* Update - correcting Chase's score

The West Indies have moved to 175 for four at tea on the opening day of the second cricket test against New Zealand in Wellington.

Captain Roston Chase is 29 and Justin Greaves is 10.

The visiting batters continued steady progress as the hosts scrambled to find a genuine bowling spearhead.

Blair Tickner was the best contender with two lbws before lunch, after which he broke the promising Shai Hope-Roston Chase fourth-wicket stand at 60.

He has figures of three for 27 from 11 overs.

Hope gloved a menacing short ball into the cordon where Kane Williamson pouched a dolly - he exited for 48.

Michael Rae also experienced the thrill of a maiden test wicket, luring John Campbell into an edge via a good length ball on 44.
