Anderson finished not out 20 with Taylor on 16, and a Test that at one stage looked as if it would be over in four days instead petered out to a draw on the fifth.

The New Zealand top order failed to read spinner Shane Shillingford, who was inconsequential in the first innings but produced exceptional figures of four for 26 off 15 overs on a well-worn pitch in the second.

He struck first in the last over before lunch when wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin snapped up a sharp catch down the leg side to remove Peter Fulton. Umpire Paul Reiffel turned down the appeal, but on review it showed the New Zealand opener had a faint touch.

After lunch Aaron Redmond (six) turned Shillingford into the hands of Narsingh Deonarine at leg slip and Hamish Rutherford (20) was lured into a favourite heave shot that went straight to Shannon Gabriel waiting at long on.

Brendon McCullum was unable to produce his century-making first-innings heroics as he miscued a sweep shot and top edged the ball to Ramdin to be gone for nine. Shillingford then had four for 16.

It was a New Zealand performance far removed from the determination shown in the first innings when they amassed 609-9 declared, led by a career-best 217 not out from Ross Taylor, and whittled the West Indies out for 213.

Sammy was saved from being dismissed on 57 when he showed deft football skills to kick away a delivery from Boult that had ballooned off the bat and was dropping down on the stumps.
