Live Scoring: New Zealand v Windies
Three wickets fell in the middle session, two of them two to Miguel Cummins, including Kane Williamson for 54, in a venomous onslaught.
But the West Indies did not help their cause with sloppy fielding and dropped catches by Shane Dowrich and Shai Hope.
At tea, New Zealand were 190 for five in their second innings with Taylor on 56 and Colin de Grandhomme on 12.
The West Indies highest total in three test innings so far on tour was 319 in their second bat of the first test which they lost by an innings.
After Trent Boult took two wickets in two balls to end the West Indies first innings at 215 early Monday, 152 in arrears, New Zealand progressed to 96 for two at lunch.
But between lunch and tea they lost three for 94 with Williamson the first to fall after adding only three to his score.
