Kane Williamson, Tom Latham Stabilize NZ After Early Setback; Rain Delay Hits 1st Test vs WI.

Christchurch:

New Zealand vs West Indies 1st Test, Day 1 Live Updates: New Zealand begin their World Test Championship (WTC) campaign in the new cycle after a long wait and will be the last to do so, with all other teams having already played at least one series. The Black Caps have been playing a lot of white-ball cricket of late and have done reasonably well despite the absence of some of their regulars but come Tests, Tom Latham and Co will be determined to begin well, building on their success in India last year.

It has been a frustrating start with the rain, but getting a wicket in the first over after winning the toss is a good start for the West Indies, who are yet to win a Test match in the new cycle, into their sixth game. Ojay Shields makes his debut for the Windies, while Kemar Roach has returned and under overcast conditions, it should be a good one. Follow all the live updates-
