Rain wrecks one-dayer in Auckland

Martin Guptill
Guptill, 22, smashed 122 not out on his debut for New Zealand

The fourth one-day international between New Zealand and West Indies was abandoned because of rain after a sparkling debut from Martin Guptill.

West Indies were 64-0 in the 11th over, in reply to New Zealand's 275-4, when the match was called off because of a second rain delay in Auckland.

Guptill, 22, batted through the NZ innings to end 122 not out, the second highest debutant score in an ODI.

The series remains 1-1 and will be decided by Tuesday's match at Napier.
