WATCH | Black Caps opener takes one of Test cricket's greatest catches to dismiss Marco Jansen

Highlights were few and and far between for New Zealand on Day 4 of the second Test against South Africa in Christchurch, but Will Young at least gave the hosts something to cheer.

SCORECARD | NZ v SA, 2nd Test

Young's stunning catch at deep midwicket to dismiss South Africa's Marco Jansen will go down as one of the best catches in Test cricket history.

The opening batsman clung onto a skier that Jansen had clubbed off Colin de Grandhomme, scurrying around the boundary, catching the ball with one hand while ensuring he didn't touch the boundary rope.

Jansen's departure left the Proteas on 219/7 but a rearguard from Kyle Verreynne (136*) and Kagiso Rabada (47) saw the visitors reach 354/9, setting the Kiwis a massive 426-run target.

Young couldn't follow up his fielding heroics with the bat as he was dismissed by Rabada for a duck, with New Zealand finishing the day on 94/4.
