New Zealand 294 for 6 (Nicholls 117*, Young 43, Mitchell 42, Gabriel 3-57, Chemar Holder 2-65) vs West Indies
It's unlikely Henry Nicholls will score a scratchier, more fortune-laden hundred, but runs are runs, and they're worth even more when they come on a greentop offering pace, bounce and seam movement. Nicholls' innings ensured New Zealand wrested control of the second Test firmly away from West Indies, who had begun the opening day positively with their fast bowlers, led by Shannon Gabriel in his 50th Test, enjoying the help on offer at the Basin Reserve.
At stumps, New Zealand were 294 for 6, with Nicholls batting on 117.
