Garner had started the touring team's slide in the fifth over when John Wright edged the second ball to wicket-keeper Jeff Dujon. Four balls later Jeff Crowe, attempting to fend off a short delivery, was brilliantly caught by Richardson moving from second slip to gully.
Martin Crowe chopped another lifting delivery into his stumps and captain Geoff Howarth provided a second catch to Dujon.
