Well that's it. Both captains have decided that nothing will come of the overs remaining and they shake hands and call it a draw.
After 5 days of play the match is drawn but if it wasn't for McCullum's dismissal it would have gone right down to the wire. There has been some stunning individual performances with Chanderpaul, Gayle McIntosh all picking up a ton each with the bat and impressive wicket hauls for O'Brien, Patel and Edwards. The 5th day starting with Gayle standing strong but when he went with a stroke of bad fortune New Zealand cleared up and then proceeded to try and chase down the total in restricted time. They gave it a good attempt with How, McCullum, Taylor and Ryder all attacking the West Indies bowlers.
However, both captains shook hands for a drawn match and the series is drawn 0-0. The Man of the match has been awarded to West Indies captain Chris Gayle for his stunning knock of 197.
Do join us here for the 1st Twenty20 International in Auckland between the two sides which starts at 5.00pm on Boxing Day but for now from me, Callum Stewart it's goodnight.
