The West Indies kept a flicker of hope alive after battling to close day-four of the opening Test on 212 for four.
New Zealand shorthanded in the bowling department extended their lead to 530 runs...
But with four wickets down Shai (Shay) Hope smashed 116 and Justin Greaves an unbeaten half century.
As the West Indies still need a robust 319 runs on the final day to decide the Test.
