The West Indies were 39 without loss in reply to New Zealand's first innings of 365 at stumps on the third day of the first cricket test at University Oval.
The tourists negotiated 14 overs before the close of play, with captain Chris Gayle unbeaten on 29 and Sewnarine Chattergoon on nine.
New Zealand earlier progressed from 226 for four to 365 all out.
Daniel Flynn topscored with 95 on Thursday while Jesse Ryder advanced from 54 to 89 before he fell to paceman Daren Powell today.
Play was washed out without a ball being bowled yesterday while a damp outfield delayed the start today by more than three hours, drastically shortening the two-test series opener.
