Deonarine moved from 54 to 79 before he was bowled by Chris Martin with the total on 497 and then, after Sunil Narine had come and gone for four, the big-hitting Sammy made exactly 50 - his third Test half-century - with four fours and three sixes.


Sammy was the penultimate man out, falling caught and bowled to Daniel Vettori with the score on 516, before Doug Bracewell trapped Ravi Rampaul leg before for one to wrap up the innings and bring about the lunch interval. At the time of going to press, New Zealand were 47 for one in the second essay.u00a0
