Edward Moore 23(50)

14.5

Matt Henry to Moore, out Caught by Conway!! Conway has plucked out a blinder inches off the turf. The bowler bumped one on, caught the batter by surprise who edged it. The ball ballooned up around the cover point area for the fielder to charge in and take it. Third one down for SA. He was taken aback by the delivery and that plotted his downfall. Top delivery to get a wicket. NZ continue to boss the Test. Both his feet were in the air as the ball took off after landing. Moore c Conway b Matt Henry 23(50) [4s-4]
