After three dot balls, Brooks slices one away through point for a single to get off the mark.
Brathwaite sees out the final ball of the over. (WI 55/1)
27th over - Tim Southee will bowl the first over of the day for the Blackcaps with Campbell on strike.
Southee starts with one on Campbell's pads and he flicks him away for four off the first ball of the day.
OUT - What a way to start the day for New Zealand. Southee goes full just outside off stump and Campbell goes with an attack drive, trying to clear the infield but can only find Williamson at mid off. All that hard work last night and Campbell has given it away first up.
Campbell c Williamson b Southee 26 (73)
Shamarh Brooks is the next man in and sees out the final ball of the over. (WI 53/1)

Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of day three of the opening cricket test between New Zealand and West Indies at Hamilton's Seddon Park.
The West Indies will resume play at 49/0, after the Blackcaps decleared on 519/7 during their first innings, just after the tea break.
The Blackcaps' large score was down to Kane Williamson's epic knock as he was dismissed for 251.
After play on day two, Williamson revealed he and his parter, Sarah Raheem are expecting the couple's first child later this month.
