I would say that India deserve a win in this test match. Unluckily they were not able to take the last wicket and the match ended in a draw, There is not much teams can do in such situations. Lets see who will win the next test match as the winner of the 2nd test will be the winner of the series.
I would say New Zealand deserved to draw the match. I was expecting India to win the match considering they had all the world class spinners and still if they are able to last the entire day is their resistance and fight to avoid the defeat. Glad i did not place a bet on India to win the match, i was thinking to place a bet but the odds were not that great and hence i skipped placing a bet.

Eventually India has given a target of 284 runs to the New Zealand team. The surface of the pitch is helping the bowlers more now. New Zealand has lost their first wickets today and the match will continue on day five. I have a strong feelings that India will win the match. There is a big difference between the betting odds and it is fully in favour of India now.
Congrats to those who made there bet on draw they must have enough funds to enjoy there Christmas and new year. Its proved once again that odds are nothing to predict the outcome of any match. They say and I believe that "cricket is old funny game". India must be disappointed and they should rightly be but nonetheless its an interesting contest.
The Indians almost getting close pulled off a win today! India fought back in the second session and almost close won the match in the third session. However, New Zealand deserves credit for their performance. The Kiwi batsmen fought valiantly against quality Indian spinners and were rewarded with a draw. When the game is tight and you have tail enders trying to save it under immense pressure, a couple of overs would've been helpful. Overall a good contest.

Their last pair really put up a strong fight against the Indian bowlers. New Zealand should give all the credit to their last pair of batsmen. Because I saw their playstyle, that top order and the middle order were absolutely horrible.
Pakistan ended the day with 109-0. I told before that it won't be easy to win against Pakistan. Now this match is well under our control. We need only 93 more runs and it should not be a problem with 10 full wickets in the hand. Bangladesh played well in the first innings but they failed to produce a similar sort of batting display in the 2nd innings.
Pakistan from here on will win unless they do some blunder. Bangladesh is weak team so can't say its difficult to beat Pakistan. Shafique is having an ideal test debut, not many have such start along with other opener Abid. Bangladesh got lead in first innings but they collapsed in second innings, giving an edge to Pakistan. I think Pakistan should easily win from here because they only need 93 runs more and they have 10 wickets in hand and a whole day of test cricket. And I honestly thought that Bangladesh should have done much more better in the second innings. But yet again they collapsed in front of a really good Pakistani bowling attack. For me, Pakistan wins this 100%.
Wow what a match!! Nail biting draw...
NZ survived and debutant Rachin Ravindra (Combination of Ra-hul and Sa-chin, his parents were fan of Rahul Dravid and Sachin) is a hero for kiwis.
In my recent memory especially on Indian pitches, i don't remember any match which went this close. One team needed just 1 wicket and other was on surviving mode and match has been called off due to bad lights. They lost 10 mins of game here, anything could have happen in those 10 mins. India would be very disappointing.

It is really good luck for New zealand because I don't think they would have survived the bowling of India. But the last pair did their job and survived. My question is to the top order and Middle-order that what were they playing for? Their batting order failed completely today and they are lucky to come out with withdrawal from this match.

I think Newzealand is really lucky to even draw the match because they were dominated by the Indian bowlers. I think they were really lucky to even survive with the last wicket. But I think the last pair did well enough to defend the bonus and come out with a draw.
Now India leads the series by 1-0.

Credit for this draw goes to Ravindra and Patel without that partnership it won't be possible for NZ to draw the game. Can somebody share stats of what's the longest last wicket partnership for such draws? I guess there are not much partnerships like that AFAIK.
When we talk about the last wicket partnership, first of all, which comes to my mind is Ben Stokes and Jack Leach's last wicket partnership against Australia. They put up a 76 run partnership together. And here are some other greatest last-wicket partnerships

The Indian bowlers were on fire. Jadeja and Ashwin took apart the New Zealand batting lineup. But I honestly expected more out of the New Zealand batting lineup. They should have known that they will have to face these bowlers. But the draw was a good result I'll say.

Bangladesh managed to score only 156 runs in their second innings. And gave Pakistan a target of 202 runs. That's not enough to win. If they had given a target of 250 runs, then maybe the match would have been drawn or Bangladesh would have won. Pakshithan scored 36 runs without losing a wicket.

NZ are crumbling thanks to the legendary Ashwin-Jadeja combo who picked up some crucial wickets between them. India are going all in to win this one while the NZ batsmen are desperately trying to force a draw.
Also, Ashwin(Legend) has officially become the 3rd highest wicket-taker for India in tests surpassing Harbhajan and will probably surpass Kapil Dev soon too, but Kumble is in another league.

New Zealand is already 9 wickets down and they have to score 125 runs in 32 balls. Which is physically impossible. Their only hope is that if they can survive these 32 balls and play these overs out, they might be able to end the match with a draw. Other than that I think ok India will pressure really hard to get that last wicket and win this match.

New Zealand is in crisis right now. India gave New Zealand a target of 284 runs. New Zealand lost the first wicket of the day by 79 runs and the second wicket lost by 118 runs. At the moment New Zealand has lost 5 wickets for 126 runs. New Zealand will probably get another chance to play 28-30 overs. Maybe India will win or the match will be a draw.
Very unprofessional gameplay for New Zealand batsmen. Henry Nicholls managed just 2 runs in the first innings. After collecting only 1 run in the second innings, he returned to the dressing room. Ross Taylor's collection is 11 in the first innings, only 2 in the second innings. Since now their goal is to draw the match. They should have patiently tried to stay on the crease for a while.You're right. Since Taylor and Nicholls didn't do well in the first inning. So they should have done a little better in this innings. They could not do that. Tom Blundell scored 13 runs in the first innings off 94 balls. If you do the same in the second innings, then New Zealand will be able to draw the match.
