- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR86.4 West Indies finally have a breakthrough! Lands it on a shorter length and gets a hint of wobble away from fourth stump, leans forward in an attempt to slice it away and gets caught by Chase in the slip cordon. Gone after a sublime century and cashed in on his rich vein of form. Now then, there is an opportunity to pick another wicket with stumps not far away. Something to rejoice for West Indies 323/1120.6 given out lbw and Conway is happy to walk off. A monumental innings from Conway. He's carried NZ on his back but for right this moment he is not quite up to the ball keeping a smidge low on middle and off stump. Once again it's Greaves getting the reward for hitting that good length area and testing the batter, searching for his vulnerabilities. 432/493.4 caught behind. Beautiful stuff from West Indies. Basic really. Hitting the good length area. Drawing just enough movement away from the bat. Duffy has to play, the line is straight enough to warrant that. Only manages an edge through to Imlach 350/2114.1 Massive breakthrough! Length or thereabouts, floating in the channel with a slight deviation, goes chasing it, trying to play an expansive drive and gets a bit late, ball takes a feather edge. Excellent bowling and set-up. Straightforward catch for the keeper. Greaves celebrates with a big broad smile 419/3129.2 caught down the leg side and Mitchell is walking off with a dark cloud over his head, angry at himself for being done like that. Chase pulls a little rabbit out the hat, going a touch wider on his crease, angling the ball in on middle, getting extra bounce and loads and loads of turn, taking a glove through to the keeper Imlach who has done really well despite being blinded by the batter's shot 455/5132.5 Thumped hard into the surface and offers more width, successfully lures him into a wild slash and he edges it to the keeper, absolutely elated and over the moon, good passage of play for West Indies. Extra bounce and the outside edge was safely snaffled by keeper behind the stumps 461/6146.6 taken at first slip. Phillips looks to force the pace too against a back of a length ball outside off but his intention to hit the ball square through point ends up in the hands of Chase behind the wicket thanks to a bit of extra bounce 522/7148.3 through him, that's a beauty! Phillip has a habit of producing these. He took Williamson down with one earlier in this series. Here the pitched up ball swings into the right-hander in the air, so Foulkes sets up with a flick to mid-on, but after pitching it holds its line, beats the closed face and crashes into off stump.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR24.6 taken at second slip! Campbell walks off with his head thrown back. Exactly the wrong shot to play. Exactly the right length to bowl. Exactly what was missing last evening. Duffy occupies the corridor outside the off stump. He pitches it on a good length, on that 5-6m area. The left-hander is late coming forward, he's mostly out there with his hands, dangling in the wind. The front foot actually lands well after the edge is taken 111/134.1 off the pad and into the stumps. King much too late to respond to a ball that he might well consider an opportunity for runs. It was swinging into his pads, maybe a little more than he is ready for. And since he didn't pick that up, he was hurrying into the shot, falling away, losing his balance and in the end merely deflected it onto his stumps 140/255.2 that's poor. The line is so wide. The length is not drivable. Yet Imlach goes for it. He would've looked a million dollars had it gone off the middle. But the likelihood of that happening was minuscule. Decision making error lets New Zealand off the hook as a healthy nick carries through to the keeper 206/371.4 Rattles the stumps! Good length and slanting into the pads, clears his front leg and got caught up in two minds, ball richochets off the his pad to the stumps and his innings comes to an end in an unfortunate fashion, went back in his crease and just got stuck deep in the crease 267/494.4 there's the lbw that he's bowling for. Very full. Very straight. Inexplicable that Greaves has missed this. Especially in the driving form that he's in. He's reviewed it though. Ultraedge shows no bat. Impact is on the back pad. Three reds confirming the on-field decision 348/597.1 does him in, lbw but Chase wants a review. Ajaz was working towards this in the last over too. Keeps it on a good length. Keeps it on a tight line. Chase continues to play from the crease. And the moment the ball skids on he's in trouble. Hurrying to bring the bat down, it's a closed face, he makes zero contact. And it's three reds. The WI captain has had a difficult tour of NZ. Bags only the third single-digit score in a match of nearly 250 overs. 351/6114.3 And Duffy strikes in his first over of the day! Back of length outside off and it kicks off the surface and seams away to take the outside edge from Anderson Phillip. He couldn't do much more than try and fend that on the back foot, but his 64-ball vigil has come to an end, with the ball going off the shoulder. A lot of extra bounce there. Did that come off a crack? 386/7116.2 Top edged and it's taken! Short ball ploy works for Duffy. This is banged in short just outside off and Hope skied it as he tried to pull. Foulkes runs to his right from long leg and settles under it and Hope's stay is a short one 390/8127.5 Nicks him off! Slides it on a length outside off, drifting away a touch, and takes the outside edge as Seales goes back to defend. Blundell gobbles it up, and Seales' resistance is over. Actually, scratch that. A replay shows that Ajaz got that to clip the off-stump, so he actually was bowled before he was caught! 419/9128.2 Rae wraps it up! Full outside off, shaping away a touch and Roach is caught on the crease. Rae finds the outside edge and Blundell makes no mistake.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR47.5 Jayden Seales with another beauty of a catch! Latham dances out of the crease to this full ball outside off. Doesn't quite get to the pitch of it as he swings it over midwicket. Seales, out in the deep, runs to his right and dives to complete a stunner. Williamson and Latham have a chat. What's the decision? And New Zealand will continue to bat 234/239.3 Rocks back for the pull, and has Seales managed to catch this? Half-tracker and Conway pulls it to deep midwicket's left. Seales runs and grabs it above his head, tosses the ball up with momentum taking him over the rope and comes back to complete the catch.
