NZ reach 156/3 in reply to Windies 367
HAMILTON, New Zealand (CMC) — West Indies frustrated New Zealand with bat and ball but Ross Taylor’s unbeaten half century helped to steer the Black Caps to safety on the second day of the third test at Seddon Park Hamilton on Friday.
Taylor is undefeated on 56 and Kane Williamson was bowled by Sunil Narine for 58 as New Zealand closed the day on 156 for three, in reply to West Indies 367 all out, highlighted by centuries from Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Denesh Ramdin.
Taylor and Williamson added 95 to ease some of New Zealand’s pressure after their openers went cheaply on a slow wicket.
