De Kock showed sparkling strokeplay in a brisk 82 as he and Stephen Cook became the first opening pair to feature in a 100-run partnership for South Africa since December 2013. Cook scored 56, Hashim Amla 58 and JP Duminy was 67 not out at the close along with captain Faf du Plessis (13). Cook went 20 runs later, taken in the gully by New Zealand captain Kane Williamson's low catch off the bowling of Doug Bracewell. Duminy was given out lbw when he was on 44 but stayed after successfully reviewing the decision. New Zealand won the toss and sent South Africa into bat on surface that did not provide the bowlers with expected assistance.
