Pujara, Gambhir extend India's lead on Day 4

October 11, 2016 10:35

India 50-1 (18 ovs) & 557-5d vs NZ 299 | Scorecard

Gambhir looks keen to get going as he smashes a wide delivery from Henry through the point region for the first four of the day followed by two singles.

In the next over, Pujara is beaten by one from Santner which grips and turns as the right-hander looks to play the drive.

In the spinner's next over, Gambhir gets a lifeline as wicketkeeper BJ Watling puts down an outside edge. A few deliveries later, Pujara plays a shot usually not associated with him as he paddle sweeps it fine past the short fine leg fielder for a four.

After 20 overs, India have reached 58 for one stretching their overall lead to 316 runs.
