Vettori: We are looking forward to Test series. It should be competitive. Thanks to the crowd for coming in." And he adds with a smile, "Some of you supported us!" ha! Huge Indian-dominated audience there.

I Sharma to Guptill, FOUR, Majestic pull to bring up the win. It was the bouncer and Martin Guptill stood up tall to unfurl a spanking pull. New Zealand have won the game and by doing that, have made everybody look forward to the Test series.

I Sharma to Guptill, SIX, Guptill take a bow. Bloody entertaining way to bring up your fifty. He moved his front foot out and biffed the full length delivery over wide long-on. The white ball kept sailing into the night sky.
