For New Zealand, Tom Latham, the opening batsman went onto score 82 and top-scored for his country. Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor made 40s. But both of them weren’t able to convert it into a big score. New Zealand though, did take the wicket of Chris Gayle playing in his 101st Test match. He was cleaned up by Trent Boult, the left-arm swing bowler. Catch the live blog here.
