The Fort Worth Press - Conway fifty takes New Zealand to 112-2 in West Indies Test

Conway was 55 not out at the break, cutting and driving to hit eight boundaries, with Rachin Ravindra on five as New Zealand reduced their first-innings deficit to 93 after resuming at 24-0.

Conway and Kane Williamson, who was out just before lunch for 37, steadied the New Zealand innings after captain Tom Latham was bowled by Kemar Roach for 11.

Williamson came to the crease at 36-1 and New Zealand's record run scorer punished some erratic bowling as he hit seven fours in his 46-ball stay.

Conway was given a life when dropped by Shai Hope at leg slip on 28.

The pair had put on 67 for the second wicket when Anderson Phillip bowled Williamson with an unplayable swinging delivery late in the session that took the top of off stump.

New Zealand said that seam bowler Blair Tickner had dislocated his shoulder on day one and would not bowl or field for the rest of the match.

Tickner, who took 4-32 in a career-best effort on Tuesday, was taken to hospital after being injured while fielding and will only bat if necessary.
