Jamaica: Aug 3, 2012

West Indies have reached a score of 11 runs for no loss of a wicket trailing New Zealand by 249 runs in the second Test at Jamaica on Thursday.

Kemar Roach took four wickets as the West Indies dismissed New Zealand for 260 before stumps on the first day of the second test at Sabina Park on Thursday.

Roach finished with 4-70 and both Tino Best and Narsingh Deonarine took two wickets.

Martin Guptill top-scored for New Zealand with 71 and Ross Taylor contributed 60.

That left the home side having to bat five overs before stumps, which Chris Gayle and Kieran Powell safely negotiated for the addition of 11 runs.

An unbeaten 62 from Guptill earlier helped New Zealand to reach tea on 152 for three.

The hosts, leading the two-match series 1-0, struck two early blows before lunch in restricting New Zealand to 74 for 2 having won the toss and electing to field.

Brief Scores: New Zealand 260 (Martin Guptill 71, Ross Taylor 60; Kemar Roach 4 for 70, Tino Best 2 for 40) lead West Indies 11 for no loss (Kieran Powell 10*, Chris Gayle 1) by 249
