen from him before. Gives NZ a great selection problem for the next test when Boult comes back...."

Henry: "Great to do it in front of my home fans, friends and family. It's not always going to go in your favour when you play the odd game here and there. When you woke up and saw the overheads here at Hagley, you'd hope you're bowling first."

Henry's figures here are the joint-best by a New Zealander at home in Test cricket. The other 7 for 23? Another Christchurch native: Sir Richard Hadlee against India at the Basin Reserve in 1976.

That stat is from Sampath Bandarupalli, and so is this one. This is the first time South Africa have been bowled out for below 100 in the first innings of a Test match since... 1932!

3.18pm Matt Henry leads New Zealand's players off the field, and holds the ball up to the Hagley Oval crowd. Stunning display from him, coming back for what would seem another guest appearance in this pace attack of great depth, and picking up 7 for 23. Seven for twenty three. Wow.

Henry will have his hat-trick opportunity now. Four slips, gully, short leg, short midwicket, short extra-cover in place.

Marcos: "If Wagner gets a wicket this over, is Henry still on a hat-trick next innings?" -- Yup, he will be.

Henry's on a hat-trick, but he'll have to wait for another over. And Wagner, of course, could finish off the innings here. The No. 11 Duanne Olivier is off strike for now.

Eli: "Very happy for Henry, has really struggled in his stop start test career. Has his first test 5fa, very well deserved! "

David B: "@Arun: "NZ middle order without Williamson, Taylor, Watling seems so odd." And very exploitable. Replacing Williamson with a seam-bowling allrounder, when you already have a seam-bowling allrounder, seems very odd. Surely there is another 4,5,6 batsman who would have been a better replacement."

88 for 8 is a reality. Here's the debutant Glenton Stuurman.

It's 88 for 7... Can Kagiso Rabada prevent 88 for 8? Henry goes around the wicket to the left-hander.

Short leg, leg gully and square leg in place for Jansen.
