New Zealand vs West Indies, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Tickner to Shai Hope, out Caught by Williamson!! Third wicket for Tickner. He not only gets the set batter but also West Indies' most in-form batter. This is a snorter. Was it a set up? Offered Hope a half volley the previous delivery and follows it up with a well-directed short ball, Hope does not see it coming and has nowhere to go, fends it by ducking and taking his eyes off, the ball hits the glove and lobs towards the slip cordon where Williamson takes a dolly. Tickner has persisted with the short stuff right through this spell and finally has his reward. Shai Hope c Williamson b Tickner 47(80) [4s-8]
