New Zealand reach 258 for 4 after day one

Tim McIntosh batted almost all day to hit his second Test century as New Zealand produced a sturdy 258 for 4 on day one of the second Test against hosts India at Hyderabad.



The 39-year-old Auckland left-hander scored 102 to become the first New Zealander and 11th man in all to reach three figures immediately after registering a pair of ducks.



Six overs were left when, troubled by cramp, he pushed Harbhajan Singh to long-on to bring up his ton. McIntosh put on 147 with Martin Guptill 85 before finally falling.



Zaheer Khan has so far taken two wickets for 41 runs. The first Test of the three-match series ended in a draw at Ahmedabad.
