syntax error near unexpected token `)'

Hi
i am new to make file and trying to figure out how to write the command so I
dont get the error:- syntax error near unexpected token `)'

Its very basic one line 
(echo -n "Total "; zcat ../raw/shNuak1-D704_S4_L001_R1_001_sample.fastq.gz|
echo -n $((`wc -l`/4)); ) > test.stats

it works fine on its own in shell
but in make file 

%.stats: %.int %.sam 
        (echo -n "Total "; zcat 
../raw/shNuak1-D704_S4_L001_R1_001_sample.fastq.gz|
echo -n $((`wc -l`/4)); ) > test.stats

it gives the error 
/bin/bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
/bin/bash: -c: line 0: `(echo -n "Total "; zcat
../raw/shNuak1-D704_S4_L001_R1_001_sample.fastq.gz| echo -n ); ) >
test.stats'
make: *** [shNuak1-D704_S4_L001_R1_001_sample.stats] Error 1

Any ideas how to fix it?
