If it was not enough to dismiss the Conway, Dwarish deepened the New Zealand crisis with its next delivery. It was a skipper to face him Mark chapmanWhich went under immense pressure. However, the left -handed player could not get off the mark and departed for a Golden Duck.
Dwarshuis delivered a good length that fell slightly down towards the leg. Chapman tried to fix it, but only one of the wicketkeeper Alex Kerry worked to be unconscious. Initially, neither the bowler nor the keeper were completely convinced, but Marsh decided to challenge the on-field call. The review was spot-on as Ultrarades confirmed Nick, shocked Chapman and re-moved to New Zealand 6/3.
