South Africa lost two wickets after tea but pushed their lead over New Zealand to 211 runs by the close of day three to leave the second test delicately poised in Christchurch on Sunday.
Fiery Black Caps paceman Neil Wagner had Rassie van der Dussen caught and bowled for 45, and Temba Bavuma caught in close for 23 at Hagley Oval, but South Africa dug in to be 140 for five at stumps in their second innings.
A Colin de Grandhomme century pushed New Zealand to 293 in reply to the Proteas' first innings 364, before the hosts' seamers scythed through their top order to restrict them to 42 for three at tea. The pair came together with their team in peril at 91 for five on day two. Spinner Keshav Maharaj finally broke their partnership by trapping Mitchell lbw for 60.
De Grandhomme, who scored 45 in the first test, has made the most of his recall after missing out on selection for the India tour in late 2021 and the home series against Bangladesh.
