Port of Spain: Determined bowling and careless batting combined to give the West Indies the advantage in dismissing New Zealand for 221 on the opening day of the second Test at Queen's Park Oval on Monday.
Trailing in the three-match series after losing the first Test in Jamaica by 186 runs, the hosts will resume on the second morning at six for one after Trent Boult uprooted the off-stump of experienced opening batsman Chris Gayle during the seven overs the home side faced befrore the close.
Earlier in the day, Brendon McCullum won the toss and chose to put his side in to bat just as he did in Kingston. The skipper and coach Mike Hesson gave the two spinners Ish Sodhi and Mark Craig the nod again, as opposed to bringing in a third seamer.
That meant there was just one change to the Blackcaps starting XI for the match with Hamish Rutherford coming in to open the batting in place of Peter Fulton.
Sadly Rutherford didn't last long as he went for three runs, edging one to Chris Gayle at first slip off the bowling of Jerome Taylor. But fellow opener Tom Latham and Kane Williamson steadied the ship with Latham bringing up his 50 just before lunch.
It was slow progress after lunch as the pair brought up the century partnership, before Williamson tried to hook a bouncer from Shannon Gabriel, but got a top edge and was caught at fine leg for 42.
Latham looked like he might bring up his maiden Test century, but as he was on the verge of his highest Test score he got a thick edge to a Kemar Roach delivery and the tall frame of Sulieman Benn took a great catch in the gully.
Just before the tea break there was high drama with Ross Taylor edging a ball from Roach between the keeper and first slip, and then Kirk Edwards put down the next ball at short mid-on. The visitors went to tea with a big sigh of relief at 159-3.
However, the final session of the day would be a painful one for the Blackcaps, losing their remaining seven wickets for just 62 runs.
McCullum was the first to go, a successful review by Benn trapping him lbw. That brought new sensation Jimmy Neesham to the crease, but an edge on 15 saw him depart early as well.
From that point forward Taylor would see a number of partners come and go in quick succession. He and Southee saw their side past the 200 mark, but soon after, the Blackcaps innings came to a close, with Taylor stranded on 45.
For the West Indies, Jerome Taylor was the best of the bowlers with four scalps to his name, while Benn claimed three victims.
With an under-par total, the Blackcaps were in desperate need of wickets and Trent Boult delivered early. In the third over, Boult ripped Gayle's off-stump from the ground, with the dangerous opener unable to keep out the vicious yorker.
