Finally the Kiwi innings ends. Rain meant a reduced game so after 23 overs New Zealand posted 131 but DLS will add a few more on for West Indies to chase. Ross Taylor top-scored with 47 while Henry Nicholls added a handy 18 from nine deliveries. Hopefully the rain stays away and we will have a climax to this final ODI.

Unfortunately rain has called a halt to proceedings. It doesn't look heavy so the players should be back on soon.
The rain stayed around a lot longer than people thought and it has meant that we have lost a few overs. It is now a 33 overs a side game which means New Zealand have 14 overs left to try and get as many runs as possible.

Hopeful review but it was never going to be overturned. A comprehensive victory for New Zealand and they whitewash West Indies 3-0 in the ODI series. The bowling attack was dominating and having Windies 9-5 the win was never in doubt. West Indies managed to scramble to 99-9 but at no point did they look like chasing down the total. All eyes now turn to the T20s which should be a more even contest with the Windies having their star players back. See you then.
