Hamilton: Matt Henry and Colin de Grandhomme claimed two wickets apiece as New Zealand made early inroads against South Africa in the third Test before rain curtailed play. South Africa were in trouble at five for two before a partnership of 59 between Hashim Amla and JP Duminy steadied the ship.

Amla went on to record his 32nd Test half-century but fell soon after and with the tourists on 123 for four.
