However, that doesn’t matter right now as West Indies gave a tough fight in the last hour by playing without losing any wickets. The openers have to do it again. They have to give a good start if West Indies want to push for the win. A draw is also possible but as the visitors are trailing, expect them to give a tough fight in the final day. Stay tuned.

New Zealand batting coach Luke Ronchi is up for a chat. He praises the team's sustained consistency and elite mindset, how the players have adapted to and enjoyed the batting conditions. Mentions the declaration was a calculated move designed to provide the bowlers with sufficient time to take ten wickets while also denying the West Indies enough time to chase the target.11:00 IST:
New Zealand had a 155-run lead starting the third innings. Dictating the play, the openers started cautiously and scored at a brisk rate. However, once the ball got soft, runs started to come by and eventually, Devon Conway and Tom Latham made history by both scoring centuries in both innings. Both fell right after scoring their tons but having laid the foundation, Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson came in with intent and scored 72 runs off just 37 balls together.10:59 IST:
In the morning session, New Zealand quickly wrapped up the tail. Jacob Duffy led the attack, quickly removing the tail in the first hour and finishing with the figures of 4/86. West Indies were bowled out for 420. Kavem Hodge remained the hero for the visitors, finishing unbeaten on 123.10:58 IST:
A 16-over phase for West Indies to see it off and they have done well to negotiate it without losing any wickets. The pitch has remained true for the batters throughout and despite the odd deliveries bouncing a bit or staying low, West Indies have played well to end the day. However, to level the series, West Indies need 419 runs to win and Day 5 is well set with all three results possible.10:48 IST:
