Welcome back. The hosts are in a huddle before they walk out. 9 overs left in the day. Erwee the debutant to take strike. Southee has the ball. Three slips and a gully in.

5.45pm: Henry runs off and Blundell walks back to a standing ovation as the third umpire overturns the original decision. The lead is 387. The agony for South Africa is over. The last wicket stand was worth 94 with Matt Henry following up his bowling heroics with 58 not out with the bat. Tired legs, tired bowlers, tired minds and South Africa just wilted under the sun at the Hagley Oval. Blundell was all set for his Test ton but nicked off with four short. A mammoth lead and a massive 35-40 minutes before stumps for the South African openers to face. Back for the reply in 10 minutes...

Kartik Gada: "This narrowly missed the super-rare instance of a last-wicket stand (94) being more than an opponent's entire innings (95). "

Eye of Sauron: "Only the fourth time and the first since march 2004 that 5 or more players from NZ have scored 45 runs in an innings vs SA. Also the first time since the same match in march 2004 that a NZ batsman has been dismissed in the 90s against SA. Jacob Oram was dismissed for 90 back in 2004 at Auckland. "

Kiwi Gee: "Matt Henry has already done 4 important things in the test. Taken 7 wickets, scored a fifty, helped NZ get to a lead of 387, and WOULD'VE got Blundell to his ton."

Rabada.

Alex: "He took 6 to get MOTM at Edgaston warming the seat for Southee and Jamieson, NZ's best bowlers at the time, where Boult also got six and Wagner four. This… is a bit different."

Around the wicket to Henry.
