Dunedin, New Zealand: The West Indies trailed New Zealand by 359 runs with nine second-innings wickets remaining at tea on Thursday after being forced to follow on 396 behind on the third day of the first test.
Tim Southee and Trent Boult combined to take seven wickets as New Zealand dismissed the West Indies for 213 at the University Oval in reply to their first innings of 609-9 declared.
Southee then took a catch from Boult's bowling to remove opener Kieran Powell for 14 and leave the West Indies 37-1 in their second innings at tea.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul made 76 in the tourists' first innings, which lasted only 62.1 overs.
Southee took 4-52, Boult 3-40 and leg-spinner Ish Sodhi, playing his first test at home, wrapped up the tail, taking 2-63.
The West Indies resumed Thursday at 67-2, replying to New Zealand's mammoth total which was built around Ross Taylor's unbeaten 217 -- his highest test score -- and Brendon McCullum's 113.
Darren Bravo was out in only the fourth over of the morning, caught by McCullum at gully off Southee for 40 and Marlon Samuels, who used the decision review system to overturn an lbw decision in the third over, was caught by Taylor at first slip off Southee three overs later.
Narsingh Deonarine (15) was also caught by Taylor -- though he needed two attempts to grasp the chance -- in the 38th over, leaving the West Indies 106-5.
Chanderpaul and Dinesh Ramdin (12) added 68 for the sixth wicket in a brief act of defiance during which Chanderpaul reached his 62nd half century in tests and took his career tally of test runs beyond 11,000.
Ramdin fell to Boult with the total 174-6 and Chanderpaul followed nine runs later, also claimed by Boult, to end the West Indies' last realistic hope of avoiding the follow on. Chanderpaul offered no shot to a delivery from Boult which pitched outside off, nipped back and hit him above the pad.
He immediately called for the decision to be reviewed and replays showed the ball was striking the bails, confirming the decision of umpire Paul Reiffel.
West Indies captain Darren Sammy made an unbeaten 27 from 22 balls despite a hamstring injury suffered while bowling on the first day. His difficulty running between wickets led to the run-out of Tino Best for 0.
When Boult dismissed Powell in the sixth over of the West Indies' innings, six wickets had toppled in the two hours between lunch and tea.
