New Zealand Tightens Control After Late Strikes on Day 2 Against West Indies
New Zealand seized command on Day 2 with key late wickets after building a solid lead, leaving West Indies under pressure heading into Day 3.
New Zealand ended Day 2 firmly in control after late wickets pushed West Indies onto the back foot in the second Test. A composed fifty from Devon Conway set the tone, while debutant Mitchell Hay’s calm half-century and lower order support carried the hosts to a 73 run lead. Jacob Duffy and Rae capitalised on ideal twilight conditions to remove Campbell and nightwatchman Phillip, leaving West Indies trailing by 41 with eight wickets in hand.
