2nd Test - New Zealand 145 For Two 2nd Day vs WI

Napier: A century stand by Tim McIntosh and Daniel Flynn put New Zealand in the box seat as they hunted down the West Indies first innings total of 307 in the second Test on Saturday.

At stumps on the second day New Zealand were 145 for two, with McIntosh on 62* (210b, 9x4) and Flynn out for 57 (161b, 4x4, 2x6) , requiring a further 163 runs to get their noses in front.

The West Indies first innings was wrapped up in an hour on the second day with a masterful 126 (282b, 11x4, 3x6) not out by Shivnarine Chanderpaul providing the backbone of an undaunting 307 on an easy wicket.

The chief destroyer for New Zealand was Iain O'Brien who finished with career best figures of six for 75 from 26 overs.

New Zealand's reply started with an early setback when the out-of-form Jamie How survived two chances before falling for 12, pulling Fidel Edwards straight to Shivnarine Chattergoon at square leg.
