Santner to Klaasen, out Caught by Matt Henry!! Santner is pulling this match New Zealand's way, but looks like Matt Henry has injured himself after completing the catch. Landed heavily on his right shoulder and is in obvious pain. Klaasen falls and the match is slipping away from South Africa's grasp. Was a fraction short and Klaasen backed himself on his favourite pull, but he doesn't get hold of the shot, went off the bottom of the bat and skewed down towards long-on - Henry ran in, slid forward and completed the catch, but he tumbled onto the the turf and hurt his shoulder quite badly.
