Sarfaraz's maiden hundred and Pant's innings offered hope for India, but their dismissals led to a swift decline for the hosts

New Zealand hit back after smashing knocks from Sarfaraz Khan and Rishabh Pant on a rain-curtailed day four of the IND vs NZ 1st Test on Saturday, with the tourists needing 107 for victory.
Fast bowlers Matt Henry and William O'Rourke took three wickets each to bowl out India for 462 in the final session in Bengaluru. New Zealand skipper Tom Latham and Devon Conway came out to bat but only four balls were bowled and no runs were scored before bad light forced the players off, a heavy downpour began and stumps were called.
