New Zealand needs 107 runs on the final day to beat India in the first Test in Bengaluru.

The Kiwis bowled India out for 462 on day four before poor light stopped four-ball play in their chase.

Sarfaraz Khan hit 150 and Rishabh Pant 99 for India as they look to record one of the most famous wins in cricket after being dismissed for just 46 in their first innings.

That pair guided India into the lead just three wickets down in the second innings, but the hosts lost 7-54 with the second new ball, leaving New Zealand to win at 107.

Seamers Matt Henry and Will O’Rourke took 3-102 and 3-92 respectively, after sharing nine wickets in the first innings.

New Zealand are looking for their first Test win in India since 1988.

“I wouldn’t say it’s an easy wicket here. Obviously we have a world-class team against us,” O’Rourke said.

“We have to be confident going out tomorrow and hopefully the rain will hold off for the crowd and we will get a chance to improve on the total.”

Safaraz said: “It is not an easy wicket and I feel the game has not slipped out of our hands. If we can get two or three quick wickets out, they will suffer the same fate.”
