India 379 (Tendulkar 62, Harbhajan 60, Dhoni 52, Martin 4-98) and 434 for 7 dec (Gambhir 167, Laxman 61, Dravid 60, Dhoni 56*) drew with New Zealand 197 (Zaheer 5-65) and 281 for 8 (Taylor 107, Harbhajan 4-59)
- Weather and Taylor's ton defied India as the third Test ended in a draw with the Kiwis eight wickets down
- Zak had bowled just one delivery with the second new ball when the rain forced the players off the field 20 minutes after lunch, and they wouldn't return.
- India were left to reflect on three dropped catches, while New Zealand might have argued that they were due a bit of luck after two decisions went against them.
- The draw might have been an unsatisfactory result, but it still sealed a first Indian series win in New Zealand in 41 years.
