India vs New Zealand highlights, 1st Test, Day 4: Rain forces early stumps in Bengaluru; New Zealand need 107 runs to win after India all out for 462 in second innings
India vs New Zealand highlights, Bangalore Weather Updates 1st Test Day 4: Sarfaraz Khan struck a majestic 150 while Rishabh Pant made a brisk 99 as India were all out for 462 in their second innings, setting New Zealand a target of 107 on day four of the opening Test here on Saturday. Just when New Zealand came out to bat late in the final session, rain brought an early end to the day's play with the visitors playing just four balls in the second innings, with openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway yet to open their accounts.
Sarfaraz's maiden hundred and Pant's innings offered hope for India, but their dismissals led to a swift decline for the hosts. Resuming at 438 for six after tea, India lost their final four wickets - Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandra Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj - in quick succession, ending their innings in 99.3 overs.
At tea, India were at 438 for six, holding an 82-run lead. Due to rain, there was a nearly two-hour delay, including a 40-minute lunch break, while India had previously trailed New Zealand by 12 runs in their second innings.
India were all out for just 46 in their first innings, while New Zealand responded with 402.

Virat Kohli (70) and Sarfaraz Khan (70 not out) then added 136 runs for the third wicket before Kohli fell to Glenn Phillips, which turned out to be the last ball of the day. While Kohli and Rohit will be kicking themselves to not convert their fifties into hundreds, it has kept India in the contest.
