India 1st inns: 168-4 (46 ovs) vs NZ 1st inns: 365

The crowd cheering for Raina, who is one away from his half-century. It will be a major milestone for the youngster, who has struggled to make a mark in Tests, despite achieving so much success in limited overs cricket.

He is very nervous at the moment and focussing that much extra to get that run and complete his half-century. But Boult keeps him tied to the striker's end and make him wait for the fifty a bit longer.

Raina completes his half-century in Patel's next over as he takes two runs to the vacant thirdman region. It took the left-hander 79 balls to complete the landmark and played an important part in India's recovery.
