DUNEDIN -- The first cricket test between New Zealand and South Africa was evenly poised after an eventful second day Thursday. When stumps were drawn, New Zealand was 177-3, trailing South Africa by 131 runs after the tourists were bowled out for 308 following a lower order batting collapse. Wagner, who was born in South Africa and frequently played against Elgar in high school matches, dismissed Elgar with a short ball that caught the edge and flew to New Zealand wicketkeeper B.J. "I thought South Africa batted well yesterday and batted well this morning again, but as bowlers, we stuck at it and kept fighting. South Africa made a strong start with the ball in hand when Vernon Philander dismissed New Zealand opener Tom Latham for 10 in a superb opening spell but Williamson and Raval then dug in to rebuild the New Zealand innings.
