New Zealand won the first Test against West Indies by186 runs after a hectic fourth day at Sabina Park where Mark Craig's dream debut continued.
Opener Tom Latham made 73 of the Black Caps' 156 for eight declared before their bowlers, inspired by Craig's 4-97, ripped into the home line-up, dismissing them for 206 in 47 overs.
The Windies fell to 11 for two, and then 54 for five as they were bowled out in the last over of the extra half-hour after a hugely entertaining last-wicket stand between Shane Shillingford, who hit a 25-ball half-century, and Sulieman Benn.
The win gave the tourists a 1-0 lead with two Tests to go, in Trinidad and Barbados.
Having lost two wickets in the 13 overs bowled the previous evening, New Zealand's struggles continued in the early stages of the morning session as Ish Sodhi, Ross Taylor and Brendon McCullum all fell cheaply as the tourists slipped to 55 for five.
A diligent Latham completed his half-century in the last of 32 overs before lunch as New Zealand reached 93 for five.
But after the restart Jimmy Neesham, Latham and Tim Southee all departed and McCullum declared for the second time in the match with the lead at 402.

Southee made early inroads in the hosts' reply, Kieran Powell drilling a catch to Latham at short midwicket before Gayle was squared up and caught behind for 10.
That was 15 for two at lunch and, in the afternoon, Craig again wasted little time getting himself noticed.
Having taken four wickets in the first innings, the spinner soon had Kirk Edwards, Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels back in the hutch to leave the hosts 54 for five.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Denesh Ramdin fell to Sodhi while Craig returned to snare Kemar Roach and Jerome Taylor.
The extra half-hour was taken for New Zealand to finish the job - but last pair Benn and Shillingford used it for a riotous cameo, racing to a 34-ball fifty partnership featuring four sixes as Shillingford went on to a Test-best 53 not out.
He missed out on equalling Jacques Kallis' record for the fastest Test fifty by just one ball, reaching the mark in 25 deliveries with his fifth six.
But a stand of 82 was ended by part-time spinner Kane Williamson with only two balls to spare, Benn edging to Watling for 25.
Craig's match figures of 8-188 were the best by a New Zealand debutant, beating Paul Wiseman's 7-143 against Sri Lanka in 1998.
