That was an ill advised adrenaline shot by Hope, chasing a ball way out off-stump clipping his glove…
New Zealand vs West Indies, 1st Test [5.00 pm]
Day 2: 2nd Session
WI 106/3 (45) CRR:2.36
West Indies trail by 125 runs
Roston Chase 0(7)
Tagenarine Chanderpaul 39(124)
46.1
Matt Henry to Roston Chase, out Caught by Latham!! Henrty is back and he's back with a wicket - lovely delivery this - on a good length and straightens off the seam, the length makes Roston Chase play and all he manages is a thin edge through to the keeper. No need to challenge the onfield call and the West Indies captain trudges off in disappointment.
Roston Chase c Latham b Matt Henry 0(![]()
WI 106 /4 (46.1) CRR:2.3
Justin Greaves, right handed bat, comes to the crease
46.2
Matt Henry to Justin Greaves, no run
46.4
Matt Henry to Justin Greaves, out Caught by Latham!! There's another wicket and West Indies continue to slide - a loose drive and Greaves has nicked it off to the keeper. Pitched up and swinging away from a length, Greaves could've let it go, but he's sucked into an ambitious drive, gets a thick edge and the keeper does the rest.
Justin Greaves c Latham b Matt Henry 0(3)
Tevin Imlach, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Matt Henry to Tevin Imlach, no run
@Narper
Here comes the usual collapse, one good partnership undone by no footwork.
@Windiesfan78
By now the management should have learnt how to stop a slide....now is when the mentors are needed in real time
48.5
Matt Henry to Tevin Imlach, 2 runs, tad too full from Henry, it's a half-volley and it's punched back past the bowler - chase for mid-off and he's back for the second
@Narper
Telling me, not to mention our weakness when handling spin. Someone needs to put their hand up and get the team as close to NZ's score as possible
I told you that the team weakness is the batting yet stupid Sammy play a batsman short and an extra bowler.
Chase should not and Must not bat higher than 6 ( he is a bit and pieces player )
A place should have found for Hodge .He is a gritty stubborn Test batsman.
Last 10 overs: 15 runs, 3 wkts

Foulkes to Chanderpaul, 2 runs, on a length and angling into the pads, nudged backward of square on the on-side and Chanderpaul is back for the second
51.4

Foulkes to Chanderpaul, FOUR, short, wide and four, a rare loose ball from Foulkes - width on offer and Chanderpaul breaks the shackles with a cracking cut, places it square past point and doesn't need to run
