The Black Caps are battling hard to secure their first Test win against the West Indies in Christchurch, but the West Indies are proving resilient. After setting a formidable total, the Windies have offered stiff resistance, leaving the Black Caps with a challenging task of securing six wickets on the final day for victory.
The Kiwis chose to bat first, and Kemar Roach dominated the lower order, claiming five wickets as neither Nathan Smith nor Tom Blundell were fit enough to bat. New Zealand declared on 466/8, a massive lead of 530 runs.
The Windies faced a tricky period before lunch, but they managed to survive with no losses. However, John Campbell and Tagenarine Chanderpaul were quickly dismissed by Duffy, who sent both openers back to the pavilion shortly after the resumption.
Alick Athanaze was dismissed for just five runs after skying a poor Michael Bracewell delivery, which was caught by Foulks. Matt Henry then had Roston Chase caught behind for four runs.
Shai Hope and Justin Greaves survived until tea at 107/4, and their partnership exceeded fifty. In the final session, Hope brought up his century, and Justin Greaves contributed 50 runs.
The match resumes at 11 am, and you can follow the action as it unfolds on day four.
