00:00it's another gorgeous morning here in tauranga welcome along to day four of this third and final
00:15test between the black caps and west indies coffee time with dazzler up in the dugout zach folks
00:21going through his warm-ups as well new zealand sit well they'll be looking to bed at some stage
00:26today and neil wagner had some fun on the camera early i don't know about those shots i don't think
00:31it's emmy award-winning tv from wags but he's done a pretty good job all things considered
00:36big job ahead for the west indies today who still trail by 194 kevin hodge the outstanding better
00:42yesterday 109 he is still there with andy phillip with four wickets in hand in this first inning
00:48two for 94 for ajas patel but look test matches have a way of moving quickly and when you have
00:56conditions such as this have a look at this folks this was the roller on the surface look at those
01:01cracks moving and shifting as the roller went across it and so spin and seam can come into play in a big
01:12way as we go through the final chapter of this test match and this test series so for both teams
01:18a lot of work to be done anderson phillip oh yes jesse just a reminder she hope was at the ground he was
01:28going through his batting routines he is available to come good composure from anderson phillip every run
01:41that he can put in that hodge can put on will be vital
01:48that is the bounce that is the lift and duffy adds to those two wickets that we just saw momentarily
01:56extra lift good effort ball yeah you can just see it deviate away move away as well wonder which crack
02:05that one hit as it was going through anderson phillips out for 17 3 86 for seven
02:17brilliant absolutely brilliant tuba short ball once again duffy to hope just touched on the line that
02:26worked for hope that one that's a little bit straighter on the badge no control whatsoever i said
02:32i'll come back and tell you why i'll be able to do it after this a long wait for hope is done he's out
02:38for four 390 for eight
02:46hodge continues along his merry wee
02:48400 comes up for the west indies
03:06oh an outside edge a genuine outside edge a nice piece of bowling
03:09oh it's gonna cost him four
03:14oh that's how to go and he's got it over the top as well michael ray looked at it shuffled in and then
03:25had to turn and scamper back
03:32oh yeah yeah slid through a little outside edge a little nod from seals as well and he turns and walks
03:46oh yeah that's it just a simple little outside edge it was full it was just moving away a tad in the
03:52air from michael ray a really nice delivery and rope she doesn't hang around today out second ball
03:59caught behind oh for very nice piece of bowling just enough hanging back in the crease feet not
04:04moving expecting that short delivery potentially hangs a bat out there michael ray pitches it up
04:11gets some movement finds the outside edge and the westernies hold out for 420. there is the match
04:19summary so far 155 runs the deficit and new zealand will be hoping that the two openers can do
04:29something quite similar to what we saw on day one you would think that the idea would be bat
04:36somewhere close to tee dearly scoring at a good enough clip and then give yourself four sessions to
04:43be able to bowl the west indies out tom latham 15 hundreds average just under 40 he's gone past the
04:506 000 run mark and will be the fast man to start things off for the west indies jaden seals approaching
04:57100 test match wickets he would be a very happy man if he's able to knock that milestone off today
05:04to start things off this morning he's just starting to see the ball misbehave slightly extra bounce at
05:09times steep climbing bounce straight away off the mark probably not the opener sales would have liked
05:19there but it's okay you can forgive a loose nut he's got to think about that channel stumps four five and six
05:25nice he cut away no item enjoys that shot and plays it well
05:38oh standing again on that extra cover drive from devon conway saw a lot of this in the first innings
05:48that is just picture perfect beautiful hands that he's got hits it hard into the surface and it bounces
05:54over cover yes just glorious from devon conway just continues his amazing form from the first innings
06:06just over pitched wide bit of worth he's got amazing hands
06:14nice when you get two straight so he has been good through the offside devon conway and now he's showing
06:21his onside skill
06:26that is his signature stroke it truly is a thing of beauty
06:36sweeping on the reverse that's a nice shot to devon conway his first boundary after lunch
06:42and devon conway decides to swing himself out of that hole and that has gone all the way oh that's a
06:52clear and evident sign that he's just picking his deliveries looking to be aggressive with some intents
06:58well we that's gone all the way
07:09devon conway is getting on with the job here and he is taking a liking to roston chase he moves to 49.
07:16that's going to do it quick single oh they're going to come back for two even more frustrating for chase
07:28devon conway goes past 50 again he is having a series this man raises the bat
07:35applause from the new zealand dugout and another fine knock underway here
07:47and that is gorgeous through the offside conway
07:55failure boots they've really punished roston chase as much as anyone else across the match not just his innings
08:05glory is through the offside
08:10latham on this occasion races away for four and with that 100 comes up for new zealand
08:23and it means that devon conway is not going to duck that one and taking full authority as he moves to 70.
08:30backs away pulls that drag down and that has been given the treatment another six for conway
08:42he moves to 80. yeah very short he was on to this savagely needed to go for six
08:48so that goes for four and that's going to be 50 for tom latham not many have done this but now tom
09:01latham and devon conway at another mark as an opening combination just the third opening pair
09:08to score 100 plus and 50 plus in the same test latham 52
09:23that's brilliant cricket by the new zealand skipper tom latham straight away set two
09:28he's out of the blocks hard you can hear there
09:30and guides it away effortlessly out to backward point takes the single helmet off for devon conway
09:45smile on the face that's test match hundred number seven for devon conway backs up his double in the
09:52first innings back to his very best he's been outstanding in this test been outstanding in the
10:00series back to rich form played so well impressive test match for devon conway adds his name to an elite
10:08list double hundred and a hundred in the same test
10:12well gets hold of that one blatham he's been looking to go powerfully leg side and finally
10:21gets one out of the middle this one is fuller and he gets plenty of it right in the middle of the bat
10:26lovely extension of the arms
10:32ah was worth the wait glorious from latham offside pitched up dispatched for four
10:38now that's not half bad either from latham couple of bounces away for four the over before the interval
10:47goes for 18 runs in new zealand they've moved themselves through to 192 without loss
10:58lifted away is there enough on it oh great effort great effort on the boundary rope from seals
11:05good composure good composure and that's the best view of that
11:10okay looks looks okay go have a look at another view of that just at the start really
11:24yeah it looks okay
11:25kevin conway brilliant hundred new zealand 192 for one
11:34okay williamson at his home ground here at bay oval
11:39as we are fortunate aren't we new zealand fans and fans worldwide to continue to be able to see the
11:43master at play came williamson a couple of fielders extra cover mid-wicket everyone else back
11:50oh god gone for it again gone finer as well that'll push tom latham into the 90s
12:08worked away that'll go for four just six more needed for tom latham
12:13to bring up another hundred for new zealand beautifully done from tom latham
12:23brings up yet another test hundred and a terrific knock
12:28his third one in this series
12:33and what a reward from a gritty and determined character
12:35is
12:46goes after that is that a chance oh that is special
12:53if you're going to end your innings it may as well to be something quite classy and that is very classy
13:00let's have a look at this bow by hodge caught by seals and a spectacular catch too he took one earlier
13:07to get rid of devon conway well played though to tom latham 234 for two
13:14rutin ravindra and kane williamson no strangers themselves to decent partnerships at this park
13:19over the top this time williamson finds the gap finds it well and another boundary
13:34ravindra straight down the grounds and over the top and that's a heavy fall as well
13:39through the fingertips over the rope for six it's unfortunate anderson phillip
13:47timed his jump reasonably well not much more that he could have done on that occasion
13:52that's what kane williamson's doing he's slogging one over mid wicket for six
14:03rutin ravindra it's a carbon copy just on the other side of the fields both williamson and ravindra
14:12hitting sixes in the over
14:13go ahead and over the fence for six
14:23surely this should signal
14:26the end of the innings must do surely 449 the lead
14:35ravindra goes big again and takes full toll and almost takes out the security guard with it
14:43russian ravindra muscles this through mid wickets tom latham emerges and tom latham says come on in
14:55fellas there is the declaration new zealand lead by 461 williamson 40 ravindra 46 both not out 306 for
15:08two declared in the second innings and there is the equation 462 runs to win they have three and a half
15:17sessions remaining around about 15 overs remain in the day's play new zealand will have a new ball and a
15:24light roll
15:28they were good these two
15:30in the first innings they put on over 100 this has been a good game to be an opening batsman
15:36john campbell and brandon king they'll be hoping that that continues here this evening
15:44all slips no gully
15:48duffy is going to start around the wicket
15:52campbell
15:52all swinging but swinging maybe down the leg side a quick no
16:12nice stop that was hit very well it is one without loss
16:17oh very very expansive he's got away with it blowing over backward point but not totally where
16:26he was intending to hit it see by the way he's had to look up find the ball afterwards that is
16:31nowhere near where he had intended it to go
16:33this time that is exactly where he intended to hit it that's beauty
16:42and again
16:46less flamboyant more of a punch same result lovely stuff
16:57nice control but good good in between length it's going to cost him four but it wasn't a bad piece of
17:02bowling
17:06crunches that one does brandon king gets another delivery that he can look to score off
17:16beautiful shot just like throw down straight into the middle of the bat strong area for king
17:26he's ridden the bounce really nicely there that is great technique and mentality as well
17:31this just makes it look so easy
17:38yeah that's a nasty one straighter line ball coming back in again just that up and down bounce
17:46and that's nasty
17:52and successfully does it
17:5316 overs bowled by new zealand to close the day out west indies safely make their way through to 43
18:05without loss
18:08the day failed of plenty of runs 388 of them just the six wickets to fall
18:12and this is where the third test match stands
18:17new zealand started things off well 575 for eight declared west indies their first innings closed at
18:24420 kaveem hodge the absolute standout 123 not out and then well new zealand they piled on the runs
18:32latham and conway both going through to centuries and williamson rutch and ravindra nice cameos to push
18:38that score up to 306 for two declared it's been a good test match for kaveem hodge so far he picked
18:45up the only two wickets to fall and a welcome return to the bowl increase and then the west indies
18:49navigated a tricky patch at the end of the day's play 16 overs to get through they did that with the plomb
