He faced 93 balls and struck five fours and a six.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">Blackwood, meanwhile, played with the same freedom that has characterised his form in recent weeks, crunching three fours and two sixes off 57 deliveries.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">The right-hander got off the mark with a streaky boundary through slip off Boult but then lofted the bowler effortlessly over long on in the same over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">Dropped on 11 at short leg by Tom Latham off Craig, Blackwood pressed on unperturbed, nailing one from Sodhi over long off as lunch approached.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">Boult has been the best bowler with three for 53 while Sodhi has taken two for 85.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">New Zealand: 221 (Tom Latham 82, Ross Taylor 45 not out, Kane Williamson 42; Jerome Taylor 4\/34, Sulieman Benn 3\/73, Shannon Gabriel 2\/43)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">West Indies: 396 for seven (Kraigg Brathwaite 129, Darren Bravo 109, Kirk Edwards 55, Shiv Chanderpaul 47, Jermaine Blackwood 31 not out; Trent Boult 3\/53, Ish Sodhi 2\/85)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:12px\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana\">--IANS\/CMC<br \/>\r\nvs\/vd<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
