To say the forthcoming Test series between India and New Zealand will be challenging for the home side would be a huge understatement. If everything plays out as suspected, it could be 15 long days of leather-chasing for the New Zealand players.
Steady progress by India though the pace of play wasn't frenetic. Sehwag's early dismissal gave New Zealand hope and to be fair they didn't bowl badly. India played it safe and didn't take too many chances, especially against Ryder. But they can still afford to take their time as there's plenty left in this Test.
