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

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.
