STUMPS:Right then, that's that for Day 3. Windies have done exceptionally well to resist new Zealand's attack today. The pitch was wearing out as the day progressed but they remained on top of it, without giving away too many chances. Fortune favours the brave, or so they say, and they survived some DRS calls, some mistimes etc to end the day on 214/2, trailing by 172.

A lot of credit for that needs to be given to Kraigg Brathwaite who led from the front, letting his partners take on the more aggressive roles. He remained unbeaten on 79. The Windies will take confidence from this outing going into Day 4. A lot of work remains in order to save this Test, if that has to be. But for now, they've done all they could on Day 3. Join us tomorroe on Day 4 to see if or not their resistance will continue or New Zealand will find a way to knock them over - after all, they require just eight wickets to win. Or chase in the fourth innings. Thank you for joining us today. See you all tomorrow!
200 up!Brathwaite and Hope march on as Windies bring up their 200, chipping into the deficit nice and steadily. With just eight overs to go, the pair would want to see through the day without losing any wickets so the set pair can continue where they left off from tomorrow.
