00:00it is a beautiful morning in wellington new zealand and we are ready now for the start of

00:16day two of this second test between new zealand and the west indies and i don't think it's an

00:23overstatement to say it's the most important day now in this test series since the final day at

00:30haggle in the first test to be quite frank because new zealand are 24 without loss after bowling out

00:37the west indies for 205 on the opening day they trail by 181 and it is a dynamic batting order

00:47and because of that wind direction we have a change of ends for kimaro who started at the

00:54opposite end yesterday and what he's looking for is for that wind to assist his delivery

01:01as he runs in from his left shoulder to his right which would help him take the ball away from the

01:07left-handed batter perhaps it would be jayden seals from the other end who wants to shape it back into

01:15the left hander away from ear right hander if you were at the crease four slips

01:34and score he does straight away for a couple

01:37i like this field to conway it's an aggressive field

01:47that's what devon conway looks to do he promised he tried to score if given a chance

01:56and he wants that square of the wicket to follow devon conway as well

02:00latham up on his toes gets on top of the bounce and punches it in front of square

02:10oh has he itched that it's bolder keema roach what a beauty this is somewhere into that area

02:20we're outside or inside get him pushing at it and that is a calm celebration latham goes for 11 36 for one

02:31kane williamson coming in to face a man who's at times had his number he's got him six times roach

02:43six times in test cricket roach has gotten williamson

02:46oh edgy well bowled from roach feeling for it kane williamson gets a boundary

03:02whipped with some power

03:03he doesn't mix his feelings devon conway when he's on flow

03:11oh dropped it dropped it the plan almost came to fruition

03:15conway himself put a couple down in that very same position in the first test of chander ball

03:23finally get it's an opportunity and it's a short leg that's in place

03:28a little full again

03:37it'll easily go for four

03:38oh this time driving through the covers there's a risky shot but it hit the middle of the bat

03:50full delivery in the slot

03:52oh no that's not flash that's a real ranking and it got what it deserved

04:03oh straight back and passed in one hand and outs it's going to go all the way for four that's how hard it was hit

04:13but it's so powerfully hurt that it wasn't enough to stop the boundary

04:23oh that looks lovely and it is lovely that is so elegant from devon conway got the wits beautiful stroke

04:32conway on the swivel

04:37beautiful shot from devon conway enjoys playing that shot he was quickly on to length

04:43oh

04:46conway he will look for two and he'll come back for two and a cancer gets there and that is 50

05:49ravindra first up oh wow that's a little loose but that's russian ravindra and he gets away with that one

06:04he indicated that he thought that that just hopped a little bit bounce

06:12there is a noise there is a finger up

06:14finger up and that is a weak area for rats in ravindra as well they are working away at these plots

06:24how you thought this was the player they needed to be right on the money from right from ball one

06:29and it's done and first ball he's faced after the break russian ravindra gone for five new zealand 117 for three

07:28as soon as they go to the short ball he climbs into it it's nicely inside the line of it uses the bounce

07:35uses the pace

08:12goals oh that is a shot wow mitch hey

08:22oh he's a big appeal big appeal mitchell stands his ground and so does pull rifle

08:28now decision to make wouldn't be the first today

10:35it's high anderson phillips underneath it he has safe hands and rust and chase strikes in his very first

10:47over

10:51instead he plays an authentic back foot punch for four

10:54does have a goal and a smart cricket shot instead of going leg side he goes over mid off

11:05oh there you go folks says well it's no mine for me i'll play my shots and he's got a boundary

11:40what's going on kimia roach does not miss out now whacked into the surface from philip jacob duffy

11:48couldn't quite get the control he was after top edge it's held well by kimar roach in the deep

11:54duffy gone for 11 and new zealand now 257 for eight there is a leg slip in place more a leg gully

12:02there's the man at short leg and michael ray decides i'm getting off the mark here thanks

12:06very much there's my first run in test cricket and that's going to be overthrows to boot

12:12and that's going to be a five

12:16well you don't see that very often gosh that's a great feeling that is what a way to get yourself

12:23off the mark in international cricket runs away for four and you say well there you go michael ray

12:28have five to get yourself off the mark

12:33oh that's a shot michael ray standing tall pulls that away through mid wicket for four

12:43swatted that away onto the practice wickets cuts it off well

12:48got him got him i think he thought it was going to be full or short and it wasn't it was full

13:03and the head was back the weight was back a little mighty swing at it

13:08and he'll run off because he knows he needs to bowl now

13:10well he set the trap he put another man back on the leg side it's good from roston chase

13:19it was straight it was full enough top of leg stump there's been success on this wicket

13:26at the top of the stumps still a bit of movement there but it's always the bottom line when you look

13:32at these match summaries new zealand lead by 73 runs and the question that one has for oneself is how

13:39many wickets is that lead worth well we're starting with three slips in the gully attacking stuff from

13:45tom latham jacob duffy with the new kookaburra in hand

13:52a little bit of swing just a hint

13:56oh that's another good lead i'll tell you what he started with good judgment

14:04this is really good test cricket there's john campbell

14:12nicely underway good batting in that over was very good bowling as well

14:19oh good shot a little bit of a nothing ball trying to get up and hit the wicket there folks

14:25are just sat up and got whacked

14:30lovely shot just too full he's missed his lengths in the sober

14:38oh pulling again nice and selective and great execution wow

14:47brandon king will take that boundary west indies will take the boundary the deficit is 53

14:55with the swing this time the normal movement from folks is whipped away nicely

15:08oh he has this man in his first over he started better and there are good leaves and bad leaves that

15:16was a poor one from campbell comfortable now he's had a taste he comes in wax the wicket gets some

15:23purchase back in that's the top of off what a start for michael ray gets john campbell for 14 of 27

15:31western western is 24 for one ah the old night watchman anderson phillip

15:44question asked question asked eyes and lethal at second slip

15:48they do go for it

16:01the on-screen signal jacob duffy was begging tom lapham he said that felt good

16:06i could see the off stump and anderson phillip has depart for three ball dark western he's a 25 for two

16:13bob am hodge on a pair second time he's batting at three in his test career limited test career three in

16:22the first innings lots of sips on appear too high too high

16:53the west indies finish on 32 for two year he's shaking his head

17:00but the west indies will also take some heart in getting nine new zealand wickets
