2014 THIS DAY, THAT YEAR

The day New Zealand cheered their first triple-centurion.

Brendon McCullum brought the country to its feet with a tenacious

302 and helped his side to a hard-fought draw against India in

Wellington, which gave them a series win. Having been bowled out for 192 in the first innings,

New Zealand overcame a 246-run deficit to post a mammoth 680 for 8 declared in the second dig. McCullum shared a record sixth-wicket partnership with BJ Watling and then saw James Neesham reel off a century on debut from No. 8. India batted out a little over two sessions, with Virat Kohli bringing up a steady century.
