At the lunch break on Day 4, India made a strong comeback, amassing 344 runs for the loss of just three wickets. Pant’s aggressive strokeplay combined with Sarfaraz’s sublime form gave India hope. While Pant’s half-century was crucial, it was Sarfaraz who stole the show, scoring his maiden Test century. Sarfaraz remained unbeaten at 125 off 154 balls, decorated with 16 boundaries and 3 sixes.
As Day 4 headed into the lunch break, India were only 12 runs behind New Zealand’s first-innings score. With Pant and Sarfaraz still at the crease, the match is poised on a knife-edge.
