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

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]
