Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh took it to the New Zealand bowlers and added a further 20 runs before Harbhajan (16) slashed at one too many and found Daniel Vettori at mid-off, handing Kyle Mills his first wicket of the match. Khan enjoyed two let-offs on his way to a fine half-century that included eight boundaries.
Chris Martin missed one by a mile when the tail-ender was on 22, then Flynn dropped his second of the innings when Khan was on 34. The Indian bowler made the most of it, hitting two successive fours to get himself into the 40s - taking 13 runs off James Franklin in the process - and brought up his third test 50 with a risky single off the same bowler a few overs later that would have resulted in a run-out had the ball not bounced over the wicket. Ishant Sharma lasted just 13 balls before edging one to McCullum off Vettori and the innings was finally wrapped up when Munaf Patel (nine) holed out to Martin at fine leg.
