New Zealand opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
Guptill ( 71) and skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 (60), had shared a valuable stand of 103 for the third-wicket after the loss of two early wickets.

The day ended with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441 occupying the crease having posted a combined 11 on the board. Guptill, who was run-out, courtesy a direct throw by Tino Best, was left disappointed with his side’s performance.
