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.
Dravid defended as methodically as ever, but it wasn't all dour stuff. He cut the ball beautifully and the run-rate didn't suffer after Gambhir's departure. Another stroke past point off Mills took him to a half-century from 108 balls and when he followed it with a lovely cover-drive off O'Brien, things were looking ominous. But O'Brien had the final say, getting one to nip back a shade off the seam and hit the top of off stump.
