West Indies v New Zealand: Stephen Fleming's Kiwis win the toss and elect to field in their first Super 8 game
The hosts start slowly, making only 14 by the time they lose Shivnarine Chanderpaul to Shane Bond in the eighth over
Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan respond well and put on 52 before the latter is caught by Brendon McCullum
Marlon Samuels makes only a fleeting appearance before Gayle plays on when well placed for a half century
He becomes Jacob Oram's third victim of the innings as New Zealand reduce their opponents to 81-4 during the 23rd over
Brian Lara and Dwayne Bravo show signs of promise but fall within three overs of each other as West Indies limp to 150
The next three wickets go for 26 runs as spinner Daniel Vettori cleans up all but one of the tailenders
The final wicket of Corey Collymore goes to Bond, who also takes three, as West Indies total an unimpressive 177 all out
New Zealand's reply gets off to a bad start with Peter Fulton being bowled out by Daren Powell before a run is scored
Powell strikes again in the ninth over, getting Hamish Marshall to play into the hands of Lara at mid-off for 15
Fleming and Scott Styris appear to have things under control until the latter gives a late call and sees his captain run out
Undeterred by this, Styris continues to defy Lara's bowlers and brings up his half century off 72 balls
He and Craig McMillan go on to build a 102-run partnership as they complete a seven-wicket win early in the 40th over
