India 216-3d (49 ovs) & 557-5d vs NZ 299 | Scorecard


With the spinners going for runs, New Zealand bring in fast bowlers from both ends.

Rahane gives Neesham the charge who drops it short but the batsman is unable to make connection. He drives the next ball through the off-side for a beautiful boundary through the covers. Pujara steers the last ball of the over behind square on the off-side for a couple to move to 92 as India's score crosses 200, in the 47th over.

Rahane and Pujara collect four singles from Henry's next over as the lead swells to 466.

Pujara completes his first century of the series after three fifties with a four off Neesham.

A well deserved century for the right-hander as he pulls a short ball from the pacer through square leg for a four.

And soon India declare their second innings on 216-3 in 49 overs, setting New Zealand a huge target of 474 runs to win the match.
