New Zealand have dished out a nine-wicket hiding to the West Indies in the second cricket test in Wellington. 

After bowling the tourists out for 128 after lunch on day three, the Black Caps cantered to the meagre target of 56 before tea, walking off on 57 for one. 

Jacob Duffy finished with figures of five for 38 —his second five-wicket bag in a three-test career— and six for the match.
