New Zealand have lost their last nine wickets for 101 runs. What a comeback from the home bowlers, and that amid their fielders missing so many opportunities. Most of the New Zealand batsman contributing to their dismissals, including the solid Tom Latham, who made his third successive fifty. The pitch had eased out after the first hour, but New Zealand have ceded the advantage Latham had built up for them. There is still some help out there, and West Indies are faced with just under half an hour of batting

michael: "This is shaping up to be a three day match. WI have not shown the ability to take advantage of these matches."

Gids: "Ross Taylor is copying the great Chanderpaul's way of batting with the tail"
