Southee to Imam, out Caught by Blundell!! New Zealand reckon Imam has got an edge on the cut and they review straightaway. They looked very confident, the bat is very close to the ball and there's some noise as the ball went past the bat. UltraEdge on and there's a spike on the toe-end. Imam has seen it for himself and is walking away. A successful review and he's OUT. First wicket of the day and once again Imam can't convert his half-century into a three-digit score. Short and wide of off, he saw the width and threw his hands on the cut, the ball grazes a thin under-edge, right off the toe and carries nicely through to Blundell. He looked so comfortable and will be gutted at having thrown it away. Imam c Blundell b Southee 83(165) [4s-10 6s-1]
