Vettori, who lofted Sehwag for a six over wide long-on, had taken just 139 balls for his third Test century, but when Mahendra Singh Dhoni took a sharp catch diving to his right after he got a thin inside edge off Munaf Patel, New Zealand slipped to 246 for 7. The wickets column showed eight a ball later as Munaf produced a searing yorker to mess up Kyle Mills' stumps. Ryder was on 77 at the time and with the hapless Chris Martin the last man, he knew he had to hurry to get three figures.

Iain O'Brien helped him get as far as 98 before a heads-up charge at Harbhajan saw him stumped. Fortunately for Ryder, Martin survived five balls to loud acclaim from the spectators. The first ball of Ishant Sharma's next over was swatted away for four and after Ryder's celebration, the innings ended with a miscue to wide mid-on.

Dhoni's decision to bowl in humid conditions was more than vindicated as Zaheer and Ishant tore through the top order. Zaheer started the rot with two wickets in four balls, and when Ishant came back to grab three in his second spell. Though the bowlers managed to get movement from the outset, New Zealand had started promisingly. Tim McIntosh didn't appear at ease, but the debutant Martin Guptill started with a superb off-drive off Ishant to settle his nerves.

But once the bowlers found their rhythm, the runs started to dry up and, though Guptill pulled Ishant for four to try and seize the initiative, you sensed that something was about to happen. It did when Zaheer slanted one across to take the edge of Guptill's bat. Rahul Dravid dived across from third slip and took a smart catch at the second attempt, to join Mark Waugh on 181, a world record. When Daniel Flynn tickled one down the leg side for Dhoni to take a fine catch, any sense of well-being disappeared.

New Zealand - DDLLD
The hosts' last Test victory was against Bangladesh in Chittagong in October 2008, a series they won after the second Test was drawn. Since then they've suffered two heavy defeats in Australia and drew the home series against West Indies after both the Tests were spoilt by poor weather.

India - DWWDW
India, on the other hand, have not lost a Test since their tour of Sri Lanka in August 2008. They bounced back from that series defeat by beating Australia 2-0 in a four-Test series at home, and also beat England 1-0 in a two-Test contest.

James Franklin is no longer a left-arm swing bowler who can make a handy contribution with the bat in the lower-order. During his recovery from a knee injury, he has improved his batting and developed into an allrounder. He even has a double-century in the State Championship and is set to take Jacob Oram's spot in the batting line-up. "We want Frankie to bat No. 6 tomorrow," Daniel Vettori said. "I think that's his preferred role and he probably won't have as big a role with the ball as he has had in the past. He won't be expected to bowl 20-25 overs an innings. We really want to maximise his batting abilities. He is in fantastic form and he feels comfortable as a batter."

Virender Sehwag was the bane of New Zealand's bowling attack during the one-day series. ""I love it," he said of the short boundaries and the placid pitches after pillaging 125 runs off 74 balls in the fourth ODI in Hamilton. The pitches will not be as placid in the Tests, the boundary rope might be pushed back further, and the ball could do a bit more in the mornings. Sehwag, however, isn't likely to alter his approach too much. He scored 299 runs at a strike-rate of 150 in the ODIs and will continue to take advantage of every scoring opportunity in the Tests. "He [Sehwag] plays the way he wants to play, because that's his natural style," said Dhoni. "We all know if he gets going he can dominate the bowlers and all of a sudden you see the bowling attack rattled. We have seen if he plays for two hours or three hours, he is a batsman who is capable of getting big scores. He is not the kind who gets out in 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s."

Clearly, the plans are not working. There has been so much talk of plans for each Indian batsman - from the captain, the coach, the bowlers themselves, and even the batsmen - that one wonders if the bowlers think instinctively at all. It has to be very difficult to plan for somebody like Sehwag, who has cut out a major weakness - that on the leg side.

New Zealand won't tell, but the plan seems to be to tie Sehwag down by giving him no room. If that is so, they need to ask themselves if they created enough chances to get him out. And Sehwag has so far scored 150 runs on the on-side as opposed to 109 on the off. His scoring area outside off - also the most likely to get him out - has not been tested enough. And this holds true for most of the Indian batsmen.

Dion Nash, the former New Zealand fast bowler, has faced an onslaught or two from Tendulkar in his day. He is a national selector now, but as a bowler he thinks one has to keep searching for the wickets. "I think you have to try and get him [Sehwag] out," Nash said when asked what's the best way to deal with such batsmen. "Like a lot of Indian batsmen he doesn't quite move his feet. To me the ball has to be moving away from the bat down the channel of off stump. The odd ball is going to whistle out of the park, but you must bowl hard and heavy balls, all hitting the top of his bat and get some swing in the air."

It could be easier said than done, though. It's a scary thought to be bowling to this line-up, full of stroke-makers, batsmen who are capable of consistently hitting good balls for fours. "The batsman can put that type of pressure on you, and you end up coming and worrying about where you might get hit, rather than thinking about how you can get him out," Nash said.

Going into the fourth match in Hamilton, the talk has been about what is a defendable total. Going by the evidence from Christchurch, it's not 340. New Zealand's bowlers have talked about mysterious plans that they haven't been able to execute against India's batsmen. In the only innings that was uninterrupted by rain, the bowlers didn't seem to have any.

If Brendon McCullum is to be believed Seddon Park, the venue for Wednesday's match, should present the bowlers with a similar test. The boundaries are not as absurdly short as those at Christchurch's AMI Stadium but they are still not big enough to give batsmen headaches.

"We've seen plenty of runs on this surface in one-day cricket over the last two years," McCullum said. "I think tomorrow will be no different, and no doubt another high-scoring game. That's something the bowlers will have to get their heads around."

Jeetan Patel, the New Zealand offspinner, has been called up to the ODI squad as cover for the captain Daniel Vettori, who is expecting the birth of his child.

The New Zealand team manager Dave Currie said Vettori, the solitary spinner in the squad, and his wife Mary were anticipating the possibility of minor complications related to the birth of their child, expected shortly. "In case Daniel is called away at short notice Jeetan has come in on standby," he said. "He will remain with the squad through the ODI series or until required."

Patel was a member of the New Zealand A squad, playing against the visiting England Lions. His place has been taken by Bruce Martin, the left-arm spinner from Northern Districts. Patel last represented New Zealand earlier this year, in the five-ODI series against Australia. He managed just one wicket in three ODIs, conceding 110 runs.
