A back of a length delivery outside off, takes off a bit after pitching and also straightens a bit perhaps, Phillips tries to force it through covers with minimal foot movement but only manages to get a thick outside edge towards first slip.

146.4
F
Anderson Phillip to Ravindra, 2 runs, shortish delivery angling in towards middle and leg, Ravindra pulls it to the right of deep backward square leg. A couple results. Ravindra brings up his fifty with that. It has been a good knock so far from the southpaw

134.2
4
Jayden Seales to Phillips, FOUR, the edge goes between first and second slip! Don't think it carried. Good length around off, nips away as Phillips looks to defend and the edge is found high on the bat. It dies to the left of second slip as he dives across and fails to get a hand on it
132.5
W
Jayden Seales to Blundell, out Caught by Tevin Imlach!! Edged and gone! Seales is absolutely delighted. He leaps and lets out multiple roars. Should've had the wicket of Mitchell earlier but was denied by a dropped catch but not this time. It's not a particularly great delivery, there's plenty of width outside off and Blundell goes hard on the cut. But the ball kicks up sharply off the pitch to take the edge through to the keeper. Blundell c Tevin Imlach b Jayden Seales 4(14)
129.2
W
Roston Chase to Mitchell, out Caught by Tevin Imlach!! Strangled down the leg-side and Mitchell can't believe it. He looks so frustrated as he walks off. Length ball turning down leg, there's some extra bounce and it takes the glove on the way to the keeper as he tries glancing it away. It pops out the first time but the keeper takes it safely on the second attempt. Mitchell c Tevin Imlach b Roston Chase 11(30) [6s-1]
126.2
Jayden Seales to Mitchell, no run, agony for Seales. Finds a genuine edge, it carries nicely to second slip but down it goes! Perfect length ball, Mitchell is tentative in defence on the crease and it straightens a touch for the edge. He would've loved that wicket after being smoked down the ground for six in his previous over but not to be as Greaves shells the chance
125.2
4
Roston Chase to Ravindra, FOUR, goes back and nails the pull through midwicket. Wasn't all that short but Ravindra still times it so well and gets it off the middle
124.4
6
Jayden Seales to Mitchell, SIX, clears the front leg and bang! Is that a sign of how he's going to go about it? Pitched up in the slot, Mitchell gets under it and whacks it back into the sightscreen
121.1
4
Roston Chase to Ravindra, FOUR, slow and loopy outside off, too full and Ravindra slaps it away through extra cover
121
W
Justin Greaves to Conway, out Lbw!! That's right in front and Conway finally has to go. West Indies players shake hands with him as he walks off without taking a review. Knew he was out. It nipped in from round the wicket, stayed a touch low and struck him on the back pad as he was caught in the crease in defence. Plumb in front. He gets a big applause from the crowd and his teammates on the way back. Conway lbw b Justin Greaves 227(367) [4s-31]
114.1
W
Justin Greaves to Williamson, out Caught by Tevin Imlach!! The bowling change has done the trick! Justin Greaves is pumped up! A wicket against the run of play. On a driveable length outside off and swinging away, Williamson is lured into an expansive drive through covers and goes for it with hard hands. Ends up getting an outside edge and Tevin Imlach takes a regulation catch behind the stumps. Perhaps a lapse in concentration from Williamson and he pays the price for it. Williamson c Tevin Imlach b Justin Greaves 31(60) [4s-5]
112.4
4
Anderson Phillip to Williamson, FOUR, easy pickings again! A length delivery angling down leg, Williamson tucks it past the left side of the keeper and picks up back-to-back boundaries. Fatigue seems to be setting in for the visitors
112.3
4
Anderson Phillip to Williamson, FOUR, poor delivery and duly punished! A shortish delivery angling down leg, Williamson moves inside the line and helps the hook to the fine leg fence. Williamson is too good a player to miss out on those
111.2
4
Roston Chase to Williamson, FOUR, smartly played! Full delivery drifting in on off, Williamson switches his stance and reverse sweeps it nicely through backward point to pick up a boundary. We don't often see KW play that stroke. He executed it nicely
111
Anderson Phillip to Conway, 2 runs, another half-volley on off, Conway drives it crisply back to Anderson Phillip. He gets a hand to it to take the pace off the ball and it rolls towards long-off. The fielder chases it down and keeps the batters down to a couple. 400 up for NZ
110.2
4
Anderson Phillip to Conway, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries! Glorious from Conway! Pitched up outside off and room on offer, Conway reaches out and essays a lovely cover drive to find the fence again

4
Anderson Phillip to Conway, FOUR, nicely played! A half-volley around off, Conway leans towards it and on-drives it with good timing to pick up another boundary
105.4
Roston Chase to Conway, 1 run, dropped! Roston Chase is not pleased one bit! A tossed up delivery around off, Conway leans ahead and is not quite to the pitch of it. He can't control the drive and it flies to short cover. Hodge is a bit late to react. He then leaps to his right but only manages to get his fingertips to it. He needed to do better than that. That was a reflex chance but those need to be grabbed especially with the visitors lagging so much behind in the game
105
4
Justin Greaves to Conway, FOUR, gorgeous stroke! Slightly overpitched outside off, Conway leans into it and caresses the drive through covers to get the desired result. All grace and timing on this occasion

101.4
H
Jayden Seales to Conway, FOUR, double century for Conway! It has been an innings of character, patience and has been filled with lovely strokes throughout! He takes his helmet off, has his arms aloft, raises his bat and soaks in all the applause. He gets a standing ovation from his mates in the dressing room. He gets a big hug from Williamson. Conway announced himself with a double century in his debut Test four years back. He will be overjoyed to bring up his second Test double ton today. Was a back of a length delivery outside off, Conway rode the bounce well and steered it past gully to find the fence
101.2
4
Jayden Seales to Conway, FOUR, oh, that one really took off! Conway is lucky there. This one shoots off the deck from a back of a length on off and climbs on Conway. He hops and fends at it and it deflects off his top glove and flies over the slip cordon. This could have gone anywhere. He had taken his eyes off the ball and luckily for him, it flew away
100.2
4
Justin Greaves to Williamson, FOUR, shot! First boundary for Williamson! A shortish delivery outside off, sits up nicely for Williamson. He gets into a good position and pulls it nicely over mid-wicket to find the fence

A fuller length delivery on off, shaping in initially but after pitching, it seams away. Jacob Duffy pushes at it tentatively with minimal foot movement and nicks it behind. Tevin Imlach pouches it safely. Jacob Duffy c Tevin Imlach b Jayden Seales 17(25) [4s-3]
93.3
Jayden Seales to Conway, 1 run, hard length delivery outside off, Conway hops and dabs it through backward point. 350 up for NZ
93
4
Anderson Phillip to Jacob Duffy, FOUR, just wide of second slip this time! On a driveable length outside off, Jacob Duffy takes the bait and goes for an expansive drive but gets a thick outside edge. The fielder dives to his right but it evades him. It should have gone straight into the hands of third slip if he was present
92
4
Jayden Seales to Jacob Duffy, FOUR, shortish delivery and some room on offer, Jacob Duffy slashes hard at it and it flies off the outer half through the vacant backward point region and races away to the fence

86.4
W
Roach to Latham, out Caught by Roston Chase!! West Indies finally get the breakthrough! 128.1kph, lovely delivery from Roach. Seam-up ball from round the wicket on a fullish length and the batter pushes at it without getting fully forward. The ball straightens a bit off the deck and catches the outside edge. Chase, at first slip, dives low to his left and takes a sharp catch. Goes with both hands but snaffles with his left hand just above the turf. Chase throws the ball up in the air while Roach punches the air. Late in the day, something to cheer for the visitors. End of a fine knock from the New Zealand captain.

82.3

78.1
Justin Greaves to Latham, no run, little bit of excitement. Almost in the blockhole, Latham flicks and gets an inside edge onto his pads. Late call from West Indies to review it. Clear inside edge and UltraEdge confirms the same. West Indies burn a review
75.5

Anderson Phillip to Latham, no run, dropped! Would you believe it! West Indies get a rare opportunity after all this time, and the keeper has failed to hang on.
