New Zealand played smoothly on Day one of the first test bearing the loss of four wickets and at day 2 its first innings closed at a total of 351. In the response, West Indies played brilliantly and reached 145 without loss.
The morning session seemed to be focused more on survival, rather than aggression as New Zealand progress slowly, adding only 55 runs. Sunil Narine posed questions with the old ball and the seamers were seen in action with the new ball, making it difficult for the tourists to score. After making the nightwatchman Wagner out early, Narine continued to bowl with the older ball, hoping to exploit the rough. Williamson and Dean Brownlie played defensively. Darren Sammy gave Narine a break and opted for the second new ball after 106 overs.
Kemar Roach experimented well with his length by pitching it up and Williamson, failing to move his feet, only managed an inside edge on to the stumps. Roach peppered Kruger van Wyk with the short stuff, and it looked like another wicket was around the corner. Brownlie couldn't carry on after making a start, edging Ravi Rampaul to the wicketkeeper. West Indies get able to wrap up the innings in just under 12 overs after lunch, after Vettori and Bracewell helped themselves to cameos. Narine went for a few, but picked up his fifth wicket off a bat-pad catch to get rid of van Wyk.
At that stage, it looked as if 351 would still be enough to test West Indies. But Gayle and Powell played superbly to leave visitors in astonishment. Chris Gayle didn't show any nerves or caution after slipping into Test whites for the first time in one and a half years, smashing 85 not out and sharing an unbeaten opening stand of 145 with Kieran Powell to demoralise New Zealand on the second day. The hosts successfully dominated the tourists on the 2nd day with bat and ball.
