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

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]
