NZ 2nd inns: 23-0 (3 ovs) & 365 vs India 353

McCullum looks to be in aggressive mode as he hits Zaheer through the covers and gets two runs before Tendulkar stops it on the boundary. However, he crashes the next ball powerfully through that region but this time Tendulkar can only watch it cross the boundary ropes.

And immediately Dhoni takes out the third slip and sends him to the cover region. Zaheer switches to round the wicket and immediately hits McCullum on the pads and there is a huge appeal for LBW but it is turned down by umpire Steve Davies. Replays shows that McCullum was lucky to survive that shout as the ball seemed to be heading bang into the middle stump.

Guptill then edges the next ball and it goes between the slips for a boundary.
