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

Ajaz Patel to Shai Hope, out Lbw!! Latham challenges the decision with just one second left on the timer! Looks like it's worth a go. Was a full in-drifter outside off, Shai Hope planted his front foot across a bit and took it on his front toe. There's no shot offered so impact doesn't come into question. That looks close in fact. Ball-tracking is taking some time to load - it finally comes into play and it returns three reds. It would have crashed into the off-stump. The Kiwis are jubilant! Shai Hope meanwhile shakes his head and has a wry smile on his face. He was trying to block out everything and went into his shell. Finally, his over-cautious approach has led to his dismissal. NZ are just three wickets away now. The round the wicket angle from Ajaz Patel has worked for him. Shai Hope lbw b Ajaz Patel 3(78)
