New Zealand v India, 2nd Test, Napier, 5th day


New Zealand 619 for 8 (Ryder 201, Taylor 151, McCullum 115, Vettori 55, Franklin 52) drew with India 305 (Dravid 83, Laxman 76) and 476 for 4 (Gambhir 137, Laxman 124*, Tendulkar 64, Yuvraj 54*)
  • Laxman was in the middle walking the talk and helped India pull off a great escape with his 14th Test century.
  • Along with an epic from Gauti, the last of India's veteran trio had helped India inch their necks in front before Yuvraj Singh's carefree hand cracked a tired attack.
  • India's batting efforts in the second innings, spanning 180 overs, ensured a draw and a 1-0 lead going to Wellington Friday.
