Ravi Bishnoi to Seifert, 1 run, Seifert brings up his first fifty of the series. He’s shown flashes with quick starts earlier, but tonight he’s turned promise into substance.

He gets there off just 25 deliveries, striking at a blistering 200. If this rhythm continues, New Zealand are staring at a formidable first-innings total tonight. Was a flatter delivery that was slapped towards mid-off by the opener
