06:15pm: West Indies have been bowled out for 167 and New Zealand will be pleased with their effort. Apart from Chanderpaul and Hope's fifties, there wasn't much to speak of. A bit more resistance was needed to keep the game in balance but it's now advantage New Zealand. The visitors lost eight wickets for 67 runs. However, with the fading light and testing conditions for batting, West Indies have an opportunity to pick up a few quick wickets in the next 30 minutes or so

DaWolf: "From 100/2 to 165/10. West Indies batters just not good enough against a moving ball (wasn't even crazy movement either). "

Krishna: "Extremely engrossing test cricket. Both the teams fighting to take the upper hand. It's been an highly entertaining full tour."

Duffy to Shields, OUT, Wrecks the stumps and knocked him over! Gets his first five-wicket haul and wraps the tail, doing the needful with perfection. Landed full on this occasion and the ball deflected off is pads and into the stumps.

Duffy to Seales, OUT, Over the wicket, good length and swings back in, beating his ambitious whack down the ground, left a big gap and the ball goes onto clatter the stumps. West Indies resistence melts away quickly after the rain break.
