Hay, Conway Fifties and Late Strikes Keep NZ in Control as West Indies Struggle

Hay, Conway fifties and late strikes keep NZ in control on Day 2 of the Basin Reserve Test, with New Zealand carving out a strong position after a disciplined bowling performance and vital contributions from their middle order. The hosts built a 73-run first-innings lead, thanks to half-centuries from debutant Mitchell Hay and seasoned campaigner Devon Conway, and extended their advantage with crucial late-order runs.
