New Zealand in charge of Test

A 165-run second wicket partnership between captain Stephen Fleming and rookie Peter Fulton put New Zealand firmly in control of the second cricket Test against the West Indies here Saturday.
New Zealand were 335 for seven at stumps, a lead of 133 after the West Indies' first innings ended early on the second day for 192.
Fleming and Fulton turned the game around when they arrived at the crease in quick succession with New Zealand rocking at an embarrassing two wickets for three runs. But when Fleming departed for 97, New Zealand had reached 168, and by the time Fulton was dismissed for 75 on the first ball after tea, they were already 15 runs ahead.
Nathan Astle continued the charge and was unbeaten on 65 at the close, his 23rd Test half-century.
The West Indies would have been hoping for a low New Zealand total when Hamish Marshall went on the last ball of Ian Bradshaw's first over and Jamie How was bowled by the first ball of Fidel Edwards' next over.
