The West Indies have forced the second Test against New Zealand into a fourth day with a stubborn 74-run seventh-wicket stand at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.

Captain Jason Holder was unbeaten on 60 and Joshua da Silva was 25 not out when bad light stopped play late on day three.
Resuming on Sunday morning on 124-8 in reply to the Black Caps' first innings 460, the Windies could add only seven runs before they were bowled out.
Tim Southee claimed the final two wickets to finish with figures of 5-32 - for his 11th five-wicket bag in Test matches. He joined Kyle Jamieson, whose 5-34 was his second five-wicket haul in three Tests.
Stand-in Black Caps skipper Tom Latham enforced the follow-on, and the Windies looked in all sorts of trouble at 170-6 with only John Campbell (68) providing any resistance.
But Holder and da Silva dug in to frustrate the New Zealand bowlers, and when bad light stopped play an hour early, the West Indies trailed the Black Caps by 85 runs.
Trent Boult, wicketless in the Windies' first innings, was the best of the New Zealand bowlers with 3-75, while Jamieson picked up two more scalps for 43 runs.
Neil Wagner, who contributed an unbeaten 66 in the Black Caps' first innings, grabbed the wicket of Shamarh Brooks for 36 in his 50th Test.
New Zealand won the first test by a record innings and 134 runs in Hamilton.
The victory margin was the largest by New Zealand over the West Indies, surpassing the innings and 105-run win at Wellington's Basin Reserve in 1999.
If the Black Caps win their upcoming two Tests against Pakistan, they'll remain in contention to make the inaugural World Test Championship final at Lord's in June.
