Windies restrict Kiwis

Kraigg Brathwaite and Chris Gayle led West Indies to 32/0, a deficit of 261 runs, at the end of the first day in the third and deciding Test against New Zealand here on Thursday

.

Brathwaite, man of the match in the second Test in Trinidad following his maiden century, finished on 11 while Gayle was 18 not out after almost being run out for a duck and then smashing a straight six.

The visitors were bowled out for 293 after wasting a succession of starts by their middle-order batsmen and the needless run-out of all-rounder Jimmy Neesham when he looked to have seized back the momentum.
