Dec 05, 2013

West Indies began the day trailing New Zealand by 542 runs. It was important for both overnight batsmen, Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels, to build a solid platform, but Bravo would be the first to go, dismissed for 40 by Tim Southee•Getty Images

Chanderpaul would fall on 76, with the rest of the West Indies tail chipping in to help them to 213. With a lead of 396, New Zealand decided to enforce the follow-on•AFP

West Indies began the second innings along similar lines as the first. Kieran Powell fell with the West Indies score on 18, caught by Southee off the bowling of Trent Boult•Getty Images

Chanderpaul soon brought up yet another Test fifty, but not before crossing 11,000 runs in the format, becoming only the second West Indian batsman, after Brian Lara, to do so•Getty Images

Kirk Edwards made up for his first-innings duck with some decisive stroke play to reach a fifth Test half-century. Bravo and Edwards were able to add 117 runs for the second wicket as West Indies finished the day on 168 for 2, still 242 runs adrift of New Zealand's score. •Getty Images
