New Zealand's last-wicket pair, a debutant and a tail-ender, batted through fading light to deny India victory in the first Test, securing a draw and preserving the World Test champions' unbeaten record. In a sport increasingly defined by spectacle, two men scoring almost nothing wrote the most consequential chapter of the match.
