A look at the numbers from yesterday's batting blitz between the Black Caps and India at AMI Stadium in Christchurch.

*The match aggregate of 726 is the second highest ever in one-day internationals. The highest is 872 set in Johannesburg in 2006 between South Africa and Australia.

*India's 392-4 is their second highest one-day total, behind their 413-5 against Bermuda in the 2007 World Cup.

*India's total is the highest conceded in an ODI by New Zealand, eclipsing 376-2 by India at Hyderabad in 1999.

*The Indian total was the highest ODI score by any side in New Zealand, eclipsing the old mark of 350-9 by New Zealand against Australia at Hamilton in 2007.

*The teams set the record for sixes in a match with 31 – the next best is 26. The 18 sixes in India's innings was the fourth time that number has been hit in an ODI.

*Tim Southee's figures of 10-0-105-0 are the third time a bowler, and second time a New Zealander, has conceded a ton. Kiwi Martin Snedden also conceded 105 runs in 1983 while Australia's Michael Lewis tops the list with 113.

*Sachin Tendulkar's 163 retired hurt was his 43rd ODI ton, fifth against New Zealand and first in New Zealand.

*Tendulkar received his 58th man-of-the-match award, stretching his lead to 12 over second-placed Sanath Jayasuriya of Sri Lanka.

*Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder's opening stand of 166 is New Zealand's fourth highest first-wicket partnership. The highest is 274 by McCullum and James Marshall against Ireland in Aberdeen last year.
