[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

West Indies hanging on, 223-4, need only a further 308 runs to win. New Zealand have two bowlers injured, so who knows. Hope 127, Greaves 62, 158 partnership for the 5th wicket.

Currently 390-6, need 140 more, New Zealand only have 2 inexperienced fast bowlers and 2 part time spinners. Might be history being made!

Tremendous effort from the West Indies, albeit against a depleted attack. Chasing 531 they finished on 457-6, Greaves 202*, the second highest fourth innings total in history.

Meanwhile, England's crapness extends to the England Lions unofficial test against Australia A. Bundled out for a paltry 166, Australia A closed on 554-7. Bashir with figures of 25-2-115-0, hardly staking a claim for a return to the test team.
