Trinidad: The Blackcaps are alive in this Test, with BJ Watling and Mark Craig performing a rear guard action to overtake and pass the West Indies' total at Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
The day was dominated by the home team's bowlers - the Blackcaps spent the day with their backs to the wall, but Watling's mastery of batting with the tail has ensured they've given themselves another chance to fight on day five.
After resuming 166 runs behind at 73-1, there was a desperate need for the in-form pair of Tom Latham and Kane Williamson to push on from their steady start the previous night.
Sadly Latham got one of those simply unplayable deliveries from Sulieman Benn that rocketed up from a foot mark, came off Latham's gloves and was caught by Kraigg Brathwaite at second slip. Latham was gone for 36.
Williamson made steady progress to bring up his 50 before he played at one from Kemar Roach that he didn't need to and was caught by Denesh Ramdin for 52.
Jimmy Neesham continued the capitulation as he fell to a brilliant caught and bowled from the giant Benn stretching low to his right. At lunch the Blackcaps were 129-4, still 110 runs behind.
Ross Taylor looked comfortable and on his way to another big score but he was beaten by a Shannon Gabriel delivery that he had a big drive at but only got a slight touch to which was gloved by Ramdin, departing for 36.
Opener Hamish Rutherford, who missed most of yesterday with a stomach upset, went lbw not playing a shot to Jerome Taylor. This left BJ Watling and the tail chasing 63 runs to make the home side bat again.
Ish Sodhi was undone by the new ball, slashing at a wide one from Roach and sending it through to Ramdin for a catch.
Tim Southee was still happy to take the bowlers on, hitting Gabriel for three boundaries in an over as the Blackcaps endeavoured to make the Windies bat again. He went to a spectacular Kirk Edwards catch at mid off for 15.
Watling and Craig set about overcoming the deficit and avoiding the innings defeat, in the face of some accurate seam bowling from Roach and Gabriel. Despite the odd scare, they played sensibly and overhauled the West Indies' total to ensure they would have to bat again. The pair put on a partnership of 44, and saw out the last overs through the extended last period to frustrate Ramdin and his bowlers, ensuring they'll be lacing up the boots for day five.

New Zealand - 221 (Latham 82, J Taylor 4-34, Benn 3-73) and 257-8 (Williamson 52, Roach 3-53)
