Ton-up Ramdin, Chanderpaul rescue West Indies

HAMILTON, Dec 19:
A gutsy 200-run partnership between Denesh Ramdin and Shivnarine Chanderpaul rescued the West Indies from a perilous position today as the tourists battled to 289 for six on the first day of the third Test against New Zealand.
Ramdin was dismissed just before the close for 107 to end a sixth-wicket stand that lifted the score to respectability after another Calypso collapse had seen the team slump to 86-5 soon after lunch.(Agencies)
