New Zealand vs West Indies, 1st Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jayden Seales to Foulkes, out Caught by Tevin Imlach!! It takes just three balls for Seales to get the final wicket - Foulkes has been given OUT caught behind, he's happy to go, but then decides to review - it's more in hope though as replay suggest a thin inside edge. UltraEdge confirms the same and New Zealand have been bowled out for 231. Short and angling down leg - Foulkes got inside the line on the flick and the ball brushed the inside edge on its way to the keeper. It was an audible edge and umpire Alex Wharf was quick to raise the finger. Foulkes c Tevin Imlach b Jayden Seales 4(16)

Roach to Jacob Duffy, FOUR, beautifully played, back of a length and just outside off - Duffy stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and punches it square on the off-side for a boundary

Roach to Matt Henry, out Caught by Jayden Seales!! That's the end of Matt Henry and West Indies have theior 9th wicket - banged in short and at the right-hander - Henry swivelled across and was through with the pull, didn't get anywhere near the middle of the bat and lobs a simple catch to Seales at deep square leg.

Ojay Shields to Matt Henry, FOUR, crisp, overpitched by Shields - Henry leans into the drive and caresses it into the gap wide of extra-cover, off the mark with a boundary

Ojay Shields to Michael Bracewell, out Caught by Chanderpaul!! Oh dear! That's a brainfade from Bracewell and he's tossed his wicket away - deep mid-wicket was set-up and he's fallen straight into the trap - good short ball from Shields, banged into the left-hander and was still climbing onto him, Bracewell took on the fielder with the pull, can't get on top of the bounce and hammers it straight down the throat of Chanderpaul. That dropped catch hasn't cost them a lot. Michael Bracewell c Chanderpaul b Ojay Shields 47(73) [4s-6]

Ojay Shields to Michael Bracewell, FOUR, thumped, gentle short ball from Shields - Bracewell picks the length early, swivels across and then hammers the pull over mid-wicket for a boundary

Nathan Smith c John Campbell b Roston Chase 23(61) [4s-3]

Johann Layne to Michael Bracewell, 1 run, edged, did it carry to 3rd slip? On a good length and in that channel just outside off, drew Bracewell ionto the drive and he did so with fairly hard hands, might've just bounced in front of the fielder

Ojay Shields to Blundell, out Bowled!! Huge strike. The debutant gets his maiden wicket. Fuller ball, swinging in, Blundell goes for the drive and gets an inside edge. The ball crashes into the sticks. The little discomfort before the over wouldn't have helped as well. NZ lose their set batter. The batter went for the drive but didn't really move his feet much. Blundell b Ojay Shields 29(39) [4s-2]

Johann Layne to Blundell, FOUR, lovely shot! Fractionally overpitched outside off, Blundell leans towards it and creams the drive through covers to get the desired result

Johann Layne to Will Young, out Caught by Justin Greaves!! Maiden Test wicket for Johann Layne! The youngster will cherish this one for a long time! Tentative from Will Young and he has paid the price for it! Good length delivery shaping in from outside off, Will Young is in two minds whether to play at it or leave it. There was some extra bounce as well. Will Young is late to withdraw his bat away and ends up getting a thick outside edge to second slip. Greaves gets low and pouches it safely. Will Young c Justin Greaves b Johann Layne 14(38) [4s-1]

He gets beaten on the outside edge and the ball crashes into the off-stump. Ravindra didn't move his feet much and paid the price. Good piece of bowling from Jayden Seales as well as he induced a false stroke from Ravindra. Ravindra b Jayden Seales 3(6)

Justin Greaves to Latham, out Caught by Tevin Imlach!! Justin Greaves strikes twice in quick succession and he is cock-a-hoop! Both the set batters are back in the hut now. Latham's gritty knock comes to an end. Justin Greaves keeps it nice and full around off, enticing Latham into an expansive drive and the southpaw obliges. He tries to drive it down the ground but the ball moves away to take the outside edge. A regulation take for Tevin Imlach. Latham was on the move and he wasn't quite balanced while he played that. Good channel bowling from Justin Greaves and he gets rewarded again. Latham c Tevin Imlach b Justin Greaves 24(85) [4s-2]

Justin Greaves to Williamson, out Caught by Athanaze!! There's the breakthrough West Indies were searching for! Sharp take from Athanaze in the slip cordon. Williamson was troubled earlier in the off-stump channel as well and this time he perishes. In the corridor of uncertainty, angling in initially but it straightens after landing to square Williamson up. He is caught in a tangle as he looks to keep it out but gets a thick outside edge behind. Athanaze at second slip gets low to his right and takes a good catch in front of him with both hands. There was also some extra bounce and Williamson couldn't handle it. Williamson c Athanaze b Justin Greaves 52(102) [4s-6]

Roach to Latham, 1 run, edged, and the ball falls just short of Hope at 4th slip, or has it carried? The reactions from the West Indians certainly says so - might've just bounced in front, fuller length delivery and shaping away from off, draws Latham into the drive and he did so with hard hands

Johann Layne to Williamson, FOUR, beautifully played, too full and too wide from Layne - KW leans into the drive and plays it on the rise, through the gap wide of cover-point - the ball slows down near the ropes, but it does beat the chasing fielder

Johann Layne to Williamson, FOUR, nicely played, first boundary of the Test - back of a length and well wide of off, KW gets on top of the bounce and then chops it late, behind square on the off-side for a boundary

Roach to Williamson, no run, West Indies review for a lbw! Looked high to the naked eye. Roach convinces Chase to take the review. Was a back of a length delivery that seamed in from off, Williamson hopped to keep it out but got beaten on the inside edge to get struck above the knee roll on the front pad. UltraEdge shows a flat line. Over to ball-tracking and it reveals that it is bouncing over the stumps. Not a wise review considering the extra bounce on offer on this surface

Roach to Conway, out Caught by Justin Greaves!! Poor poke outside off and the second slip has dived to his right to take it. Pitched up, nipped away with the seam and the batter pushed at it to pay the price. Roach has provided the early breakthrough. It hasn't taken him long. The seam was upright for the bowler, the ball kissed the surface and nipped away to take the edge. Conway could have left it but he played at that. Conway c Justin Greaves b Roach 0(2)
