New Zealand Vs West Indies (New Zealand men’s cricket team vs West Indies men’s cricket team) 1st Test Day 2 LIVE:
Visitors West Indies stunned the 2023 World Test Championship winners New Zealand on the rain-hit opening day, forcing them to stagger to 231 for 9.
The hosts’ strong start unraveled once Kane Williamson fell for 52, triggering a collapse from 94 for 1 to 148 for 6. Despite early trouble and repeated interruptions, Williamson and Tom Latham had rebuilt well before the West Indies’ bowlers, led by Justin Greaves, Kemar Roach, and debutant Ojay Shields, took control.
A late 52-run stand between Michael Bracewell and Nathan Smith offered a brief recovery, but with wickets continuing to fall, New Zealand ended the day with only Zak Foulkes and Jacob Duffy unbeaten and the West Indies firmly on top.
