6.17pm 388 runs in the day with Conway and Latham scoring centuries and setting records. NZ, with a depleted attack, chose to bat WI out, to eliminate the chance of a loss at the risk of not having time to bowl themselves to victory. Questions will be asked of their delayed declaration, but the logic might be that the lack of pace on this pitch sometimes nullifies the issues it throws up – up and down bounce. Campbell and King were able to adjust to balls rising up or keeping low because of it during a tense last hour’s play and go through unscathed. An absorbing final day awaits so please join us again tomorrow bright and early.
WI 43/0 (16 ov, Brandon King 37*, John Campbell 2*, Ajaz Patel 0/0, NZ vs WI live score, 3rd Test, day 4, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, December 18
