Antigua: Jul 29, 2012
New Zealand will aim to force a draw against West Indies at Antigua on day five as they set to resume at their second innings score of 199 for the loss of three wickets, leading by 28 runs.
The visitors were up against it at stumps on the fourth day of their second Test against West Indies at North Sound after two breakthroughs for the hosts left them at 199 for 3, just 28 runs ahead.
Looking to erase a 171-run first-innings deficit, opener Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum strove manfully to move the Black Caps towards positive territory but both fell after taking the tourists to 170 for 1 at one stage in the final session.
