Wagner to Bavuma, out Lbw!! This is a body blow for South Africa. Bavuma is the only batter who looked a bit assured at the crease and the bowling change to switch to Wagner has worked for New Zealand. This was a length delivery that nipped back in, Bavuma not fully forward, tries to defend but beaten on the inside edge. Impact on the back leg in line with middle and ball-tracker says hitting a fair bit of top of middle and leg. Wagner is absolutely thrilled. Bavuma lbw b Wagner 41(73) [4s-6]
