OUTPLAYED! New Zealand bundle out Windies early after Lunch, picking up a win by an innings and 67 runs.Boult cleans up Cummins, putting an end to the last-wicket 18-run stand.

It was a disappointing finish to a game that promised so much more at the end of Day 3. But all it took was 40 overs for New Zealand's bowlers to bowl Windies out. From 214 for 2 at the start of the day, Windies lost five wickets in 33 runs after Lunch to concede victory in Wellington as New Zealand went 1-0 in the two-Test series.

It all started with Wagner's back-of-the-length bowling in the first innings on a surface that had no much bounce or lateral movement. He sparked a tremendous collapse, en route a seven-wicket haul, that had Windies bundled for 134 before de Grandhomme and debutant Tom Blundell scored their respective centuries to put New Zealand in command with a 386-run lead, batting Windies out of the game.

There was no looking back from there. Thank you for joining us the last 4 days. Some great cricket from New Zealand was on display. Windies have much catching up to do ahead of the second Test which begins on December 8. Do join us then! Goodbye!

OUCH!Cummins gets hit flush on the knee as the pad moves out of the way during his shot, exposing the knee joint. Is on the ground writhing in pain.

WAGNER HAS HIS NINTH!Holder holes out. Takes on Wagner who bowls the short ball, but ends up hitting it straight to Boult, who doesn't drop too many. Nine down; one to go!

ROACH DEPARTS:Eight down. Roach trapped leg before off de Grand homme. Slipping fast now. Roach reviewed the decision that was given out to no avail. Three reds. Gone! Two wickets to go for an innings win.

300 up for Windies.

PUT DOWN:A wicket, three runs and a dropped catch! That's what the second over after Lunch looked like. Raval drops an eaaaaasy one at cover. That's how easy it was. Came straight to him really. Holder couldn't keep the drive down and Raval should've taken that really. Wagner denied of his ninth wicket for the game.
