West Indies on the ropes at 98-6 in second New Zealand Test

The West Indies were on the ropes at lunch on day three of the second Test in Wellington on Friday, 98-6 and at risk of losing inside three days.

Text size:

The visitors have a slender lead of 25 at the Basin Reserve, Justin Greaves on 13 and Tevin Imlach on 2.

The three-Test series is tied at 0-0 after the first match in Christchurch ended in a draw.

The West Indies resumed on day three at 32-2, trailing by 41-runs having lost John Campbell and nightwatchman Anderson Phillip late on day two.

Brandon King (15) and Kavem Hodge (3) started brightly, negating a pitch that was offering variable bounce to the New Zealand bowlers.

King was the first to depart after a dreadful mix-up running between the wickets, run out by Michael Bracewell.

That sparked a mini-collapse as first Shai Hope and then captain Roston Chase were removed by Michael Rae and Jacob Duffy respectively.

Hodge patiently moved to 35 as wickets fell at the other end, but he departed after Will Young took a stunning diving catch from a pull shot at midwicket.

Duffy has 2-25 from 13 overs at lunch, while Rae had 2-28 from 7 overs.
