642 - minutes Gautam Gambhir spent at the crease -- the seventh longest innings by an Indian, second longest outside the subcontinent and longest in New Zealand.
476 - for four declared -- India's total. It is their third highest total following-on after the 657-7 against Australia at Calcutta in 2000-01, and 510 against England at Leeds in 1967.
120 - runs added by VVS Laxman and Yuvraj Singh for the fifth wicket -- their second highest partnership for the fifth wicket on New Zealand soil.

5.90 - RpO (runs per over) during the Laxman-Yuvraj unbroken partnership of 120 runs. This is now the fastest fifth-wicket century partnership for India against any country.
