Last three wickets falling in no time but West Indies have a sizeable lead. New Zealand will have a mini session of 25 minutes to survive till tea.

Sri: "Good grief, people, Sodhi is only 21 years old and this is only his 8th test! Give him a break. Not every leg-spinner can be Shane Warne out of the gate. Though the Kiwi cricket board might do well and hire Warnie to coach this lad."

RH: "Ish Sodi is playing because he takes wickets at critical junctures; please open your eyes beyond ...."

Joel: "Not even Warne can be Warne out of the gate. By his 8th test he had 3 innings of over 100 runs with 0 or 1 wicket."
