MOUNT MAUNGANUI, New Zealand, Dec 20, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Kavem Hodge stood firm with 83 for the West Indies on Saturday as they moved to 310-4 at tea on day three of the third New Zealand Test at Mount Maunganui, trailing by 265 runs. Hodge needs 17 runs after the interval for his second Test century having negotiated some tricky moments throughout the day. The West Indies resumed on Saturday at 110-0 and added only one run before Duffy made the breakthrough in the second over of the day. It ended the first West Indies century opening stand since February 2023. Wicketkeeper Imlach was promoted to bat at number four after Shai Hope spent the whole of the second day at the team hotel with illness.
