HAMILTON, New Zealand, March 26, (AP): Quinton de Kock ignored shooting pain from an injured finger to make 90 and bolster South Africa’s first innings Sunday on the rain-affected second day of the third cricket test against New Zealand.
After innings of 50 by Hashim Amla and 53 by captain Faf du Plessis, and before Kagiso Rabada made his highest test score of 34, de Kock’s 118ball innings gave substance to the South African innings, which ended at 314 just after tea.
New Zealand openers Tom Latham and Jeet Raval then negotiated a difficult period before stumps in an extended final session to reach 67-0 in their strongest partnership of the three-match series.
De Kock
Latham showed signs of emerging from a prolonged slump by reaching 42 not out after his previous innings in the series of 10, 8 and 6 and his scores of 4, 7, 0, 0, 2 and 0 in his last six one-day internationals. Jeet Raval, who already has two half centuries and a highest score of 80 in the series, was 25 not out.
The match, in keeping with the series which South Africa leads 1-0, has been tight throughout. The Proteas were 123-4 at the end of a first day restricted to 41 overs due to rain. They advanced to 243-7 by lunch Sunday after the only uninterupted session in the match so far, scoring 120 while New Zealand took three wickets.
Almost all of the middle session was lost to rain — in 4.2 overs, South Africa advanced to 258-8.
After further delays, de Kock was the ninth man out 10 runs short of his fourth test century. He was trapped lbw by New Zealand’s South Africa-born fast bowler Neil Wagner and his review failed to overturn the umpire’s decision.
De Kock suffered ligament damage to his right index finger during the second test at Wellington, in which he scored 91 as South Africa won by eight wickets. He played Sunday in almost constant pain but said this was no impediment to his batting.
Rabada scored 34 from 31 balls and was the last man out, but his contribution swelled South Africa’s total after it was 249-8. New Zealand reduced the lead to 247 by stumps.
