New Zealand vs West Indies, 3rd Test, West Indies tour of New Zealand, 2025 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kavem Hodge to Latham, out Caught by Jayden Seales!! That's special from Seales! A testimony to his athletic abilities. Latham uses his feet, gets too close to the pitch of it and heaves it towards deep mid-wicket. Seales sprints to his right, keeps his eyes on the ball and dives to take it both-handed before tumbling down. His catch of Conway revealed his game awareness and this one displayed his athleticism. A brilliant knock from Latham nonetheless. Latham c Jayden Seales b Kavem Hodge 101(130) [4s-9 6s-2]
