Kyle Jamieson took his second five-wicket train When New Zealand broke through the West Indies batting team on the second day of the second test at the Basin Reserve, leaving the visitors in distress between 8 and 124 at the end of the game.

Giant Kiwi Quick, who is 203 cm tall, left the Windies on the ropes with an exhibition on swing bowling.

The tourists ended the day staring at the prospect of another sequel as they battled their way on 8/124, still 336 behind New Zealand’s 460.

Jamieson got 5/34 for his second five-wicket move in just his fourth Test to cement his status as a rising star in Test cricket.

His best career so far has been 5-45 against India, against which he made his test debut earlier this year.

Jamieson’s eyelash also made fans drool. At 44, 49, 51, and 20 in his first four Test innings, he averaged a batting average of 72.

It was his bowling against the Windies, but it made headlines when an unplayable, settling York Roston Chase made the choice of his wickets.

Jamieson’s stunning start to his testing career has left the cricket world in awe, and many have labeled him a future superstar for the Black Caps.

Jamieson helps home advantage in New Zealand

Only a tenacious Jermaine Blackwood, who defied in the first test at Seddon Park New Zealand to achieve his second test century, offered real resistance to the visitors. He scored 69 points before becoming Tim Southee’s third wicket about 30 minutes ahead of the stumps.

New Zealand had been sacked after lunch, with Henry Nicholls hitting a career high of 174 while Neil Wagner finished his first Test half-century with a combative 66.

Southee sacked Kraigg Brathwaite and Darren Bravo cheaply before Jamieson ripped the heart of West India’s remaining top position in his first game.

He had caught John Campbell on Tom Latham’s second slip for 14 and then bowled Chase for a golden duck.

With his side 4-29, Blackwood was hit on the pad in the hat-trick delivery but not issued by umpire Chris Brown, with TV reviews upheld.

Blackwood survived another check on the next ball with another full swing delivery that shot into his pads.

Jamieson returned at the end of the day to sack Shamarh Brooks, 14, Jason Holder, nine, and Alzarri Joseph for a duck and graduate at 5-34.

“The way the ball moves, we knew things would happen if we got it in good enough areas,” said Jamieson.

“It was just about doing it long enough, and when you do that you tend to get rewarded.”
