Hay helps put New Zealand on top in West Indies Test

Mitchell Haye scored an attacking half-century on his Test debut to help New Zealand take a 41-run lead over the West Indies at the end of the match on the second day of the second Test in Wellington on Thursday.
The Black Caps were 278 all out with about an hour to play in the final over after West Indies scored 205 at Basin Reserve.
At stumps, the visitors posted 32-2 in their second innings, with Brandon King (15) and Kavem Hodge (3) at the crease.
Michael Rae and Jacob Duffy took a wicket each as New Zealand cruised past 10 overs in the light.
Hay scored 61 off 93 deliveries, playing with poise in his first taste of Test cricket. He hit nine fours and sixes.
Anderson Phillip was the pick of the away bowlers, taking 3-70 in 13 overs. Meanwhile, Kemar Roach had figures of 2-43.
The 25-year-old Hay reached the crease on 117-4 after Rachin Ravindra, for five, and Devon Conway, who made 60, fell in back-to-back overs just after lunch.
He quickly found his feet at Test level, comfortable with the pace and movement of the Basin Reserve wicket.
Hay and Daryl Mitchell combined for a 73-run partnership for the fifth wicket, with Hay the striker, leaving Mitchell in the unusual position of playing anchor. Mitchell fell just before tea for 25.
Haye finally hugged a ball to Roach in the deep, ending his fine knock. After Hay was dismissed, Zak Foulkes added 23 unbeaten runs but ran out of partners.
Earlier, Conway batted well for his 60 off 108 balls before being bowled leg-by-leg to wicketkeeper Tevin Imlach just after lunch.
Conway and Kane Williamson, who was out near the end of the morning session for 37, stabilized the New Zealand innings after captain Tom Latham was bowled by Roach for 11.
After the hosts went on to 24-0 overnight, Williamson reached the crease on 36-1 and New Zealand’s record run-scorer punished some erratic bowling as he hit seven fours in his 46-ball stay.
Conway was given life when he was dropped by Cy Hope when he slipped on 28.
He took advantage and had put on 67 for the second wicket when Phillip bowled Williamson with a flawless swinging delivery that took the top end.
Blair Tickner dislocated his shoulder on day one and will not play or compete for the rest of the match, the hosts said.
Tickner, who took 4-32 in a career-best effort on Tuesday, was taken to hospital after being injured while fielding and will only bat if necessary.
