The West Indies batsmen are already looking to their second innings and playing a more patient game after finding themselves in trouble in the second cricket Test against New Zealand in Hamilton.
The tourists, down 1-0 in the two-match series, will start day three at 8-215, still 158 behind New Zealand's first innings of 373.
Their batsmen have remained aggressive throughout the series, looking to play their shots early in their innings.
Only stand-in captain Kraigg Brathwaite has fashioned any innings of length - he was out for 66 on day two.
Raymon Reifer, playing in his first Test, has played easily the most patient hand so far, 22 not out off 82 balls.
They were looking to fight over the next three days to stay in the game, he said.
"It's just the way most of our guys play," he said of his side's batting attitude.
"We could probably just bat a bit more time and get in because obviously it's different to our surfaces back home."
Play at Seddon Park will start at 10.30am this morning to make up for time lost to rain on Sunday.
