WELLINGTON – Jacob Duffy and Michael Rae grabbed two late wickets to put New Zealand in firm control of the second Test after a courageous effort by the West Indies’ bowlers brought them back into contention yesterday.
Rae produced a brilliant inswinger to bowl John Campbell, while Duffy trapped nightwatchman Anderson Phillip plumb in front, as the Windies ended the day perilously placed on 32 for two, still 41 runs in arrears.
Earlier, led by pacer Anderson Phillip, the Windies did well to bowl out the home side for 278 and restrict their first innings lead to a manageable 73, after they had looked poised to score much more.
Resuming from their overnight total of 24 without loss, New Zealand added 16 more runs before Kemar Roach produced a gem of a delivery that beat captain Tom Latham’s inside edge and knocked over his off stump. (CMC)
