KEY POINTS:

A new test cricket rule has denied Black Cap Daniel Flynn a first test century after tea on day one of the first test against the West Indies in Dunedin today.

The Northern Districts batsman was given not out LBW by Indian umpire Amiesh Saheba, off Chris Gayle's
spin bowling, soon after tea.

But using a new rule which allows either side to 'challenge' an umpires decision three times per innings, the West Indies asked the third umpire to review the decision.

The experienced South African umpire Rudi Koertzen reviewed the TV footage and changed the decision to out, leaving a very disappointed Flynn to depart University Oval for 95.

His dismissal ended a partnership of 59 with Jesse Ryder (31) and left New Zealand at 201 for four half-an-hour after tea.

Flynn played a composed and confident knock in his first test innings at number three, striking 12 fours in a 232 minute stay.

Earlier debutant Tim McIntosh (34) and Ross Taylor (15) spoiled good starts by trying to hit the slow bowlers over the top.

McIntosh's dismissal cut short a promising 87 run second wicket partnership, while Taylor was out on the slog-sweep with the score at 128.

Opener McIntosh made a sound start to his test career, batting New Zealand into a solid position at lunch.

New Zealand were 88 for one at lunch with McIntosh and Flynn compensating for the early departure of Jamie How.

How's lean trot continued when a loose drive was snared by Shivnarine Chanderpaul at point when the opener had scored 10 at a run a ball, including two boundaries through square off the second over of the morning.

How was eager to play his shots after his captain Daniel Vettori won the toss and elected to bat first in clear but blustery conditions.

However, left-hander McIntosh was the antithesis - patiently waiting 38 deliveries before registering his first test runs.

Ironically it was a rare loose stroke that enabled McIntosh to get off the mark in the 11th over, an edged drive off Fidel Edwards over the outstretched hands of fellow debutant Brendan Nash.

McIntosh reverted to type after that indiscretion, and was content to allow Flynn to dominate their stand.

The West Indies opted for a four-pronged pace attack but derived little assistance from a pitch expected to play easier as the match continues.

Spinner Chris Gayle was the pick of the Windies bowlers with three for 33 off 18 overs.

New Zealand suffered a late setback when allrounder Jacob Oram was ruled out with the calf strain he reported before training yesterday.

It is unclear whether the injury will jeopardise Oram's participation in the second and final test which starts in Napier from December 19.

He has been replaced by Kyle Mills while the batting order has been rearranged.

Brendon McCullum will bat up a spot at six and James Franklin is promoted to seven.

Oram's loss is a major blow for the home side after he was sorely missed during the 0-2 test series loss to Australia earlier this month.

The injury-plagued 30-year-old missed the Australian series with a back injury suffered in Bangladesh in October.

New Zealand omitted spinner Jeetan Patel from their team, leaving Vettori as the sole spinner.

The West Indies have chosen two new caps - right arm fast bowler Lionel Baker and Australian-born middle order batsman Brendan Nash, who becomes the West Indies' first white test player since Geoff Greenidge played five tests between 1972-73.
