Hodge gets his half century! Well played!

West Indies 206-2 at lunch.

Hodge 53*

Imlach 27*

Overall, a pretty good session for the tourists despite the early loss of both openers who were set overnight. Campbell failed to add to his overnight 45 and was first to fall, gifting his wicket with a lack of footwork. The well set Brandon King played some fantastic shots but was bowled off his pads by Duffy - a ball King would have expected to put away for runs. That second wicket fell with the score on 140 but since then, Kavem Hodge and Tevin Imlach have batted well and remain not out at lunch with the West Indies 206/2. Hodge is 53* (89 balls, 9 fours) and Imlach is 27* (59 balls, 2 fours, 1 six)

I find that we lose concentration at breaks. It has been a very poor part of our game as we lack the mentality to restart after a break. Campbell at the start of the day's play is an example.

@mikesiva

I am happy for him.

I know we the fans treat them as though they are super human but each opportunity like most humans does bring the nerves...even the greats will tell you...they were nervous for the first few balls every innings.

He did well...but that 369 deficit says...JOB not done yet.

It’s time for both Imlach and Hodge to contribute…

@Cricket_101

Imlach...is still Green...was worked out like a crossword puzzle just now.

Most of the lads need to learn patience and understand that we are batting to survive here....

Ray for some reason makes too many of the lads look silly.

Michael Rae to Tevin Imlach, out Caught by Blundell!! A lapse in concentration for Tevin Imlach and he pays the price for it! Michael Rae is pumped up! 134.1kph fuller length delivery outside off, inviting Tevin Imlach into an expansive drive and he obliges. There's some extra lift off the surface though and a healthy outside edge is induced. Blundell takes a regulation catch. Two maidens on the trot after lunch has helped NZ's cause as they break through.

Ajaz Patel to Athanaze, FOUR, nicely done! On the shorter side outside off, Athanaze rocks back and cuts it through backward point. The fielder in the deep moves to his right but has no chance to stop it

Ajaz Patel to Athanaze, FOUR,  tossed up full delivery outside off, keeps low, Athanaze goes for an expansive drive but gets an outside edge. Blundell crouches but hardly has time to react. It goes through his legs and races to the fence behind
