NORTH SOUND, Antigua — Opener Martin Guptill hit an unbeaten 42 Saturday as New Zealand, trailing on first innings by 171, began its second innings strongly to post 92-1 at tea on the fourth day of the first cricket Test against New Zealand at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Guptill, following his top score of 97 in the first innings, struck four fours off 91 balls in two hours. Guptill and left-hander Daniel Flynn shared an opening stand of 47 before Sunil Narine made the breakthrough. Off-spinner Narine, who claimed a maiden five-wicket haul in the first innings, took 1-29. Flynn played back to a quicker, straighter delivery and was plumb leg before. Guptill found another solid ally in Brendon McCullum, with the two right-handers adding an unbeaten 42 for the second wicket. McCullum was undefeated on 26 at the interval, having struck two fours off 60 balls. Earlier, the West Indies stretched its overnight 442-6 to 522 before being bowled out on the stroke of lunch. Narsingh Deonarine compiled 79 while captain Darren Sammy supplied a breezy 50. Chris Martin led New Zealand with 3-134, while part-time off-spinner Kane Williamson (2-47) and fellow pacer Doug Bracewell (2-96) also chipped in. — AP
