What a shot by Martin! Nice!

So lets say India end up with a 160ish lead. Sehwag will obviously try to be Sehwag, but perhaps it would be worth it with the time thats left for India team to come out and graft a bit for a while, to make sure wickets aren't lost. If India can bat until midway between lunch and tea on the fourth day, the series will have been saved and there is still plenty of time to bowl NZ out, with hopefully the track making Harbhajan dangerous.
India does not have to save this series. . . . since there is no way they can lose it

I remember a lovely square drive for four against Bangladesh back in December '07 - which may well have been his last?

Well, they really should win considering they are going for the top spot, so if this game is lost and the series is tied, I think India have failed.

HOW CAN THE GAME BE LOST? NZ Don't have a Hadlee or Bond in their ranks. It is 99.999999999% unlikely India will lose this game.

No, the last one before this match came against Eng at Napier last summer. Many would remember it for Southee's slogging, but according to Cricinfo, Martin managed to sneak in this gem:

115.4 Anderson to Martin, FOUR, loud cheers as Martin turns the ball behind square and the ball just has the legs to creep over the rope ... the fielders just watched
