NZ vs SA: Sarel Erwee's Ton Puts South Africa Ahead Of New Zealand At The End Of Day 1
After a one-sided loss to New Zealand in the first test match of the series, South Africa has rebounded with a strong Day 1 performance where their team has a total of 238-3 at the end of the day’s play.
South Africa took the crease determined to hold their ground after the dismal performance in the first Test that saw them lose to New Zealand by an innings and started out well. The opening wicket partnerships lasted for 119 runs between captain Dean Elgar and Sarel Erwee. Aiden Markram would chip in with a solid performance after Elgar was dismissed to help South Africa to a strong total. The day ended with Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen on strike. Tim Southee, Matt Henry and Neil Wagner all took one wicket on the day.
