New Zealand vs West Indies, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Jacob Duffy to Ojay Shields, out Caught by Williamson!! Straight to Williamson. He takes the reverse cup, tosses the ball back towards the umpire and rushes back to the dressing room. It was a full and wide ball from Jacob Duffy - proper teaser - Ojay Shields drives sans any feet and edges it to third slip. Ojay Shields c Williamson b Jacob Duffy 0(6)

Michael Rae to Jayden Seales, out Anderson Phillip Run Out!! Anderson Phillip is out. Was a long way out of the crease. Excellent presence of mind from the sub fielder Clarke. Seales pushed this towards backward point and there was an air of hesitation for a quick single. Seales took a few steps down the pitch and that prompted his partner to run more than halfway down the pitch. By the time he turned back, it was too late. The fielder at backward point looked to hit direct at the bowling end and missed, the back up fielder from mid-on put in a full length dive, collected the ball with both hands and under-armed it onto the stumps. Way short. Anderson Phillip run out (Conway/(sub)Kristian Clarke) 5(50)

Jacob Duffy to Jayden Seales, leg byes, 1 run, 134ks fullish on leg stump, Seales misses the flick. Past the inside edge and hits him on the front pad before rolling to square leg

Phillips to Tevin Imlach, out Bowled!! Absolute ripper - That is what Glenn Phillips is going to say now and forever. Drifts in from a length, turns in and hits the top of off. Imlach leant forward and ended up playing down the wrong line. Past the outside edge and hits the timber. Tevin Imlach b Phillips 16(31) [4s-2]

Michael Rae to Tevin Imlach, FOUR, Imlach goes after this short-pitched ball with a pull shot and gets a top-edge that goes very fine to the fine leg fence

Michael Rae to Tevin Imlach, 1 run, dropped! banged in short by Rae, Tevin Imlach plays a half-hearted shot. Hafl-flick, half-pull and almost holes out as he fails to generate enough power behind it. Tickner runs in from deep backward square leg and dives forward but the ball doesn't stick. Tough chance

Tickner to Anderson Phillip, no run, 134.6kph, lbw appeal, not given by umpire Paul Reiffel and New Zealand have reviewed. Seems to be missing leg with the angle. Anderson Phillip's bat comes down at an angle as he looks to push this in-angling good length ball towards the mid-on region. UltraEdge confirms no inside edge and ball-tracking shows it to be missing leg. New Zealand burn a review. After a successful review in the previous over, they took a gamble with WI seven down and that's missing leg by a fair margin

Michael Rae to Roach, out Lbw!! Confident appeal for lbw, not given by umpire Paul Reiffel and New Zealand send it upstairs. Roach stays back and shuffles across to block this length ball angling in. Gets beaten on the inside edge to get hit on the front pad just above the knee-roll. Over to ball-tracking and it's hitting the top of middle - three reds. Successful review and Roach is gone for a duck. Debutant Rae has removed Greaves and Roach in quick succession. Roach lbw b Michael Rae 0(2)

Michael Rae to Justin Greaves, out Caught by Mitchell Hay!! Edged and caught! Rae is rightly elated as the double-centurion from the previous Test has been dismissed. 132.6kph, short of length ball that nibbles away slightly around the fifth-sixth stump zone. Greaves pokes and is too late to pull his bat inside the line. A faint outside edge and Mitchell Hay - the keeper - pouches it cleanly. Justin Greaves c Mitchell Hay b Michael Rae 13(52) [4s-1]

Michael Rae to Tevin Imlach, FOUR, Tevin Imlach gets off the mark with a boundary. Short and just down leg, a hopping Imlach glances it fine to send it to the fine leg fence

Tickner to Roston Chase, out Bowled!! Fourth wicket for Tickner! He jumps and punches the air in delight. 133.6kph, short of length ball that further comes in off the deck. The ball doesn't bounce as much as the batsman expects it to and he's deceived by the inward movement as well. Chase stands tall to push it into the off-side and he ends up dragging it onto the stumps via an inside edge. West Indies have now lost half their side. Roston Chase b Tickner 29(69) [4s-2]

Michael Rae to Justin Greaves, FOUR, thumped! 135.4ks short and wide outside off, Greaves says thank you very much and slaps it in front of square. His eyes lit up on seeing the width and he does not hold back on the cross-batted shot

Phillips to Roston Chase, FOUR, smashed! Flighted outside off, Chase kneels down and fetches the sweep, nails it in front of square and beats the fielder in the deep

Phillips to Roston Chase, FOUR, shot! Chase has tried to be positive against Phillips. This is a floated up delivery, Chase sits down to take it on the full and belts the sweep backward of square. No one out in the deep there to stop the boundary

Tickner to Shai Hope, out Caught by Williamson!! Third wicket for Tickner. He not only gets the set batter but also West Indies' most in-form batter. This is a snorter. Was it a set up? Offered Hope a half volley the previous delivery and follows it up with a well-directed short ball, Hope does not see it coming and has nowhere to go, fends it by ducking and taking his eyes off, the ball hits the glove and lobs towards the slip cordon where Williamson takes a dolly. Tickner has persisted with the short stuff right through this spell and finally has his reward. Shai Hope c Williamson b Tickner 47(80) [4s-8]

Tickner to Shai Hope, FOUR, lovely shot! Tickner overcorrects his length after the previous delivery and offers a half volley, Hope does not try to overhit the drive - presents the full face of the bat and creams it straight of mid-off. No need to run for that..

Jacob Duffy to Shai Hope, FOUR, shot! There were shouts of "catch" but it was nowhere close to the fielder. Fullish delivery around off, Hope drives with a closed bat face and sends it racing past Chase. It was uppish but Hope had played it pretty straight

Michael Rae to Shai Hope, FOUR, overpitched on off stump at 134ks, Hope drives crisply and gets it in the gap through extra cover. Hits the adjacent pitch and runs away to the fence...

Michael Rae to Shai Hope, FOUR, that should make him feel better! 133ks smidgen fuller on off, Hope shows full face of the bat and the timing on the shot takes care of the rest. Mid-on had no chance to his left...

Michael Rae to Shai Hope, FOUR, crunched! 139ks sits up in the channel outside off, Hope pings the punchy drive off the meat of the bat and sends it racing through backward point to his right

Michael Rae to Roston Chase, 1 run, inside edge once again! On and around off at 141ks, Chase gets off the mark with a tentative push to square leg

Foulkes to Shai Hope, FOUR, dug in short and Hope has all the time in the world to swivel back and control the pull to the right of the fielder at square leg

Michael Rae to John Campbell, out Caught by Mitchell!! Oh boy! Michael Rae is chuffed to bits. John Campbell hit him for 3 boundaries in an over before lunch and no wonder he is thrilled. It's his maiden wicket in international cricket as well. The plan to bowl from round the wicket certainly worked. Pushes it full at 135ks just outside off, Campbell leans across on the drive and plays with hard hands. A thick outside edge and it carries low to first slip where Mitchell takes a fine sliding catch to his right. John Campbell c Mitchell b Michael Rae 44(87) [4s-6]

Jacob Duffy to Shai Hope, FOUR, 138.2kph, short ball outside off and Hope puts it away with disdain. Stands tall, fetches it from outside off and hammers the pull between mid-on and midwicket for the ball to bullet away to the fence

Michael Rae to John Campbell, FOUR, 136.9kph, overpitched wide outside off, Campbell leans across with a bent back leg and flashes his bat hard for a drive. Thick outside edge and it flies over and wide of the gully fielder. Rae has his hands on head

Michael Rae to John Campbell, FOUR, Rae goes wider but perists with the same length. Campbell gets forward and reaches for it, opens the bat-face plays a very good square drive behind square on the off-side. No need to run for that

Michael Rae to John Campbell, FOUR, Rae overpitches outside off and Campbell plays a sumptuous drive through extra cover off the front foot

Tickner to Shai Hope, FOUR, 133.5kph, Shai Hope gets off the mark with a good shot. Good length ball and Shai Hope is half-forward to play a punchy drive on the rise through extra cover

Tickner to Kavem Hodge, out Lbw!! 133.2kph, slightly fuller, pinned on the back leg adjacent to the sticks, up goes the dreaded finger. Kavem Hodge turns around and walks back. He knows that it's plumb. Scrambled seam delivery that lands on a good length and seams in. Hodge is half-forward to defend and the ball sneaks past the inside edge to hit the back leg. That's crashing into the middle-stump. Second wicket for Tickner as Hodge departs for a duck. Kavem Hodge lbw b Tickner 0(8)

Tickner to Brandon King, out Lbw!! Appeal for lbw and up goes umpire Allahudien Paleker's finger. King reviews it quickly. 137kph, nip-backer on a short of length from Tickner, King is rooted in his crease and gets beaten on the inside edge as he looks to defend it. Didn't account for the inward movement. Struck just above the knee-roll in front of the stumps. Over to ball-tracking and it's clipping the top of leg - umpire's call. After a wicketless hour, New Zealand get the breakthrough. It was a confident and a vociferous appeal from New Zealand. They needed the onfield call in their favour and they got that. Brandon King lbw b Tickner 33(55) [4s-5 6s-1]

Michael Rae to Brandon King, FOUR, back of a length outside off, Kings waits on the back foot and beautifully cuts it behind square on the off-side. Nice timing and the ball is quick to reach the fence

Michael Rae to Brandon King, SIX, this is better and bigger. Another short of length delivery and King latches on, rocks back and nails the pull over mid-wicket, struck that flat and all the way over the rope. Pressure on the debutant straightaway..

Michael Rae to Brandon King, FOUR, 129.5ks short of length delivery and King is quick to pounce, swivels and pulls it through mid-wicket. Not off the middle but the ball races away to the fence

Jacob Duffy to John Campbell, no run, dropped! Tough chance and Latham has put it down. Full pitcher angled across, Campbell's eyes lit up on seeing the length and goes for the expansive drive, the outside edge goes low to second slip and Latham dives to his right with one hand, the ball hits him around the wrists and goes to ground. He scoops it up but the ball had touched the grass by then

Jacob Duffy to Brandon King, no run, edged and safe! Thick outside edge and the ball does not carry to Latham. Good length ball in the channel, King is rooted to the crease and pushes his hands out to defend, the ball straightens to catch the edge but lands short of second slip

Jacob Duffy to Brandon King, FOUR, lovely shot! Duffy goes wide of the crease and searches for the inswinger, overcooks the full delivery and there's no swing, King presents the full face of the bat and creams the drive straight of mid-off

Foulkes to John Campbell, no run, that would have been a gift. Hesitation between the two batters and Campbell somehow survives. Full pitcher close to off, Campbell pushes it down the wicket and Foulkes dives to his left to parry it wide of mid-on. Campbell wanted the single and was halfway down, King started to go but aborted, Tickner swoops down and sends a direct hit at the striker's end but Campbell had made it back in

Foulkes to John Campbell, FOUR, smashed! Another not so short delivery which Campbell pounces on, back of a length and he is quick to bring out the pull, hits it over mid-on and picks up another boundary

Foulkes to John Campbell, FOUR, this is a flying start by West Indies. Not all that short - back of a length and angled in, Campbell brings out the pull and rolls his wrists over to play it along the ground through square leg

Foulkes to John Campbell, FOUR, lovely shot! That's a confidence boosting shot. Fullish delivery, it is there for the drive but have to be careful with the movement, Campbell presses forward and creams it through extra cover

Jacob Duffy to Brandon King, FOUR, just past Williamson's dive. Edged and four! That's the perfect line and length. Not too full nor too short, inbetween length and King is neither forward nor back, looks to defend and gets a thick outside edge - right between third slip and gully

Foulkes to Brandon King, FOUR, shot! That should get him going. Full pitcher outside off, King has a good stride across to negate for the movement and then caresses the drive through the vacant cover region
