Henry was sent in as a replacement for Boult, but he put up a spectacular bowling performance with a 7/23. He was unyielding in his lines, forcing hitters to play and moving the ball both ways with swing and seam movement.

He bowled a number of unplayable balls and ended up with the third greatest Test stats in an innings in New Zealand history.

“When you play the occasional game, it’s not always going to go in your favor.” You’d hope you’re bowling first when you get up and see the overheads here at Hagley.” After Tom Latham won the toss and chose to field, Henry and his bowling teammates put South Africa to the sword in the first session.

By lunchtime, they were down to 44 for four as their top-order had no answer for New Zealand’s unrelenting attack. Henry, along with fellow pacemen Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson, generated a lot of movement in the air and bounce off the ball, consistently hitting their line and length and earning a lot of money. The wicketkeeper or the slips cordon caught the first four wickets.
