West Indies in trouble at lunch against New Zealand

The West Indies have laboured to 71-3 at lunch on day five as they chase a target of 308 to win the third and deciding Test against New Zealand at Bridgetown.

Despite rain halting their progress on day four, New Zealand started the morning session by declaring on 331-7.

With that target in mind, the Windies got off to a poor start at the crease as Kraigg Brathwaite was bowled for six by Trent Boult to leave his side on 7-1 with two overs played.

Kirk Edwards (10) was next to go when Boult struck again before Chris Gayle (11) was dismissed by Tim Southee, putting the hosts on 33-3 after 10 overs.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul (23 not out) and Darren Bravo (22 not out) battled on out in the middle before lunch was taken early due to rain.
