Glenn Phillips’ catch
Glenn Phillips Catch: The New Zealand team is currently playing a test match against South Africa. During this time, a surprising catch by Glenn Phillips surprised everyone. Glenn Phillips is known for his excellent fielding. On the third day of the ongoing second Test between New Zealand and South Africa, he took a catch which is being discussed everywhere. Due to this catch, the Kiwi team made a strong comeback in the match.
In fact, the New Zealand team was in trouble due to the developing partnership between David Bedingham and Keegan Pietersen as both of them had added 98 runs for the fifth wicket and were trying well to gain the lead. But in the 60th over of the innings, Keegan Pietersen cut behind a length delivery off Matt Henry and made no effort to stop it. But Phillips, in the lane, flew to his left like a goalkeeper and caught the ball. It was an effort that even Phillips himself couldn’t believe, with Henry finally breaking the partnership that had been holding him back in the match.

New Zealand still away from victory
The South African team could not recover after this brilliant catch. Before this catch, South Africa had 4 wickets for 202 runs, but after this they were all out for 235 runs and lost their last six wickets for 33 runs. A lead of 31 runs in the first innings meant that the hosts had a target of 267 runs to win the second Test and take the series 2–0. However, it is not going to be easy for New Zealand as this is the biggest target in the fourth innings at Seddon Park in Hamilton. The Kiwis lost Devon Conway just before stumps. The day ended at 40/1 and they still needed 227 more runs to win.
