The second Test between New Zealand and West Indies started on Friday (December 11) in Wellington.

In the opening day, the hosts rode on Henry Nicholls’ unbeaten 117 to post 294 on the board while the visitors managed to claim 6 scalps.

Among the wickets, it was Will Young’s dismissal that caught everyone’s attention as the West Indies skipper Jason Holder took an outstanding catch in the slip cordon to send him packing.

During the 43rd over of New Zealand's innings, Young edged a Shannon Gabriel delivery in the slip cordon. Holder, stationed at second slip, used his colossal height to good effect and made a quick, low dive on his right to grab the one-handed stunner.

Here’s the video:

For the West Indies, Gabriel was the stand-out bowler on Day 1, claiming 3 wickets by conceding 57 runs in his 18 overs. Chemar Holder (2-65) and Alzarri Joseph (1-65) took three wickets between them.
