NZ vs WI 1st Test – Day 5
Results：The match drawn.
| New Zealand | West Indies |
| 231&466/8d | 167&457/6 |
West Indies showcased the pure aesthetic of defence on day five as Justin Greaves and Kemar Roach survived 68.1 overs to pull off a stunning draw in Christchurch. After Shai Hope’s overnight hundred kept the match alive, early wickets on the final morning left West Indies staring at defeat, but Greaves’ composure and Roach’s deadbat allowed them to blunt a tired New Zealand attack. Greaves reached a fourth-innings double century, Roach faced 233 balls, and together they carried West Indies to safety, finishing 74 runs short but achieving a remarkable escape built entirely on patience and technique.
What a battle. Thank you West Indies.

NZ vs WI 1st Test – Day 4
Stumps：New Zealand lead by 96 runs.
| New Zealand | West Indies |
| 231&466/8d | 167&212/4 |
Shai Hope’s unbeaten 116 and Justin Greaves’ patient 55 dragged West Indies into a fifth-day battle after a collapse threatened a four-day defeat in Christchurch. With New Zealand’s attack reduced to Jacob Duffy and part-timers due to injuries to Henry, Smith and Blundell, Hope returned from an eye infection to anchor the innings with calm footwork and clean decision-making, while Greaves curbed his instincts to grind through 143 balls. Their 140-run stand blunted the old ball on a placid surface, turning New Zealand’s 531-run target into survival mode rather than a chase. West Indies, once 72 for 4, finished 212 for 4, carrying unexpected resistance into the final day.
A big day of mahi in the field. All to play for tomorrow morning here at Hagley Oval 💪#NZvWIN | 📸 @PhotosportNZ pic.twitter.com/YByFalSKhq

NZ vs WI 1st Test – Day 3
Stumps：New Zealand lead by 96 runs.
| New Zealand | West Indies |

Rachin Ravindra’s superb 176 and Tom Latham’s commanding 145 drove New Zealand into complete control on day three in Christchurch, their 279-run stand turning a modest lead into a crushing 481-run advantage. West Indies repeatedly hurt themselves with dropped chances, letting Ravindra survive multiple early mistakes before he settled and dominated an increasingly tired attack. Latham accelerated after his fifty, sweeping, cutting and driving freely while New Zealand piled on 417 for 4 by stumps. Even late wickets brought little relief, and West Indies now face a near impossible final-innings task at Hagley Oval.
We finish the day 481 runs ahead at 417/4 after Tom Latham and Rachin Ravindra lead the way with the bat.

NZ vs WI 1st Test – Day 2
Stumps：New Zealand lead by 96 runs.
| New Zealand | West Indies |
| 231&32/0 | 167 |
Jacob Duffy’s maiden Test five-for put New Zealand firmly ahead on day two in Christchurch, skittling West Indies for 167 despite dropped chances and 28 extras. Shai Hope and Tagenarine Chanderpaul battled for fighting fifties, but no other West Indies batter offered support as Matt Henry’s movement and Duffy’s short-ball plan broke key stands. Early wickets from Zak Foulkes and Henry set the tone before Duffy returned after a rain break to finish the innings with three late strikes. New Zealand then moved to 32 without loss in their second innings, stretching their lead to 96 and tightening control of the opening Test.

NZ vs WI 1st Test – Day 1
Stumps：New Zealand lead by 231 runs.
| New Zealand | West Indies |
| 231/9(70) |
New Zealand and West Indies ended an eventful opening day in Christchurch on level terms after the visitors’ quicks repeatedly broke through but couldn’t finish the job. Kane Williamson’s hard-fought fifty held New Zealand together early, yet a collapse to 148 for 6 put them in danger of being bowled out cheaply. Kemar Roach struck immediately on return, Justin Greaves removed both Williamson and Tom Latham, and debutant Ojay Shields recovered from a nervous start to claim two wickets. But Michael Bracewell counterattacked, Nathan Smith defended stubbornly, and their 52-run stand lifted New Zealand to 231 for 9 on a rain-shortened day.
Bad light brings a premature end to today’s proceedings.
Rear-guard action from Michael Bracewell and Nathan Smith get us through to 231 at the end of the day.
