00:00it is a glorious sight it is wonderful weather and outstanding cricketing weather and the crowds
00:17are starting to build up here at the beovil third and final test of this series the coin fell in
00:23favor of New Zealand's captain Tom Latham and in bright sunshine he is elected to bat first
00:32New Zealand with Patel the left arm spinner in for the first time in this series familiar faces all
00:42the rest of them Michael Ray Tom Lundell Daryl Mitchell Glen Phillips Weston is also with a
00:51change of their own so there will be work to do for Alec Athanese as he comes back into the team there is
01:02no OJ shields and familiar foes from a top to bottom either side of that John Campbell Brandon Kane but
01:12the bowlers will be hoping to make in route or in swing it to the left hander can he get the ball into
01:21that six meter area to leave them again New Zealand are off and running with at least a couple
01:30the cleanest assists you'll ever see but two runs take occasionally he will accentuate the scene he
01:49will still hold it in his run-up as though he's trying to work it away from the left-hander
01:54well that was fuller and it's being squeezed away on the offside and gone for four
02:03four two full that was just a nice freebie to start a little bit of swing angle and just asked to be
02:15belted and he'll start with a loosener and that is a beautiful shot from Tom Nathan
02:23oh mix up mix up this could be tight it's back there's a pretty ball it looks pretty but it's
02:34not effective and then this one's just straying into the legs got a feel in there now it's greater
02:40the doubt I mean they don't have the easy one all morning being able to pick up an easy one there
02:44good pick up not a great throw nice shot through the offside well controlled full face of the bat
02:53don't know if he's hit it well enough but but the ball rolls well
02:56edging this time that's streaky yeah it's a little streaky he'll get away with it frustration for the West
03:04Indies oh good shot that was total control there just a little short and a little wide it wasn't
03:13much and Conway was on to it edge so he's able to keep that under control angle that down hasn't got
03:25close to carrying to the disappointment of that man there it's through no one there that's another
03:35boundary for Conway that's is delightful truly that is a shot of a man who's in good touch 65 for now
03:48early past I think music remember Hodge is it Arget short leg short wide one from Roach Tom Nathan
04:06capitalizing that that's up and over the top that is a great shot that could have felt very good off the
04:18and that is another half century for Devon Conway way to bring it up beautiful of drive
04:27this has been a very steady sturdy stoic inning so far for Conway
04:37oh that's pulled away beautifully too this is going to be back-to-back boundaries for Devon Conway
04:42well that's gone again Kemal Roach has got that very wrong and that's 100 up for New Zealand and
04:54with that the 100 run partnership as well 103 the first 100 run stand
05:03as an opening partnership against the West Indies for 23 years
05:07well that's off the top of the bat
05:16clipped away beautifully that's four more Conway really is starting to work through the gears here
05:21just look at this one Scotty saw this earlier on as well just a little bit more uncertain there
05:37weight back
05:40more worried about his bat than running between the wickets
05:43cut and that is raced away for four
05:53cut away again this one will be cut off come back for a couple
06:0050 up for Tommy Latham his 31st half century at test level to go with 14 centuries he's done it again here
06:0914th time in New Zealand both up has now passed the half century mark it's been good from Latham
06:20on the drive again gee he has looked majestic at times today Katie Martin that's another example of it
06:28oh and the runs just keep coming
06:42the gap finding of Devon Conway in this innings has been sublime
06:49stop it on the drive that is delightful once more Conway in that area today
06:55has been superb
07:00just a little bit too much and i guess that's the issue if you get it wrong good enough on the cut so
07:07good square
07:12cuts cuts well
07:13flicked away she has looked great off his pads
07:31it's going to go to the boundary for four
07:32these two have been outstanding
07:40and outstanding indeed and Darren Conway brings up another 10th century
07:46lovely flow of the bat and what an innings that's been teammates crowd up on their feet
07:53very well deserved round of applause for that man bringing up his 100 147 deliveries
07:59an outstanding knock 17 falls comes up a six test match 100
08:08the presser fingers they're going at a great rate 3.6 runs and over and that is just beautiful from Tom Latham
08:15and that is uncomfortable
08:23this climb steeply rises in that saw that's painful blow
08:28straight on the bottom arm see the lift of this of the surface that's steep high and that's a
08:34farm flush
08:37a bit of damage there and hopefully it's nothing serious for Conway
08:44well that'll help it's a nice little gift from roston chase
08:48and that is the 200 up for new zealand's
09:02comes up just 320 deliveries Tom Latham contributing 83 of them
09:09Devin Conway 108 of them and just the sixth time
09:13New Zealanders passed 200 for their opening partnership
09:21lovely down the ground
09:22off the first one was good second one even better glorious through the offside
09:35he's pierced that gap so well all day Devin Conway
09:38close just enough power on that as well Devin Conway's just staying slightly leg side of it at the moment
09:48looking to try and access that offside yeah not fully in control and it was a little close
09:52i wouldn't say that was a particularly poor delivery and that could have easily gone to gully it was
09:57catchable height
10:03guided away beautifully in the get
10:09cutaway and Latham brings up a century and trademark fashion his second of the series
10:17he has been special today Ian Bishop it is a terrific knock from the captain who won the toss
10:24chose to leave from the front in batting first weathered the storm this morning when a few
10:30deliveries went past the outside edge this is a high class knock not always straightforward
10:38edge and that flies away for four more
10:41partnership runs just behind Fleming and Astell now these two they've done it in quick time too 49 innings
10:56cutting again four more 250 up for just the fourth time in New Zealand test cricket history
11:05records tumbling here
11:11edge drops
11:15he was going to his left and going down he was well up and then couldn't get down to his left in time
11:22it's the second catch he's put down on this tour very unlike him and that's another one that he feel
11:28that he should have held on to
11:33off the pads again if the lesson has not been learned by now it may never be
11:41pulls that away that's a lovely stroke again Latham now starting to access that leg side he's been
11:47almost exclusively playing to the offside today
11:56and that is just the sort of pressure release that roston chase did not need in this over
12:01punch
12:06punched out to point
12:09150 for devon conway what a day he is having done without fuss done with style
12:18and this partnership now is one shy of the all-time new zealand opening partnership records in new zealand
12:31it's not a bad way to start the test match off is it
13:01oh that's a pie that is what they call in the trade a mince pie and it got what it deserved
13:15he's making every poster winner today he's out on an ipl contract but that's 300 on the board for
13:20new zealand's the openers
13:22getting this done it's milestone after milestone here they have done it unequivocally in calculated
13:33fashion these two
13:39swept away effectively another boundary
13:42straight
13:46straight down the ground don't get any straighter than that
13:52oh i shouldn't laugh he's held the bat so tight he's cramped up
13:58pulls and that is a good looking shot
14:02has it carried that is a great credit to roston chase to stay alert at this stage of the day and
14:14finally finally the west indies have broken an excellent opening partnership and that's a great grab
14:21and another wicket to the veteran chemo roach tom leifam has to depart for outstanding 137 of 246 deliveries
14:32night watchman jacob duffy comes in
14:38the parts too much swing but that's the theory
14:41well played by jacob duffy you don't blame seals for going stump hunting competently met with the full
14:58face of the bat from the big man and it ends a supreme day for new zealand the final score makes
15:05it looks easy but it wasn't as straightforward as that so great compliment to devon conway he was the
15:13more attacking of the two he put a lot of pressure back on the west indies and deserved these plaudits
15:19tom leifam equally played outstanding tipped off his legs strong down the ground
15:24and strong square of the wicket as soon as the westernies missed shawton white
15:27well weston is there to tool really really hard and long today 19 overs for the veteran chemo roach
15:37finally got the wicket of tom leifam again he's one for 63 jaden seals ran in hard all day tried
15:43really hard he got some swing got some movement just never got through to be able to bother those
15:48right-handed batters but no reward for him roston chaser to do a lot of work from the one in to help and
15:54support his seamers 19 overs also gone wickedless for 75 runs
