New Zealand lost their first wicket - Will Young - just before the end of day 4, leaving the score 4/1 while chasing 284 runs in the Green Park Stadium, Kanpur. To negotiate the final over of the day, New Zealand sent in nightwatchman William Somerville.
On day 5, Somerville along with opener Tom Latham survived the entire 1st session. Somerville looked comfortable throughout his stay at the crease and was defending well. Even to get him out, India had to do something special.
