A maiden double-century by Darren Bravo stalled New Zealand's victory drive Friday as the West Indies ended day four of the first Test in Dunedin at 443-6, a lead of 47.
After an early morning collapse in which the West Indies slumped to 185-4, the defiant Bravo restored order with a controlled performance to pass the 100 mark for the fifth time in his career and be not out 210 at stumps.
The 24-year-old left-hander added 122 with Narsingh Deonarine for the fifth wicket and 56 with Ramesh Ramdin for the sixth.
By the the close of the fourth day he was sharing an unbroken 80-run stand with captain Darren Sammy on 44 and ensured New Zealand would have to bat again.
The West Indies were forced to follow on after being all out in their first innings for 213 in reply to New Zealand's 609-9 declared.
They resumed the fourth day at 168-2 and lost two quick wickets before producing the tempered performance that was missing in their first turn at bat.
Marlon Samuels was first to fall for 23, caught and bowled by Tim Southee, and four overs later Neil Wagner picked up the prized wicket of Shivnarine Chanderpaul for one.
It was the second time in the match the West Indies senior batsman had been trapped leg before wicket by a left armer after falling to Trent Boult in the first innings.
But after claiming the quick pair of wickets, the New Zealand bowlers lost penetration on a lifeless wicket and the new ball did not bring the sting they wanted.
