At the close, India had stabilised at 71 for one to trail Australia by 501 with Lokesh Rahul on 31 and Rohit Sharma hitting two sixes on his way to 40 not out. “I thought our whole top six played really well,” Smith said.”We’ve relied a lot on the tail in the last couple of Test matches and I said the batters had to step up in this match. “The whole top six got above fifty which I WELLINGTON: New Zealand pose for a photo after winning the match and the series don’t think has happened before.
