WI take slim lead

New Zealand will start their second innings in deficit by 24 runs after the West Indies were dismissed for 317 at tea on the third day of the third Test at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday.
Neil Wagner, whose wickets of Darren Bravo and Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the morning session were critical to the Black Caps' effort in limiting the Caribbean team's first innings' progress, added the scalp of Sulieman Benn to finish with the best figures of four for 64.
Brendon McCullum's side had aspirations of actually earning a minimal first innings lead when Trent Boult made good use of the second new ball, trapping West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin leg-before for 45 and dispensing with new batsman Kemar Roach to a catch at the wicket to reduce the hosts to 277 for seven.
