Trent Boult struck early on fourth day morning, dismissing overnight batsman Ajinkya Rahane for 29 which created an opening for New Zealand. The left-arm quick finished with four wickets in the second innings. AP

Indian hopes were pinned on their vice-captain and senior batsman Ajinkya Rahane to help his side to a fighting second innings total but he was caught behind in the third over of the morning to push India on the backfoot. AP

Ravichandran Ashwin once again didn't contribute a lot with the bat as he was trapped leg before wicket to Southee. AP

Rishabh Pant did hang around to take India into the lead, saving the team ignominy of innings defeat, but he fell for 25 when India were just eight runs in lead. AP

Openers Tom Blundell, left and Tom Latham knocked off the nine runs required to win without much fuss, registering a clinical win for New Zealand, ending the game before Lunch on day four. AP
