Previously, the visiting team won a major draw and chose to pitch against New Zealand in the first test. The first playing session was interrupted due to a persistent drizzle, but the sky cleared and the pitch, delayed for two hours, took place under bright sunshine.
The court at Seddon Park in Hamilton was lush green, almost indistinguishable from the gardens, and the XIs in the West Indies and New Zealand reflected that. Both teams left the top-of-the-line spinners in Mitchell Santner and Rahkeem Cornwall, and went with a strong pacing attack.
His four closers at Kiwi XI are Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Neil Wagner and Kyle Jamieson.
The West Indies count on the scion of Roston Chase to call, but their four front-line pitchers are also scorers in Kemar Roach, Holder, Shannon Gabriel and Alzarri Joseph.
