Hope keeps Windies' door ajar in Christchurch
An unbeaten century from Shai Hope has given the West Indies reason to believe in a day five miracle in the first Test against New Zealand
A New Zealand team with a crowded medical ward has been unable to finish off West Indies on the fourth day of the first Test after setting the tourists 531 to win.
Shai Hope led the resistance on Thursday with his fourth Test century in an unbroken partnership of 140 with Justin Greaves which began when New Zealand captured four wickets relatively quickly in the second session.
At stumps, Hope was 116 not out, Greaves 55 not out and West Indies 4-212, trailing New Zealand by 319 runs in Christchurch.

West Indies 167 and 212 for 4 (Hope 116*, Greaves 55*, Duffy 2-60) trail New Zealand 231 and 466 for 8 dec (Ravindra 176, Latham 145, Roach 5-78) by 319 runs
A depleted New Zealand attack – effectively reduced to just two-and-a-half frontline bowlers – was made to toil as a defiant West Indies rearguard stretched the contest into a fifth day on an increasingly docile Hagley Oval surface.
Forced off the field on day three by an eye infection, Shai Hope returned with sunglasses under his helmet to compile an unbeaten 116. It followed his first-innings 56 and marked his second century in three innings, a seamless extension of the defiance he showed while stonewalling India for long periods in New Delhi in October.
