NEW DELHI: Skipper Brendon McCullum crossed 150 mark, stretching New Zealand's lead and taking the total past 300, to leave Indian bowers frustrated on the fourth day of the second Test in Wellington.
The visitors were struggling hard for a breakthrough as McCullum and Bradley Watling stitched the sixth wicket partnership beyond 200.
McCullum pulled the team out of early trouble in the second innings and together with Watling led a brilliant fightback to keep New Zealand afloat after they lost their five wickets for just 94 runs.
The pitch on offer on Sunday at the Basin Reserve was a far cry from the juicy green surface of the first day and was a perfect platform for New Zealand to wipe out the huge deficit after India made 438 in their first innings in reply to the hosts' 192.
