Mitchell Santner 13(42)
73.5
Lakmal to Santner, out Lbw!! Santner walks towards his partner to have a chat regarding taking the review, Southee must have told him that it looks dead as a dodo. And off he goes. It was a length delivery shaping back into Santner, he wouldn't have anticipated the extravagant inwards movement off the deck. He did the cardinal sin of not offering a shot, it rapped him on the pads and looked adjacent. The umpire raises his finger instantly and New Zealand are in a bit of trouble now.
