New Zealand in front after Duffy's five-for wrecks West Indies

Jacob Duffy's maiden five-wicket haul in Tests has given New Zealand the upper hand on the second day of the first Test against West Indies in Christchurch. Matt Henry also chipped in with a three-for as West Indies folded for 167 in response to New Zealand's first-innings total of 231. This despite New Zealand dropping four catches, three of those off Henry, and giving away 28 extras. For West Indies, Shai Hope and Tagenarine Chanderpaul scored half-centuries but only two others reached double-digits. At stumps, New Zealand were 32 for no loss in their second innings, extending their lead to 96.

In the morning, West Indies needed only three balls to take the last New Zealand wicket, Zak Foulkes edging Jayden Seales down the leg side. But they themselves lost an early wicket as Foulkes struck with the first ball of the second over. Bowling around the wicket, he induced an outside edge from John Campbell, and Will Young took the catch diving to his left at third slip.

However, a few overs later, Young dropped a much easier chance when Henry got Alick Athanaze to edge one. Henry was-n't to be denied for long, though. In his next over, he got the ball to jag back in from around the wicket to make a mess of Athanaze's stumps. All this while, the scoreboard moved at a snail's pace. After 12 overs, West Indies were 10 for 2.
