00:00wonderful side from up above we are ready for the start of the second test day one between

00:16new zealand and the western is here in wellington point fell a little bit earlier in favor of new

00:22zealand and they elected predictably to bowl first it is bright it is sunny but there is still a bit

00:31of wind at the west indies with a few changes with brandon king returning to the test match team

00:37kawem hodge fellow dominican and down the bottom anderson phillip comes in new zealand with quite

00:44a few changes themselves blair tickner who last played test cricket on this very ground is in

00:51the test team again michael ray will make his debut glenn phillips is back and we're all looking

00:57forward to see his power michael hey also makes it into the 11. at the top two jamaicans right and

01:07left-handed making their way to the middle no johan lane so anderson phillip returns to the test team

01:14and of course kabem hodge replacing alec aphanese

01:17and i just think the pitch here looks a little bit lighter in color

01:22and we're used to seeing in wellington we normally see much darker green for the first ball of the

01:27morning

01:41campbell off the mark he looks to the heavens

01:44and it will be zach folks from the r avance stand end

01:55he'll be encouraged by the look of that zach folks

02:15nice little confident booster for brandon king first boundary of the test match

02:20lovely way to get off the mark just eases that through the offside lovely balance weight through

02:28the shot

02:32it will be four inadvertently

02:33that was the prime length and line

02:44a little bit more oomph in that shot compared to the one in the last over but just as effective from

02:50john campbell

02:54second pull shot that he has played off folks

03:01lovely shot down the ground was thrown up it was a widest half folly he was all over that king

03:07oh doesn't quite carry does not quite carry for exactly that reason which will come back to the break after the break

03:19on debut

03:23age 30 making his debut was a quick

03:30oh well this one fractionally shorter and he got a welcome to test cricket

03:37and again same result it's just a little short and it's sitting up

03:46this one is cut away backward a point for four

03:53that's the line that is going to feel much better for michael ray

03:58big shout big shout big shout and given there's the first wicket techner makes the breakthrough

04:14pitching outside off impact in line and with its impact car

04:18and that's a sad way for brandon king to go 66 for one

04:28cavim hodge will join john campbell

04:34oh that'll make them feel a lot better and sickner celebrates with a short one

04:39and another lbw to the mix as well that is plum not even going to question it hodge turns on his

04:54heel he's gone and he's gone for none he's bowled outside the off stump he's bowled a good line good

05:00length and finally the first one where he attacks the stumps this time it's hodge he's got to go for

05:08north 66 for two and shea hope makes his way out to the middle here at the basin

05:14it's that one nicely through

05:23beautiful way to get off the mark

05:28stand and deliver through the offside from john campbell pitched up and put away

05:36when again full and wide this time through the point region back-to-back boundaries for campbell

05:44it's not even a chance michael ray just again just missing his line in length

05:56takes it on the shea hope gets the short ball and dispatches it

06:04edge gone just like that

06:07michael ray has a first wicket in test cricket and he is pumped up like a bouncy castle

06:20it's not a half volley

06:23not a great shot wasn't really there to drive nice piece of work at first slip and that's one

06:29and michael ray has him caught by mitchell for 44 it's 93 for three

06:40short from folks and that has been pulled away to the boundary for four

06:48beautiful what a lovely shot that is from shea hope

06:52what an incredible shot that is by the man in form shea hope

07:07once again he's driving the ball magnificently whether the full ones or whether it's just short

07:15of ideal and typical driving length

07:21lovely timing down the ground

07:25goes full goes straight and is met by shea hope

07:31then that's a great shot well hope has just leant onto that beautifully all timing in class

07:39oh it loves away taken goes the fuller delivery follows it up with an absolute rip snorter of a short ball

07:55a shot that was in total control and then that done by a short ball very classy player in shy hope he's

08:04going for 48 153 for four

08:10on the sweepers roston chase and this will be swept behind square for four

08:20again oh that is good fielding that's the kind of play we talked about things happen around him he's a

08:28magnet for action glenn phillips

08:30on the sweep

08:38and four runs beautifully timed shot that not afraid of that shot

08:45oh that is a shot that is authoritative off the back foot punch through cover for four

08:53oh that's kept down that one zooted along and tick now he's in amongst him today brilliant stuff from him

09:07probably with a little bit of assistance

09:08yeah that's nice yes yeah yeah that looks out and that is out ray has two

09:19michael ray on debut grabs his second wicket

09:24fuller a little bit of nibble and just enough for that english willow well taken

09:29close close close you go up for that and now by doesn't this may be a referral to look very very good

09:42they've been reticent to refer today and they're going to do it now

09:47well it always looked good and it was just hitting at the top of the stumps

10:01and roach he has to go for a duck 184 for seven

10:06in the air in the air and drops i think he got there i think blair tickner got there

10:24it's a great short ball right on target from michael ray

10:28tickner's gone hard he's committed gone forward to it gets hand to it a tough chance goes down

10:41teban imlak will take it although it's not where he intended to smack it

10:47lovely bounce of the surface nice and high he's gone at it imlak

10:52gonna get a good healthy top edge

10:59more runs

11:04and i don't think blair tickner is convinced that it was stopped i hope he hasn't hurt himself he's

11:09still on the floor i hope he hasn't hurt himself

11:12ouch this is not great signs at all for new zealand

11:24he's done an outstanding effort to run for his button on the other end to do a big diving save

11:30this is not looking good

11:32oh no yeah that looks like a shoulder that's still getting and popping out that is so unfortunate

11:45that is terrible news for new zealand and terrible news for blair tickner comes back makes such great

11:51impact in this game puts his body on the line for his partner ends up to look to be a terrible injury

11:59and new zealand is going to go into this test match now again with another bowler down

12:04and new zealand are already suffering the effects of so many of their first choice quick bowlers

12:13suffering from injury and that's why he's in the game michael ray that's why blair tickner is in this game

12:19oh yeah slips one through a big workload indeed and success for glenn phillips

12:33just has a way of making things happen a little bit of turn back in but just played down the wrong line

12:39it's having him like gone for 16 the west indies 199 for eight

12:44and that'll also bring the 200 up for the west indies that lead by

13:00oh gotta be a run out no because no oh wow did they get it did they get a second play at it

13:07i'm not sure about this that's christian clark who's gathered it and just thought well i'll have a go as

13:12well

13:17yeah just freeze it there clearly shot of their ground made my decision for the big screen

13:23wow good thinking from christian clark on there nice moment for him and that was out by a long way

13:30that was a right mixer and philip has to depart for five west indies at 204 for nine

13:41in the air and gone a simple catch there is kane williamson right on cue

13:46chipped away off the edge they were asked to bat first and 44 from campbell and 33 from king was

13:53they had a great start to capitalize on but new zealand went bang bang and hodge went early for for a duck and

13:58then hope yeah i wouldn't say it was his most fluent 48 but new zealand has worked on that short ball

14:05but he's still hung on there he's a classy player and he contributed 48 but just not enough

14:10you know the ball is outstanding today led by bled tickner unfortunate injury to him

14:17called 16 overs 4 for 32 for 32 he bowled outstanding with some pace and aggression

14:22second sack folks jacob duffy the new ball up front did really well peace michael ray got better as the

14:30day went on took three wickets

14:32thomas tom latham in his 90th match best of 264 a bit of 38 almost touching 39

14:46a little fiddle at that we're actually just getting a little bit of way movement

15:01jaden seals start from the arena 25 matches 92 wickets average of 24 he's bowled beautifully in new

15:09zealand conditions oh full full worth a yell without a doubt just a shake of the head there now this was

15:19swinging quite a lot but it was full around the wicket so that's the first thing the umpire's thinking

15:26a lot of swing as well yeah heading down the leg side

15:36we like that he might have got a little bit bad on that yes he has four runs

15:45top edge top edge who wants it oh nearly gets it seals a desperate dive

15:50and he's very nearly got there

15:56yeah the bounce just closes the face a little bit early on it

16:00steep bounce rises and great effort on the fingertips

16:09nice from conway beat thrives on with

16:12out and out half early on conway on the march again this time off roach

16:29safely negotiated and that concludes

16:34the opening days play in new zealand take the plaudits

16:38two wickets going down for 92 in that first session two in the second but six wickets

16:45a capitulation in the third session the west indies it was partnerships a real

16:53partnerships of significance for scores 240s i'll be disappointed that four batters got to start

17:00that name there blair tickner he was exceptional with michael ray on debut

17:03sharing seven wickets a piece unfortunately tickner leaving the field with an injury we hope that

17:11he's all right because he's had an exceptional day and probably missed out on a five for the debut

17:25you
