Pulled it off

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

On par with the best

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

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

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

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
