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
