West Indies grind it out in the middle to end the first session on 68/2 after 29 overs of their first innings. They trail New Zealand by 163 runs. Day 2 began with New Zealand in the twilight of their first innings at 231/9 with Jacob Duffy and Zak Foulkes in the middle. However Jayden Seales needed just 3 balls before he found the edge of Zak Foulkes to close out the New Zealand first innings for 231 all out after 70.3 overs in total. Minutes later the West Indies opening duo of John Campbell and Tagenarine Chanderpaul walked out to begin the batting effort. They were met with some vicious bowling from Matt Henry and Zak Foulkes! John Campbell did not last long as he edged one to Will Young off Zak Foulkes on Foulkes' first ball of the match! Under pressure Chanderpaul and Athanaze went into their shells and defended everything in sight. That was until the 11th over when Henry bowled a beautiful inswinger to beat Athanaze's inside edge and crash into his stumps to reduce West Indies to 10/2! Since then Shai Hope and Tagenarine Chanderpaul have shown grit and determination to stitch together a strong partnership of 58 runs for the 3rd wicket. KM Punk Live. KM Punk. Crictalks Live.

Shai Hope has been the chief run scorer for West Indies with 33 runs off 58 balls but Tagenarine's resolve is unbeatable right now and he is holding up his end since the beginning with 25 runs off 83 balls! With West Indies determined to put in a good show in the whites New Zealand's pace battery might have to dig deep to crack this game open. It is the Hagley Oval which will host the first Test between New Zealand and West Indies. The hosts and the visitors have never played a Test before at this venue. A venue where only 1 out of 14 Tests has been drawn. It will be another result oriented track and NZ are a very tough team to beat here. However the last two Tests they have played here they have ended up losing it. But NZ traditionally are one of the toughest to beat at home and we might see another example of it. New Zealand are about to begin their campaign in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27 cycle the last of the nine teams involved in the WTC to do so. They last played a Test against Zimbabwe four months ago while their previous fixture as part of the WTC was a year ago when England came to their shores and won the Crowe-Thorpe Trophy 2-1. Kane Williamson who skipped the Tests against Zimbabwe returns to the red-ball setup after an extensive preparation which saw him miss the recent ODI series against West Indies. Meanwhile on the bowling side of things Zakary Foulkes who impressed on Test debut against Zimbabwe with match figures of 9 for 75 could be a ready starter for his first Test at home.

West Indies on the other hand have endured a torrid start to their WTC cycle with a 3-0 whitewash against Australia at home which included being bowled out for 27 in the final Test. A 2-0 defeat to India followed in the subcontinent to make matters worse. But the men from the Caribbean showed a lot more application in the second Test against India dragging the game to Day 5 after India enforced the follow-on. John Campbell and Shai Hope led the fight with centuries. 🏏 In-depth Match Analysis: Expert commentary on team performance player ratings and game-changing decisions. 📊 Live Score Updates: Real-time tracking of the TEST Live Cricket Score. 💬 Interactive Fan Discussion: Share your opinions ask your questions and engage with other cricket fans in the live chat! ⭐ Key Moments & Highlights: Reviewing the best shots catches and bowling spells of the day.
