McIntosh slams century as Kiwis score 258 for four

Share

Hyderabad: Tim McIntosh revived his fledgling career with a sedate century as New Zealand came up with a gritty batting display to find themselves in a comfortable position in the second cricket Test against India here today.

McIntosh notched up his second Test century while Martin Guptill produced a fluent 85 as the visitors reached 258 for four in their first innings at close on the opening day on a placid track at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium.

Centurion in the first Test, Jesse Ryder was batting on 22, while giving him company was wicketkeeper Gareth Hopkins who is yet to open his account.

McIntosh would however be disappointed as the Kiwi, after recording his century, got out when Zaheer Khan delivered with the second new ball at the fag end of the day.
