An unbeaten double century from Justin Greaves, 140 from Shai Hope, and fighting fifty from Kemar Roach have saved the West Indies from defeat in the first Test against New Zealand in Christchurch.
The tourists finished the day at 457/6 to save the Test match, the highest fourth innings total in history outside of the 654/6 England made in the famous timeless Test match of 1939 against South Africa in Durban.
The draw also delivers the tourists their first points in the new World Test Championship cycle after five defeats to begin the campaign.
The teams travel to Wellington for the second Test, beginning on 10 December.
