Vettori sets record in Test

Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum punished Pakistan on a day on which only 36 overs of play were possible due to rain and bad light in Dunedin.



When Vettori bunted Saeed Ajmal for a single, minutes into the second session of the first day\'s play, he beat Australian Shane Warne as the highest run getter at Number eight.



While Warne\'s 2005 runs came at an average of 19.09 in 91 Tests, Vettori got there in less than half the number of matches with an average of 43.86. Vettori, however, missed becoming the first Number eight to score back-to-back Tests hundreds by one run.



McCullum contributed 78 as New Zealand closed on 404-8.
