          India tour of New Zealand 2013-14 News

          Pulled it off

          5

          The victory by 40 runs is the joint fifth closest, in terms of runs, in New Zealand's history

          On par with the best

          9

          The match-winning catch by BJ Watling puts him equal with Brendon McCullum for the New Zealand record for most catches by a wicketkeeper in a Test

          Revival

          3

          No. of fifty partnerships for the eighth wicket in fourth innings in India wins. Dhoni and Zaheer added 59 in Durban 2006

          Not quite captain cool

          31.75

          MS Dhoni's batting average in the fourth innings, with a solitary fifty

          Oops!

          First ball with the new cherry gets a wicket. Boult gets it to swing in and hit Rahane's pads, but the umpire's not spotted a big inside edge!

          Hot on the heels

          7

          Record for most catches in an innings by a New Zealand keeper. BJ Watling has four now. He'd taken five against West Indies in Hamilton last December

          Got 'im

          A screamer from Wagner ends Dhawan. Terrific bouncer from around the wicket, made him hop and takes the glove. Just rewards.

          Precious solidity

          2

          There have been only two previous century stands for the third wicket in the fourth innings of an Indian away victory. Will Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan's 126 join them?

          Probing spell

          1-23

          Neil Wagner's nine overs since this morning. He's getting the ball to curl into Shikhar Dhawan quite nicely

          Ton up!

          Six, four and four! Dhawan blitzes through the nineties and into his second century in Tests

          Upping the ante

          59-0

          Scoreline for the second hour of play this morning. Ten fours and only two maidens in the 15 overs

          Partnership machines

          261

          No. of 3rd-wicket fifty-partnerships for India, including this one between Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, 85 of those have ended up in winning causes
