NZ score 6-285 in 4th ODI against Windies

Opener Martin Guptill has found form, scoring 81 to help New Zealand score 6-285 in their fourth one-day clash with West Indies.

Opener Martin Guptill struck early for New Zealand with an 81 to help the hosts make 6-285 on Saturday in the fourth one-day cricket international against the West Indies.

Guptill came into the match out of form, having made only six runs in the two completed matches of the ODI series to date.

Guptill took 41 balls to hit his first boundary - a straight six off spinner Nikita Miller which took him from 8 to 14.

But he then shared partnerships of 56 with Jesse Ryder (47), 88 with Kane Williamson (47) and 59 with Ross Taylor (49) to give New Zealand a hefty lead.

The ODI series is locked at 1-1.
