William ORourke to Emilio Gay, out Caught by Blundell!! That's a fine review by NZ. They heard a certain sound, and Latham reviewed it. Wasn't sure, but he took a chance. NZ have dismissed the opener. Was a short and quick ball outside off, and Emilio Gay tried to sway away. The ball kisses the splice of his bat and flies straight to the keeper. Blundell wasn't sure of the nick, but Latham and the bowler were. Emilio Gay walks back after playing a good knock. Not great technique while leaving this ball though.
