Beware the perils of trying to advance a cricket test too quickly

Kane Williamson has issued the missive as South Africa start the third day of the first match at Mount Maunganui on 80 for four, replying to New Zealand's 511.

Williamson finished on 118 but Rachin Ravindra top-scored with 240 during the innings.

The Black Caps number three describes the discipline required.



Proteas captain Neil Brand has outlined where his faith lies.



Left-arm spinner Brand finished with figures of six for 119 from 26 overs, benefiting from the hosts losing their last five wickets for 38 runs.
