Mitchell Santner swoops in and gathers it with one hand before releasing an underarm throw at the bowling end. He misses and the replays show that Tony would have been out had the throw hit, as his bat got stuck in the turf.

It's the pace of Lockie Ferguson from the other end.

Kyle Jamieson to Tony de Zorzi, Good inward shape from Jamieson but it is too straight, on a length, around leg. Tony attempts the glance but fails to lay any bat on it. The ball brushes the pads before the keeper, Tom Latham grabs it with a dive to his right.

All set for action. Mitchell Santner leads his team out in the middle. They are in a huddle before they disperse to their respective position. Tony de Zorzi gets the opening slot along with Wiaan Mulder. Kyle Jamieson to steam in first. A slip in place. Let's play...

Time to hear from the Proteas camp - Wiaan Mulder shares that the team reflected on the previous defeat and admits that New Zealand were better in terms of execution. On opening the batting, he says it's a new challenge but one he enjoys, adding that it suits his game. Acknowledges that while there are players who can go hard from the start, it's about finding his own way at the top of the order.

A quick word - New Zealand's Devon Conway says it was a gritty last innings as the wicket wasn't easy at all, but he accepted the conditions and adjusted accordingly. He adds that Gerald Coetzee has troubled him so far in this series, coming over the wicket, but he is not trying to fight back, but play through the line. Shares that the straight boundaries are pretty short, so the bowlers might bowl a bit short, and as a batter, they'll try to play more square of the wicket.

South Africa's captain - Keshav Maharaj says that the straight boundaries are small and believes that batting first will help them understand the right lengths to bowl. He adds that they want to bounce back from the last game and ends by saying the boys are up for the challenge.

The captain of New Zealand - Mitchell Santner says it looks like a good wicket with a bit of grass on it. Adds that with the traditional bounce on offer, he expects there to be some assistance for the seamers early on. Praises the seamers for the way they bowled in Hamilton.
