All in all, a 7 off of one legal ball. I can't say in all my time I've ever seen that happen before at this level.
Imagine being the bowler. Gets a catch dropped which goes for 3, only to be turned into a 7 AND having to field the ball off the rope yourself.
They've since just given another overthrow 4 away. The same opening bat had two scoring shots after lunch. A nick through slips for 7 and a quick dab into the mid wicket position for 5

There was one in Amazing Adelaide late in the day. Michael Clarke from memory. On drive, fielder met the rely at mid-on and pinged it to the keeper who missed it. Thing was, in a close, overs-wise, runchase it had been a maiden over up until then.

TDK how highly do you rate Conway?
Has an amazing FC record since moving to NZ & seems to be dominating at all international levels from limited matches. He is going to fly up the test batting ranking IMO.
