NZ vs SA, 1st Test Day 3, Highlights: New Zealand comprehensively beat South Africa by an innings and 276 runs in the first Test, which finished early on the third day in Christchurch on Saturday. Tim Southee took five wickets to topple South Africa, who were 387 behind after their first innings, dismissing the visitors for 111. This was only New Zealand's first victory over South Africa in Test cricket since 2004. A frustrated Proteas captain Dean Elgar could not explain the drop off in performance since South Africa won a series against India last month. "It's something I'm trying to wrap my head around," he said. "But I do feel our intensity was lacking during the last two and a bit days. "We were totally outplayed by a classy New Zealand outfit. "It's extremely frustrating being the captain and the ball is being hit (by New Zealand) on both sides of the wicket. You can't set a field for that." (SCORECARD)
