5 Talking points from New Zealand's innings win over West Indies

West Indies' brief resistance offers hope

Kraigg Brathwaite offers the visitors a glimpse of hope

After being on the field for nearly 150 overs, West Indies hearts might have sunk, especially after being bowled out for 134 in the first innings. But the visitors showed plenty of resilience on day four when they lost just two wickets in the entire day and finished with just under 200 and with eight wickets.

The performance of the openers in both innings will be something that offers a crumb of comfort for the Windies camp. As will the performance of Shimron Hetmyer, who scored a brilliant half century and survived a fierce spell of fast bowling from the Kiwi pace attack.

While the collapse, which was inevitable finally came through, the visitors still have a silver lining to take from an innings defeat.
