Frase: "@Steve Challis, let's hope so! A real treat watching Williamson and Ravndra bat."

Steve Challis: "Very lame effort by the Proteas this morning. Now watch NZ score 500 again."

Neville Smeda: "All that experience, and Paterson plays the dumbest shot first ball up! So irresponsible. Was this what his captain told him to do? Ugh."

11.42am So South Africa's last four wickets could last only 8.2 overs this morning add only 22 to their overnight total. O'Rourke finishes with 4 for 59 in his debut innings. We will be back with the second innings in a bit.

W
O'Rourke to Paterson, OUT, O'Rourke has four on debut. He will be on a hat-trick when he bowls his first ball in the second innings. It was short of length and Paterson cleared his front leg for a big hoick, only to miscue it behind the stumps. Latham walked forward to his right from the second slip and settled under it

D Paterson c Latham b O'Rourke 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Dane Paterson is the No. 11

W
O'Rourke to de Swardt, OUT, Chopped on! O'Rourke has his third. It was short of length around off. De Swardt looked to dab it down but ended up deflecting it onto his heels and the ball bounced back to tickle the stumps and dislodge the bail

R de Swardt b O'Rourke 64 (221m 156b 9x4 0x6) SR: 41.02

Neil: "Jamieson definitely has the skill to be our next frontline pacer, but he seems to be heading down the road of Shane Bond. Out of the team more than in it due to injury."

0
O'Rourke to Moreki, no run, caught behind, or is it? No one seems to be sure, and Southee doesn't review. Was a length ball that shaped away to beat the outside edge and brush the pad on its way. Not lbw either as the impact was outside off
