Over 9 Done: Dramatic Finish to the Over! Santner Scampers for Three
What a chaotic over from Varun Chakaravarthy! On the final delivery, Mitchell Santner plays a delicate sweep shot. It doesn't have the power to reach the rope, but the placement is perfect. With the fielders deep, the Kiwi pair shows great urgency, pushing hard to complete three runs before the throw comes in. Despite losing the set Seifert on the first ball, New Zealand manages to milk 11 runs from the over to reach 83.
