“I would say we are reasonably happy but not entirely happy because if we were three or four down we would be in a better position,” said Van der Dussen after close of play.Their spearhead Tim Southee steamed in for 32 overs, Matt Henry 35, Kyle Jamieson 27, Neil Wagner 31 and eight from all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme.
Van der Dussen said the Proteas, with a healthy lead, approached their second innings looking to play on the front foot and knowing fatigue could creep into their game. The Black Caps’ bowlers have already toiled for 53 overs in their second hunt with Southee accounting for 14 overs, Henry 13, Jamieson 11, Wagner 12 and three overs from De Grandhomme.
