Hyderabad, Nov 16 (PTI) Brendon McCullum slammed a fluent 171 while Kane Williamson notched up his second half century on the trot as the second Test between India and New Zealand meandered towards a draw at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here today.
Resuming at an overnight score of 237 for the loss of four wickets, both batsmen mixed aggression with caution and added 102 runs in the first session of the fifth and final day without losing a wicket, to give the visitors a lead of 217 runs.
At lunch, the visitors were 339 for four with McCullum and Williamson (66 not out) at the crease.
Luck, too, was on McCullum's side and he should thank substitute fielder Cheteshwar Pujara for that.

Pujara dropped a seemingly easy chance off Harbhajan Singh at forward short-leg when the opener was batting on 148.
