Daniel Flynn and Tim McIntosh made 50s in a century second-wicket stand on Saturday as New Zealand made a good start to chasing down West Indies first innings on day two of the second Test.
At stumps, New Zealand was 145-2 in reply to the West Indies' 307 at McLean Park, giving the hosts the upper hand in the slow-moving match affected late Saturday by a short rain delay.
Flynn was out for 57 close to stumps, his second half century in Tests after his breakthrough innings of 95 in the drawn first Test.
The left-handed opener McIntosh, a painstaking batsman finding his feet in the Test arena, had reached his highest Test score of 62 not out.
"These two have set a base that our middle and lower order should be able to launch from," New Zealand coach Andy Moles said.
McIntosh will resume Sunday with Ross Taylor (4 not out).
West Indies paceman Fidel Edwards claimed both wickets to have 2-26 by stumps.
