Overview

  • West Indies closed on 457-6 chasing 531, the second-highest fourth-innings total in time-limited Tests.
  • Justin Greaves batted 388 balls across roughly nine and a half hours for an unbeaten 202, a rare fourth-innings double century.
  • Shai Hope's 140 anchored a 196-run stand with Greaves before Kemar Roach added an unbeaten 58 in an unbroken 180-run seventh-wicket partnership.
  • New Zealand lost seamer Nathan Smith to a side strain and had Matt Henry curtailed by a calf issue, then ran out of reviews on late calls.
  • Both sides collected four World Test Championship points, with the rematch scheduled in Wellington next week pending fitness checks for the hosts.
