Ross Taylor of New Zealand showed significant discomfort during his match-winning innings of 181 at the University of Otago Oval on Wednseday. Taylor said post-match he had given himself a few days to recuperate before tomorrow's decisive game in Christchurch. Hesson also admitted he and captain Kane Williamson were tempted to withdraw Taylor, but decided to let him soldier on. "He's got some very, very good hundreds for us but that was a great hundred and, in any side in the world, that'd be considered a great innings," Hesson said. Taylor has hit 19 ODI and 17 test centuries for New Zealand.
