A dramatic West Indies batting collapse gave New Zealand victory by an innings and 67 runs in the first Test on Day Four yesterday. The West Indies lost their last five wickets for just 33 runs in nine overs after lunch to give New Zealand victory with more than a day to spare. The domination was set up by New Zealand winning the crucial toss and rolling the tourists for 134 on a green wicket before replying with 520 for nine declared as the pitch flattened out.
