New Zealand had won the toss and elected to bat first under overcast skies. The pitch offered some help for the bowlers as it became a tough wicket to bat on due to overnight rains.
West Indian pacers Sheldon Cottrell and Jason Holder sent back the Kiwi top order within the first five overs and left the host reeling at 26 for 3 at one stage.
However, Tom Latham and Ross Taylor played watchfully and shared a vital 73-run partnership before rains stopped play in the first attempt.
After the rain break, New Zealand continued playing before the partnership was finally broken by Windies’ left-arm spinner Nikita Miller, who accounted for the dangerous Latham.
Wicket-keeper Henry Nicholls, continued his good form from the last match.
