Jamieson swings NZ to the top

Kyle Jamieson bagged five wickets in a masterclass of swing bowling as New Zealand struck hard and fast to have the West Indies on the ropes on day two of the second Test in Wellington on Saturday.

The tourists ended the day on the brink of another follow on as they struggled to 124 for eight, still 336 behind New Zealand's 460.

The Basin Reserve strip continued to provide all the ingredients on a fast bowler's wish list -- pace, bounce and movement -- and New Zealand exploited this perfectly. The New Zealand quick quartet -- Southee, Trent Boult, Neil Wagner and Williamson -- immediately extracted life from the wicket.

"It's cool to be part of a four-pronged attack but I [consider] myself very much the fourth prong," Jamieson said. "You look at Tim, Trent and Wags and the way they've gone about their business in the last [decade] and it's been nothing short of world class.

"To firstly be in the environment around those guys you learn so much and to come on and bowl off the back of what those guys are doing, it makes my job a little bit easier. I just find myself very fortunate to play in the same team as those guys."

Jamieson closed the day with the wickets of Jason Holder for nine and Alzarri Joseph without scoring to have figures of five for 34. Southee has taken three for 29.

Only Jermaine Blackwood provided any serious resistance but he fell late in the day for 69 as Jamieson and Tim Southee wreaked havoc.
