All perseverance this NZ side. Puts England's efforts to shame.
McCulluuum!
NZ should declare now. The game's already safe for them. India will need to chase down almost 400 at 5 an over. Not gonna happen. But what can happen is India crumbling under pressure and NZ sweeping this series.
One of the greatest knocks ever. Some have scored more in an test innings but few have done so with their team in such a precarious situation. I think they said it's the longest test innings in terms of time spent at the crease in history.
And there's the declaration after New Zealand achieves its highest ever Test score. Neesham also got the record for the highest Test score by a number eight on debut.
The Indians must be knackered after such a marathon in the field. Hope the bowlers can tear through them.
It's definitely the record for longest time at the crease for a New Zealander. Not sure if it beat the overall record or not. Such a studied, meticulous innings too, and to think McCullum wasn't even in perfect health!
Better drop him for the next test. #BradHodge
