Gerald Coetzee to James Neesham, out Caught by Connor Esterhuizen!! Edged and caught! Was a full ball that's pushed across the left-hander, Neesham had backed away and then had to reach out for the drive. A 145kmph delivery and he's only managed a thick edge through to the keeper. A simple catch for Connor Esterhuizen and New Zealand have lost their 6th wicket. James Neesham c Connor Esterhuizen b Gerald Coetzee 8(11)
