At the end of the 4th day's play of the 1st Test at Kanpur, New Zealand were 93 for 4 in their 2nd innings against India. Luke Ronchi on 38 and Mitchel Santner on 8 were at the crease at the stumps. India now positioned themselves for a massive win in their 500th cricket Test by polishing off the New Zealand top-order. The Black Caps require a history-defying effort to win the Test as no team has ever chased such a daunting target of 434 runs. They still need 341 runs and batting three sessions on a fifth-day wicket is not something visiting teams have achieved often in India. Earlier, negotiating a spin-friendly track with aplomb, Rohit Sharma (68) and Ravindra Jadeja (50) raised a 100-run stand in quick time after India lost four wickets, starting the day at 159 for one.
