West Indies, NZ Test ends in draw


DUNEDIN: The first Test between New Zealand and the West Indies ended in a draw after rain washed out the final day here Monday. With New Zealand on 44 for two in their second innings at close of play, the match had already appeared destined to end all-square after many hours were lost to rain earlier in the match. Earlier, the West Indies scored 340 in their first innings, including a quick fire 106 from number eight Jerome Taylor, in reply to New Zealand's 365. All of Friday was washed out and part of Saturday was lost to the wet weather. The second Test will be played in Napier from Friday, with top allrounder Jacob Oram a doubt for the home side.
