Baby-faced debutant Tom Latham, son of Rod Latham, who was part of Kiwi team that made the 1992 World Cup semi-finals, looked good in his brief stay at the crease. After getting out for a third-ball duck in the first innings, Tom applied himself at the crease in his 64-ball 29.

BJ Watling too cashed in to reach his 7th Test fifty. Watling's fifty came in 190 balls but his support to McCullum was more than the Kiwi side needed.

Brendon McCullum and BJ Watling fought hard together with an unfinished 158-run stand to deny India a win on Day 3. They would hope to bat for as long as possible on Day 4.
