You got to feel for Santner! Captaining the team for the first time! He won his first coin-toss and opted to chase. The Kiwis made a few changes to their side and so did West Indies. There was a slight delay at the start due to rain but we eventually got to the middle. But after just 14 balls, rain returned and well, it never went away. And eventually. the players had to shake hands. New Zealand take the series 2-0.
Yes! The final word has arrived! After just 2.2 overs of play, the game has been ABANDONED!
UPDATE 2120 local (0820 GMT) - The umpires are having a word with the groundsmen. Once again the umbrellas are out which means it is still RAINING! Things look really bleak for even a 5-over shooter now.
James Neesham is caught for a quick chat! Tells that it is a bit frustrating but adds it is the case of staying switched on. Adds that he is happy to be 2-0 up. Tells that the batters have done really well but there areas to work for the bowlers. Mentions that he is pleased to play in front of the crowd. Ends by saying that he is looking for he Australia series.
Update 2045 local (0745 GMT) - The umpires are out in the middle but their umbrellas which means it continues to drizzle. Not good signs right now. The wait continues.
Update 2035 local (0735 GMT) - Well, the drizzle has returned and our waiiting game is extended a bit for sure. Also, we have started to lose overs as well.
Update 2100 local (0800 GMT) - We wish we could bring you some good news but unfortuantely that is not the case as it continues to rain. The cut-off time is 2148 local so we have another 48 minutes to get at least a 5-over game. Let's pray we get some action in this one.
Update 2015 local (0715 GMT) - We have some very good news! The rain has stopped and knowing the drainage facility here, we should get started sooner. Hopefully we won't have any other interupptions and the rain gods will stay away from this exciting clash.
UPDATE 1947 local (0647 GMT) - Nothing much to update as it continues to drizzle! The covers are on. Stay tight and wait for the next update.
UPDATE 1918 local (0618 GMT) - Not the sight we like to see. The rain has started to gather pace and the players are walking off the field. It looks pretty heavy but let's hope it stops as soon as possible and we have action back again sooner rather than later. It looks like it will be a stop-start evening.
2.2Hamish Bennett to Kyle Mayers. no run, Play and a miss! Short and wide outside off, Mayers throws the kitchen sink at it but connects with only thin air.
2.1Hamish Bennett to Kyle Mayers. no run, Sharp bouncer to begin! Mayers looks to pull but misses.

End of over 2 ( 13 Runs )WI 25/1 1.6Lockie Ferguson to Andre Fletcher. no run, In the channel outside of, Andre lets it be. End of a successful first over for Ferguson. 13 runs and a wicket off it.
1.5Lockie Ferguson to Andre Fletcher. FOUR, EDGY FOUR! Ferguson is unlucky here but he is not too far away from another wicket here. A length ball outside off, Fletcher looks to defend but the ball comes back in and takes the inside edge. It goes to the left of the keeper who dives to that side but still fails to get there. Fletcher is off the mark with a streaky fashion.
1.4Lockie Ferguson to Kyle Mayers. 1 run, On the pads, flicked towards mid-wicket for one.
