The West Indies will have to make 326 runs if they are to square the series against host New Zealand in the second One Day International (ODI).
Winning the toss, the tourists opted to bowl and got off to a fruitful start before a sixth-wicket stand that began as a recovery and finished in a hail of boundaries, as clean striking from Henry Nicholls and Todd Astle propelled New Zealand to 325 for 6.
