West Indies Captain Jason Holder Delays New Zealand's Victory Charge In 2nd Test

By IANS News December 13, 2020 • 12:19 PM View: 852

West Indies captain Jason Holder on Sunday scored a gritty, unbeaten half century to stall the inevitable and frustrate New Zealand's victory charge in the second and final Test at the Basin Reserve.

Before Stumps on Day 3, Holder had played a defiant 60* run-knock to ensure the match would go into day four. Play was called before the scheduled time due to bad light, and will resume earlier on Monday. At the close of day's play, the visitors were placed in a precarious position at 244/6 in their second innings, still trailing by 85 runs.
