Record-breaking Guptill double ton mauls West Indies

Martin Guptill's record-breaking double century saw New Zealand pile up a colossal 393 for six against the West Indies in their World Cup quarter-final at Wellington Stadium on Saturday.
Guptill's unbeaten 237, his second successive three-figure innings in the tournament, was the highest score by any player in a World Cup match.
It set an imposing target for the West Indies to chase down if they were to play South Africa in a semi-final in Auckland on Tuesday.
Australia and India have already qualified for the second semi-final in Sydney two days later.
For New Zealand, Guptill's innings showed they have more in their armoury other than captain Brendon McCullum's gung-ho approach after the explosive opener fell for a cheap 12.
Fellow opener Guptill -- dropped on four by Marlon Samuels -- took up the challenge to keep the scoreboard moving and surpassed the previous World Cup best of 215 set by the West Indies' Chris Gayle against Zimbabwe earlier in this tournament.
He also posted the second-highest individual score in all one-day internationals, behind Rohit Sharma's 264 against Sri Lanka in Kolkata last year, and broke his own New Zealand record of 189 not out against England at Southampton in 2013.
As Guptill chewed up the weakening West Indies attack, he hit 24 fours and 11 sixes from 163 deliveries faced.
He brought up his 200 driving Andre Russell for four and received a standing ovation as he raised his bat in salute.
Guptill's onslaught set New Zealand up for a big charge at the end with the final 10 overs producing 153 runs to further deflate the West Indies after McCullum won the toss and opted to bat.
As the run-rate mounted once Guptill had cruised past the century mark in the 35th over with a single off Samuels, the zip went out of the West Indies' fielding.
Guptill put on 62 with Kane Williamson (33) and was then joined by Ross Taylor (42) in a significant 143-stand in 135 balls for the third wicket.
In the closing overs, Guptill and Grant Elliott (27) took 19 balls to add a further 55, and the West Indies appeared powerless to stop the boundary battering.
Guptill's stunning assault saw him hit a huge six off a Russell full toss over mid-wicket and on to the roof of the 'Cake Tin', with Craig McMillan, now New Zealand's batting coach, the only other man to have performed the feat.
Guptill had struggled for form in recent times, and was a questionable inclusion in New Zealand's squad. But he has since silenced his critics with a fine run of form.
He hit his first half-century of the World Cup with 57 against Afghanistan and then followed with 105 against Bangladesh before becoming the first New Zealander to score back-to-back World Cup centuries with Saturday's stunning innings.
Guptill had a life in the opening over with the first of two spilt catches by the West Indies.
Two balls after driving Jerome Taylor to the boundary with the first ball of the innings, he was dropped by Samuels at square leg.
Taylor was guilty of missing a caught-and-bowled offering from Williamson on two.
However, Taylor finished with the best figures for the West Indies of three for 71, while Russell took two for 96.
