Welcome to the live coverage of Day 3 of the second Test between New Zealand and West Indies at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Friday, December 12, 2025. The hosts hold the upper hand after securing a 73-run first-innings lead and then striking twice late on Day 2 to leave the visitors reeling at 32/2.
Devon Conway (60) and debutant Mitch Hay (61) were the standout performers with the bat for New Zealand, while Jacob Duffy and Michael Rae picked up wickets in the evening session to tighten their grip on the contest.
West Indies, bowled out for 205 in their first innings, now trail by 41 runs with Brandon King and Kavem Hodge at the crease. Captain Kraigg Brathwaite fell cheaply, and Anderson Phillip was trapped lbw, leaving the Caribbean side under pressure to mount a fightback.
