WELLINGTON (Reuters) - An exhausted Brendon McCullum looked wearily back at the Basin Reserve wicket as the sun that had beat down upon him for almost six hours on Sunday was slowly sinking and knew he would need to do the same again on Monday.

The New Zealand captain had just slowly trudged off the field at the end of the third day of the second test against India on 114 not out having thwarted the visitors' push for a series-levelling victory on Sunday.
