The tourists batted throughout the first session of the final day with captain Chris Gayle falling three short of a double-century before they were eventually all out for 375 on the stroke of lunch.

Requiring an unlikely 312 to win, the hosts reached 220 for five when stumps were called - 92 runs shy of their target with nine overs remaining at McLean Park.

New Zealand's pursuit seemed possible until the controversial dismissal of Brendon McCullum for 19 via the referral system.

The hosts had reached 191 for four, thanks largely to a 74-run blitz by Ross Taylor and Jesse Ryder, when McCullum survived one referral by West Indies captain Gayle.

The skipper was convinced the wicketkeeper-batsman had edged behind to Dinesh Ramdin in the 43rd over, but Rudi Koertzen turned down the initial appeal and his decision was backed by third umpire Mark Benson.

However, two overs later in almost identical circumstances, Koertzen believed contact had been made and raised the finger.

McCullum called for a referral and although replays appeared to show no contact with the bat, McCullum was sent on his way.

The match petered out after that, and with nine overs remaining and a result impossible both teams agreed to call it a day.
