STUMPS! As expected, there's no improvement in the light situation and the day's play has been abandoned due to bad light.It's official now. Play will start early tomorrow as a result.West Indies will be thrilled with the heart they've shown today, with skipper Jason Holder's 60* vital in forcing the game to a fourth day with West Indies trailing by 85 runs.

New Zealand's pacers looked quite tired towards the end having enforced the follow-on after bowling out WI for 131 earlier in the day. Southee and Jamieson returned five-wicket hauls before Boult and Jamieson stepped up in the second innings. However, a better batting outing for WI meant NZ were denied a win and a series sweep on Day 3.

Thank you for your company today. Do join us tomorrow.

Bad light stops play.Umpires offer West Indies batsmen bad light stoppage and they take it gladly. They're still trailing by 85 runs. 15 minutes to go, if play doesn't resume in that time, that's it for today.

FIFTY FOR HOLDER!Well played, skipper! It's been a tough tour for them but at least they've shown a bit of fight this innings.

Da Silva and Holder have added 50 runs for the seventh wicket with Holder on 47

200 up for West Indies; Holder's going after the bowling.West Indies are trailing by 126 at the moment. Can West Indies hold on long enough to make them bat again?

GONE! Boult may have gone for a few, but he's picked up his third wicket.And it's the big fish - Blackwood! Horror shot from him against an inswinger just to have the poles rattled.Gone for 20 as WI slip further to 173/6.

We're back after tea for the final session

TEA - Although West Indies resisted New Zealand for most parts in the session, New Zealand continued to chip away forcing WI to go into the break at 158/5. Campbell and Brooks led WI's fightback, but a clump of wickets undid their hard work. Wagner broke that 89-run stand after which Jamieson struck in quick succession to get Chase and Campbell. New Zealand need just five wickets for that innings defeat with WI still trailing by 171. Back after the break for the final session.

150 up for West Indies

Dragged on and Campbell's resistance comes to an end.Jamieson is in action once again. Little bit of width and he hung the bat out there, unsure of how to play the angel, only to drag it back on and disturb the stumps. He departs for his highest Test score of 68. WI - 134/5.
