Despite India's fightback on the fifth day, during which they dismissed eight New Zealand batsmen for 148 runs in the World Test Championship (WTC) final here, their struggle against the lower-order batting continued.
New Zealand's last four wickets added 87 runs here at the Hampshire Bowl on Tuesday as they went from 162/6 to be 249 all out, taking a 32-run lead. Tim Southee's 30 off 46 balls, which included two sixes and a four, as well as Kyle Jamieson's 21 off 16 balls, which included a six, helped the Kiwis add so many towards the end.
