First runs, then wickets, and finally catches came Mitchell Santner's way, as the Kiwi all-rounder stamped his mark on the Black Caps' first Test against England in Mount Maunganui.
Making his maiden Test century in New Zealand's first innings, Santner backed up his efforts with the ball late on day four, taking 3/6 to leave England teetering.
Santner would continue his all-round heroics on day five, taking a stunner to remove Ollie Pope.
As Neil Wagner came around the wicket to Pope, giving him a low full-toss outside off stump, the England batsman would have thought he had a boundary.
He was wrong. Santner flew through the air to take the catch with his right hand, sending Pope on his way.
England ended the second session at 161/8 in their second innings, still needing 101 runs just to make the Black Caps bat again.
