South Africa vs New Zealand 2017: 3rd Test, Day 4, 5 Talking Points

#3 de Grandhomme rocks South Africa

de Grandhomme smacked a quick half-century to aid New Zealand's cause

New Zealand had lost their set batsmen by tea and needed de Grandhomme and Watling to score some quick runs and set up a declaration. The burly all-rounder went about his business in style playing some attractive strokes to race to a maiden half-century.

While Watling was patient and focussed on staying in the middle, de Grandhomme went in search of some quick runs and found them. When Duminy came into the attack, the all-rounder was quick to deposit him twice over the fence.

After taking New Zealand to sizeable lead, he returned with the new ball to grab the big wicket of Dean Elgar, who nicked a good length delivery to the keeper.
