Highlights, New Zealand vs South Africa, 1st Test Day 1 in Christchurch: Black Caps lead by 21 runs at stumps

Firstpost  

Follow the live scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary on the opening day of the first Test between New Zealand and South Africa at the Hagley Oval Toggle between the tabs above to switch between quick scorecard, full scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary Preview: New Zealand and South Africa are focusing on the notoriously green Hagley Oval wicket as they draw up battle plans for the first Test starting in Christchurch on Thursday. But the main talking point for New Zealand captains Tom Latham and South African counterpart Dean Elgar on Wednesday was the bowl-first reputation of the lush Hagley Oval surface. “We’ve played some really good cricket at home now for a long period and I know if we can adapt to the wicket, adapt to the surface, then hopefully we’ll give ourselves a good chance of being on the right side.” New Zealand go into the Test on a high after thrashing Bangladesh by an innings and eight wickets on the same ground a month ago and Latham said they have been focusing on their poor record against South Africa who they have beaten just four times in 45 Tests. “From what I’ve experienced in the nets we’ve had it’s been a pretty good competition between bat and ball.” Like New Zealand, South Africa are without key players with Keegan Petersen and Anrich Nortje absent.
