Kiwis pegged back by Edwards haul
Monday, 22 December 2008
West Indies pace bowler Fidel Edwards took a career-best 7-87 but was unable to prevent New Zealand from forging a first-innings lead of 64 in Napier, reports BBC.
The Kiwis began day three of the second Test on 145-2, and opener Tim McIntosh added 100 with Jesse Ryder (57) on the way to his maiden Test century.
But after McIntosh was bowled for 136, the last six wickets fell for 55 runs as they were bowled out for 371.
Chris Gayle helped the Windies to 62-2 by the close, still two runs adrift.
Skipper Gayle (36 not out) added 58 with fellow opener Sewnarine Chattergoon - but Chattergoon and Ramnaresh Sarwan fell to the spin of Jeetan Patel and Daniel Vettori respectively just before bad light curtailed play.
The spin pair were particularly economical - conceding just 15 runs from 12 overs between them - as the Black Caps put the squeeze on the tourists.
Second Test, Napier (day three, close): West Indies 307 & 62-2 v New Zealand 371.
