Guptill survived a plumb leg before of the first ball he faced, but came back strongly and scored useful 41 off 28 balls.
None of the Indian bowlers could take wickets at crucial times of the game. Zaheer and Harbhajan bowled economically, but not able to break partnerships often.
Earlier, poor batting by Indian batsmen pushed them to 82 for 6. Yousuf Pathan hit 3 continuous success of Nathan McCullum but got out when he tried hit the fourth. SK Raina who came in as number 3 batsman stayed till the end of the innings and was the highest scorer for India with 61 off 43 balls with 5 sixes and two fours.

3rd Test: England Win Series in Style! Beat New Zeland by an Innings and 9 Runs!
In the third and final test of the series, New Zealand started with the final test with the hope to level the series. But, it went against them and they lost the series 2-0 with the 1st test drawn.
New Zealand won the toss and put England to bat. Though Vettori's team picked the first 5 top order wickets for 86, Pietersen played an innings of his life. Strauss (37), Cook (6), Vaughan (16), Bell (0), and Collingwood (0) failed miserably giving a bright chance to New Zealand.
But, Pietersen along with Ambrose built the innings slowly and steadily. They both added 161 runs for the 6th wicket. Pietersen got out caught behind of O'Brien for well made 115 off 223 balls with 14 fours. Ambrose fell after adding 15 to the England total. At this stage of the game, New Zealand still had a good chance with England struggling 262 for 7.
On could easily say that it is one of those matches were the bowling team did not put pressure on the tail enders or bwol on the right areas. Broad and Anderson added66 for the 7th wicket in which Broad scored an useful 64. Milis and O'Brien picked 3 and 4 wickets respectively. England finished their 1st innings at 364.
New Zealand batting struggled like England at the beginning losing 6 wickets for 93, but like England, they were not able to bounce back. How top scored with 40. Taylor (21) and Hopkins (15) were the other two digit scorers.
Anderson was in song. The similar dismissal of Redmond and McCullum were master piece. He pitched up and middle stump and left the batsman. Both of them missed the line and the off stump uprooted. He picked all the 6 wickets that fell at the end of Day 2.
On Day 3, Sidebottom picked a wicket and Broad picket 2. Anderson added one more to his tally to finish his figures at 7 for 43 in his 21.3 overs which had 8 maidens.

England forced the follow on with a lead of 241 runs. New Zealand, though did a better job than the first innings, but could not make up the last 9 runs deficit to make England bat again.
McCullum scored 71 and Oram was not out on 50. Flynn scored 49. But all these were not enough to avoid the innings defeat. Sidebottom picked 6 wickets in the 2nd innings, Anderson and Broad picked 2 each.
Anderson was declared man of match; Strauss and Vettori were decalred joint winners of Man of the Series.

England need 4 wickets to win 2nd Test!
England has a bright chance of levelling the series against New Zealand. With a target 438 in almost 2 days to go and close to 174 overs of play, New Zealand lost the first wicket at 18 in the form of in-form batsman How. Bell fell for 29 caught behind off Broad. Fleming followed Bell in the same over for 31. The double blow in the same over put New Zealand in the back seat.
Sinclair and Taylor played sensibly and hit few good fours. Sinclair was caught by Bell off Anderson for 39 and he added 81 for the 4th wicket. Taylor was batting well and scored his first 50 off 65 balls with 8 fours. He failed to convert his 50 into an hundred. Sidebottom gave the breakthrough by sending Taylor to pavilion for 55.
Oram and McCullum added 69 runs for the 6th wicket. Just before the light was offered to the batsman, Oram was dismissed for 30 caught at gully by Pietersen off Sidebottom.
Sidebottom ended the day with 3 crucial wickets and broad picked 2. With one more day to, England requires 4 wickets and New Zealand either has to protect the day or score 196 runs. McCullum batting with 43 and skipper Vettori is along with him in zero.
