Ahmedabad Test, day five: Harbhajan Singh's century helps India pull off a draw against New Zealand in the 1st Test, IND-NZL:0-0(3)
Nov 8, 2010
Harbahjan Singh scored his first ever century in international cricket against New Zealand today, saving India from defeat and also earning the 'Player of the Match' title. After India's batting line-up collapsed, with seven of the batsmen getting only single-digit scores, Laxman and Harbhajan took India's total which was at one time 15/5 to 228/7. VVS Laxman also helped India's score with 91 runs before he fell LBW to Vettori even after he got a thick inside edge on a forward defensive poke. Zaheer Khan also left in a similar fashion in the very next ball, with umpire Steve Davis playing the kill joy. However, Harbhajan shrugged off the double setback by waltzing down the wicket to launch Vettori over wide long-off for six and reach his century in the ultimate style. It came from 165 balls with 10 fours and two sixes. New Zealand scored 22 runs for loss of a wicket in 10 overs in their second innings. Zaheer removed Tim McIntosh for a duck, the Black Caps opener completing an unwelcome pair.All eyes now on the 2nd test that will take place at Hyderabad from Nov 12 to 16.
India 487 and 266 (Martin 5-31, Harbhajan 115, Laxman 91) draw against New Zealand 459 (Williamson 131, Ryder 103, McCullum 65, Taylor 56) and 22/1
Ahmedabad Test, day four: Five-for Martin helps New Zealand wrest initiative
Nov 7, 2010
New Zealand pacer Chris Martin bowled superbly on an unhelpful pitch to demolish the top order and leave India with a fragile lead of 110 and six wickets down in their second innings on Sunday. His victims included Sachin Tendulkar as he took 5-25 to leave the home side on 82-6 at the end of the fourth day's play, a lead of only 110 runs.Earlier, 20-year-old Kane Williamson became the youngest New Zealander to score a century on his Test debut. He made 131 out of a total of 459, Pragyan Ojha taking 4-107 for India.
