- After a slower ball tricked Roston Chase, Lockie Ferguson made it 21-3. Five balls later, Southee got skipper Rovman Powell (1) behind.
- Rutherford accepted the offer as Russell launched an assault, but his departure due to a deep ball of Boult’s bowling looked to be an insurmountable blow.
- The captain of New Zealand, Williamson, stated, “Sherfane’s innings was of high quality.” “There’s no denying that their side’s depth at bat helped. There are no justifications for us; we must find a solution.”
