Williamson lone spark as New Zealand fold for 214
Gavaskar was cool about it. He passed the time taking selfies with fans outside the gate until India team bus left and we were allowed in. *according to the website Pretoria, Aug. 29: Captain Kane Williamson made a determined 77 but New Zealand were bowled out for 214, leaving them with a deficit of 267 at tea on the third day of the second test against South Africa at Centurion on Monday.
Williamson was the last wicket to fall as New Zealand lost seven wickets in the first two sessions after starting the day on 38 for three.
His 77 came off 133 balls but apart from an entertaining cameo by tailender Neil Wagner, there were few other positives for the Kiwi batsmen.
Pretoria-born Wagner hit Dale Steyn to all corners of the ground in an aggressive knock of 31 off 30 balls before the South African paceman got him out caught behind.
Henry Nicholls was the only other batsmen to get among the runs but was the first wicket to fall before lunch when he was trapped lbw by Kagiso Rabada for 36.
Steyn took 3-66, Rabada 3-62 and Vernon Philander grabbed two wickets. — Reuters
