Watch: The perfect Matt Henry yorker that came out of nowhere to clean up Aiden Markram

by Wisden Staff 3 minute read

Watch: New Zealand’s Matt Henry produced a peach of a delivery to get rid of South Africa’s number three, Aiden Markram during the second and final Test of the series between the two sides.

After taking a 71-run lead over the Black Caps after the first innings, South Africa lost a couple of quick wickets early in their second. Markram and Rassie van der Dussen tried to steady their ship but the former soon became the victim of a trap masterfully set up by Henry.

During the 17th over of the innings, Henry kept bowling outside the off stump. The third ball of the over managed to induce an edge from Markram, which ran down for four through the vacant third man position.

However off the final delivery, Henry changed his mode of attack. He bowled a full yorker that honed in on middle and leg-stump. The ball hit Markram’s boot before crashing into the stumps.
