11.21am New Zealand have wrapped up this innings within the fifth over of the morning. Will they enforce the follow-on? The Basin Reserve has seen some epic third-innings rearguards over recent years, but New Zealand's lead of 329 should encourage them to enforce the follow-on. They do.

Southee to Gabriel, OUT, this time Southee doesn't miss. Finishes with a well-deserved five-for with a full ball, scrambled seam, which is angling well down the leg side, but Gabriel is also backing away. Looks to flick and misses, and the ball ricochets off his pad onto the stumps

Southee to Gabriel, no run, wow. That is the wildest of swipes. Length ball, just about bouncing over the top of leg stump, and he backs away and swings hard, aiming through square leg, and misses

Southee to Gabriel, 2 runs, full on off stump, and he clears his front leg and makes enough contact with this hoick to clear mid-on

Southee to Gabriel, no run, appeal for lbw as Gabriel misses a flick off a full one, but it's angling down leg, and isn't straightening enough to make up for the angle

Boult to CK Holder, no run, another bouncer, and Holder ducks it to leave Gabriel on strike

Boult to CK Holder, no run, that is quite a leave. It's almost blockhole length and swinging back after angling across, and Holder hasn't covered his stumps at all, but he leaves, and the ball rushes past off stump

Boult to CK Holder, no run, sharp bouncer over leg stump, and Holder ducks low to get under it

Boult to CK Holder, 2 runs, full on off stump, gets his front foot out of the way and connects cleanly with a drive to the right of mid-off

Boult to CK Holder, no run, another thick edge into the pad. This one's full and leg-stumpish. Gets his front leg out of the way to be able to flick it, but only manages to chop it into his back pad

Boult to CK Holder, no run, full, close to off stump, looks to clear his front leg and drive through mid-off, but only manages a thick inside edge into his pad
Boult continues. Three slips and a gully now.

Southee to Gabriel, no run, full outswinger, nearly a yorker. It's a low full-toss when it swings past Gabriel's flat-footed drive, and then bounces just before missing off stump

Southee to Gabriel, no run, goes for the yorker to greet the No. 11, but it's sliding down leg as Gabriel plays all around it. May have brushed the pad through to the keeper, and there's a mild appeal from New Zealand
Shannon Gabriel is the last man for West Indies.

Southee to Da Silva, OUT, gone, that's a soft dismissal for da Silva. He looked quite at ease in the middle, but Southee produces some indecision with a fullish outswinger in the corridor. Goes to play at it, then pulls his bat away, but leaves it in the ball's path, and it brushes the face of it through to Watling

Southee to CK Holder, 1 run, length ball on the pads, tucked to the left of fine leg. There was a chance of two, but they take just one

Southee to CK Holder, no run, sharp bouncer to follow the full ball, angling in over leg stump, and Holder does well to get his head out of the way while ducking, because it didn't rise all that high
Looks like Wagner bowled that one over just to bring Southee over to this end.

Southee to CK Holder, no run, full outswinger, starts quite wide of off and Holder doesn't have to play at it
Just one over for Wagner. Here's Southee.

Boult to Da Silva, no run, back of a length again, slanting across, and he's nicely on top of the bounce to dab into the cover region, and he wants a quick single but can't get it
The field has come in for these last two balls. Can da Silva find a single somewhere?
