In the absence of BJ Watling, there was an added responsibility on Colin de Grandhomme's shoulders to provide some runs in the lower middle-order and ensure that New Zealand's tactics of going in with just three front-line bowlers didn't backfire.
His maiden Test century, which came off 71 balls and was the fastest against the Windies in Tests, second-fastest by a Kiwi batsman and the 10th fastest in Test history, put New Zealand in complete command of the game. He came in with the score at 272/5 and left when the lead was almost 300.
