As it happened: Black Caps v India, day five

There's one simple answer to New Zealand's predicament when the first test against India wraps up at Kanpur's Green Park today - but it will be immensely difficult to pull off.
They start the final day at 93 for four, with the victory target of 434 out of the question, and a day of defiance lying ahead.

New Zealand will begin the day with two batsmen, Luke Ronchi and Mitchell Santner, settled at the crease, but now having to restart, with Ronchi impressive on 38 after 68 minutes, and Santner on eight after 50 minutes in the middle.

New Zealand's chase for what would be their third test victory in India in 32 tests will have to wait for another day. Instead they have a chance to show their scrapping abilities and take something positive into the second test starting at Kolkata on Friday.
