The Windies managed just 107 in reply to the Kiwis' 337 - their third-lowest Test total on home soil. Daniel Vettori claimed four for 27 as West Indies were dismissed in 42.1 overs in their first innings reply, 234 runs behind the visitors. Only three West Indies batsmen - opener Wavell Hinds with 11, Brian Lara with 28 and Shivnarine Chanderpaul with 35 not out - reached double figures as the New Zealand bowlers dominated on a variable pitch. But New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming decided not to enforce the follow on and the tourists lost the wicket of Mark Richardson, caught for a duck by Lara off the pace bowling of Pedro Collins. In the morning, an unbeaten 57 by wicketkeeper Robbie Hart lifted New Zealand to 337 all out in their first innings.
New Zealand's Shane Bond then showed great pace and accuracy to claim Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan in the fifth over of West Indies' reply. Hinds seemed more prepared to play his way into the game but fell for just 11, caught by Craig McMillan. Butler claimed Carl Hooper for six when the West Indies captain played a rash hook that was caught by Tuffey. The loss of top batsman Lara, shortly after tea, left the home side in danger of following on. Lara attempted to drive a Vettori delivery through the covers but chopped the ball back on to his stumps from an inside edge. The left-hander's dismissal left West Indies at 62 for five and Vettori picked up his second wicket in the 31st over when Jacobs mistimed a pull to Nathan Astle on the boundary. Six overs later, Collins was dismissed by fast bowler Ian Butler for eight and the rest of the West Indies innings fell away as Vettori mopped up the tail. West Indies: C H Gayle, W W Hinds, B C Lara, R R Sarwan, S Chanderpaul, C L Hooper (Capt), R D Jacobs (Wkt), M Dillon, P T Collins, A Sanford, D B Powell. New Zealand: M H Richardson, L Vincent, S P Fleming (Capt), C Z Harris, N J Astle, C D McMillan, R G Hart (Wkt), D L Vettori, D R Tuffey, S E Bond, I G Butler. Umpires: R E Koertzen and S Venkataraghavan | |
