3rd over: New Zealand 20-0 (Guptill 17, Seiftert 3) Shot from Martin Guptill! Jhye Richardson comes on with pace and Guptill smokes him for six. Richardson is bowling in at the stumps and Guptill just shuffles a touch before the ball arrives, half a pace down the wicket, which turns the ball into a half-volley. A simple swing through the line and it vanishes over long-off! What a strike. A couple of balls later Richardson tries the same line but fuller, and this time Guptill stays home and chips it over the bowler’s head for four. He looks good when he’s on.
2nd over: New Zealand 8-0 (Guptill 6, Seiftert 2) Ashton Agar the other opening bowler, left-armers from both ends. Orthodox spin in theory from Agar though he doesn’t try to flight or turn one. Just bangs in some straight darts from around the wicket, wide line, in at the legs. And it works, the batsmen only get two singles from the over.
