'Going forward to Vizag, hopefully I can spend a bit more time in the middle and we can score some big runs,' says the opener. His strokeful 72 helped New Zealand notch up a series-levelling 19-run win over India but opener Martin Guptill said it wasn't a fluent knock as the condition was tough to bat once the ball got old at the JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi. Guptill's innings set the platform for New Zealand as they posted 260 and then bowled out India for 241 in 48.4 overs to win the fourth ODI on Wednesday. "As an opener you're going to get a ball, you're going to nick off early on and things like that happen. But you know you just got to fight through that because you're going to come out the other side, you can score some runs," he said.
