We're delighted to take the series NZ skipper Stephen Fleming More post-match reaction

New Zealand cruised to a 10-wicket win over the West Indies in Wellington for a 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Set just 36 to win after bowling out the tourists for 215, they soon knocked off the runs with Hamish Marshall 23 not out and Jamie How on nine.

West Indies have now lost eight Tests in a row, the worst run of results for 85 years by any team other than Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

The final game of their tour begins at Napier next Saturday.

Rain delayed the start of day four for an hour, but once out in the middle only skipper Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Rawl Lewis offered significant resistance for West Indies.

Resuming on 118-4, they lost Dwayne Bravo for seven in the fourth over of play when he hooked Chris Martin to Nathan Astle at square leg.

Denesh Ramdin only managed the same score, despite keeping Chanderpaul company for over an hour, and was finally lbw to spinner Daniel Vettori.

Chanderpaul's three-hour vigil came to an end soon after lunch when he edged Kyle Mills to first slip, where home captain Stephen Fleming claimed his sixth catch of the game.

James Franklin removed Ian Bradshaw for two, but Lewis struck seven boundaries in his 40 before he was caught at mid-wicket off Kyle Mills, who rounded things off by removing Daren Powell for seven for figures of 3-29.

Rawl Lewis did his best to try and save West Indies

TV replays suggested, however, that both Lewis and Powell could consider themselves unlucky as Mills appeared to over-step the crease on both occasions, but the umpires failed to call no-ball.

Fidel Edwards was on a hat-trick after taking two wickets with the final two deliveries of New Zealand's first innings, but did not come out onto the field because of a minor injury as the Kiwis began the task of completing the formalities.

Marshall was in no mood to hang about, square cutting Bradshaw for four and then driving a half volley from Powell to the rope at extra cover.

How joined in with a meaty pull shot to mid-wicket and the end came at the start of the ninth over as Marshall helped himself to two successive fours through the off-side off a dispirited Powell.
