On the first day of Wellington’s test against the West Indies, New Zealand scored 294 of 6 in 64 overs.
Nichols was undefeated at 117 at the end of the day in the 6th century of his Test career. This is the hundredth century of this field.
The West Indies won the toss and chose to go bowling. They featured the two in test caps, pacemaker Shemer Holder and goalie-hitter Joshua da Silva. A Caribbean cricketer born in the Caribbean before Joshua played test cricket for the West Indies in 1983.
The West Indies were unable to use such turf fields in the previous Test. Ken Williamson played a great 251-run inning. This time Williamson is not on the team to be next to the likely wife. But New Zealand has found a savior.
Before Nichols took over the wicket, the Caribbean bowlers were in control. Shannon Gabriel gave away 21 runs in the first 2 overs with some random bowling up front. However, the fast pitcher, who came down to play the 50th Test, was quickly terrified. Toss pitched Blondel to bring the team the first wicket.

Shemer Holder tested the first testing ground by stopping acting captain Tom Latham for 26 races. Gabriel returned the experienced Ross Taylor with 9 runs in a great delivery.
Nicholas’s fight started from there. Will Young accompanied him. The duo put up a 60-run bracket for the fourth wicket. Although he was not very comfortable with the window, Young made 43. Gabriel tested the victim from test number 150 by returning it.
Nichols then returned to BJ Watling after recovering from a fight. This pair also freezes.
Caribbean pacemaker bowling tested them quite well. Nichols wasn’t out a few times. He suffered many times. But the Caribbeans were unable to bring him back because of their own fault. Nichols put his life into sliding for two runs in 48 runs, first for Gabriel, then for Shemer Holder.
Although he was not comfortable, Nichols did not give up the fight. Take the opportunity to realize the limit. After a pair of 55 runs, Watling went away with 30 runs. The battle between Nichols and New Zealand continues.
The biggest pair of the day is the sixth wicket. Nichols added 63 runs with Daryl Mitchell. Nichols hit a century with 169 balls.
Schmeier Holder tested the second wicket on his first test cricket day, stopping Mitchell for 42 at the end of the day. However, Nichols did not give up. He came off the field with 15 fours and 1 six in 116 runs undefeated. He was the hero on the first day of the fierce battle.
