IND vs NZ Live Cricket Score

7.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mayank Agarwal departs and the Kiwis have drawn first blood early in the morning session. Kyle Jamieson has been probing and making life difficult for the Indian openers and he reaps rewards for his hard work here. Can't say that he hasn't deserved this honestly. He keeps pushing with the same line and length and gets rid of Agarwal. Back-of-a-length delivery again, on the fourth stump line, the ball lands and curls away. Mayank Agarwal, like he has been all morning, looks for the tentative poke but only manages a thin feather, which is gobbled up by Tom Blundell behind the sticks. Agarwal has a chat with Gill but he opts not to take the review.  21/1

30 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Kyle Jamieson continues to trouble the Indian batters. Gill was looking very solid out there and looked to be running away to a big score has been sent packing for 52, right in the first over after the Lunch break. Kyle Jamieson has been right on the money throughout the game so far and he follows the same template here. He serves it on a length, in the fourth stump channel, with a hint of inward movement. Shubman Gill looks to push this to the off side but the inward movement ensures that the ball kisses the inside edge and crashes into the furniture behind. Gill trudges back this time and the Kiwis have struck at the right time!  82/2

37.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another wicket falls down and India lose their third. The outswinger has been a delivery that has troubled him in the past and the same delivery proves to be his undoing here. A good start by Pujara but his good work has been cut short. Tim Southee hurls across a good-length delivery, around the fourth stump channel now, the ball lands and shapes away a touch. Cheteshwar Pujara is tempted to put bat on ball and hangs his bat in defense. The outside edge is induced and Tom Blundell behind the stumps does the rest.  106/3

49.2 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Well, Ajinkya Rahane doesn't survive for too long. Kyle Jamieson has the last laugh. He has been phenomenal throughout and bags his third wicket now. Good-length delivery, outside off. Ajinkya Rahane tries to cut it off the back foot but is undone by the lack of bounce perhaps. He only manages to get an inside edge and the ball goes on to shatter the stumps. Kyle Jamieson breaks the partnership that was looking good but more importantly, gets the prized wicket of Ajinkya Rahane who was looking in good touch.  145/4

96.1 OUT! TAKEN! The break has worked for the Kiwis and they have gotten the centurion, Iyer. Could have easily had both, Ashwin and Iyer in the last two balls but they will be pretty pleased with this wicket and also how things have gone so far this morning. They are now into the bowlers. A loose stroke by Iyer. Probably lapse in concentration there. Southee's ploy though of bowling it outside off works again. It is another driving-length delivery. Probably a little behind that length. Holds in the surface a touch. Iyer is early in the drive, it goes straight into the hands of the cover fielder and Will Young takes it. Southee has his 4th and third of Day 2.  305/7

87 OUT! BOWLED! Chopped on! Southee delivers for his skipper. On a length, just outside off. Jadeja has his feet glued to the crease as he looks to block it. The ball comes back in with the angle, takes the inside edge and then crashes onto the stumps! A brilliant start for the Kiwis and they would want to take a couple of more wickets. Actually, just before this ball was bowled, the fielder at square leg was pushed back towards the fence. That could have had Jadeja anticipating a shorter ball. His feet were glued to the crease here and that field positioning could well be the reason! Good tactics by the Kiwis!  266/5

92.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Good catch behind the sticks but this has been a brilliant spell by Southee! He kept bowling on the stumps to Saha and this time, he serves a full one, outside off. Saha's eyes lit up and he goes for the drive. But the ball nips away just enough to get the outside edge. Tom Blundell dives to his right and takes it. Southee has been on fire for the Kiwis in this session.  288/6

109.2 OUT! BOWLED! First wicket for a spinner in this Test! Patel tosses this up, on the pads. Ashwin makes room and goes for the drive. But the ball lands in the rough and turns sharply. It goes onto hit the stumps and a handy knock by Ashwin comes to an end.  339/9

99 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Southee is on fire! What a spell. He has bowled right from the start of the day and has delivered big time. His 4th of the day and 5th wicket in total. Another peach of a delivery. Length, gets it to tail back in initially. Patel plays the original trajectory. Southee gets it to straighten after landing. The ball moves enough to take the outside edge and the keeper, Tom Blundell, makes no mistake. It has been New Zealand's morning so far.  313/8

111.1 OUT! LBW! Dead straight! Tossed up, on middle. Ishant Sharma comes forward to block but gets hit on the pads. The finger goes up right away. Sharma reviews it but it is a review taken out of hope. No bat on that and Ball Tracker has three reds. That ends the innings and India are bowled out for 345!  345/10

102.1 OUT! STUMPED! A marathon knock by Latham comes to an end! Tossed up, outside off. Tom Latham comes down the track to drive but gets the inside edge. The ball goes back to the keeper and Srikar Bharat does the rest. The TV umpire is called in to check whether he collected the ball ahead of the stumps but he did not!  227/5

66.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The stand finally ends and Ravichandran Ashwin is the one to provide with the breakthrough! Fuller again, outside off. Young tentatively looks to block it but fails. Srikar Bharat gathers the ball behind the stumps and the fielders start celebrating. The umpire is unmoved but Bharat is convinced and convinces Rahane to go upstairs. A big spike on UltraEdge as the ball goes past the bat and Young's vigil stay ends!  151/1

85.3 OUT! THREE REDS AND INDIA STRIKE AT THE STROKE OF LUNCH! Big, big wicket and the second new ball has worked. Also, to get a pacer on from one end has proved to be a good idea. Umesh Yadav runs in, lands it around off and gets it to jag back in. Williamson is glued to his crease as he tries to put bat on ball. Misses and gets hit on the pads. An appeal and the finger is raised. Williamson reviews. Time for the replays and Ball Tracker shows three reds. New Zealand lose a review. Also, this will really lift the morale of the Indian side. Lunch will now taste a lot better as the players make their way off the field.  197/2

94.3 OUT! TAKEN! A sharp catch by the keeper! Tossed up, on off. Taylor looks to block but the ball turns just enough to take the outside off. Srikar Bharat takes a good catch to his right. He makes up for the missed opportunity a few overs ago. This wicket would put India in a pretty good position.  214/3

96.5 OUT! IMPACT IS UMPIRE'S CALL! What Nicholls thought could save him does not. New Zealand lose another and all of a sudden they are in a spot of bother. They still trail by over 120 runs. One brings two for Axar Patel! This is fuller and it lands on off and turns back in. Nicholls looks to sweep but misses. He gets hit on the pads. A huge appeal and the finger is raised. Nicholls probably feels he has got hit outside the line of off and reviews. Replays roll in and they show the on-field call stays. New Zealand do not lose a review but they do lose a batter. Nicholls does not trouble the scorers a lot.  218/4

123.4 OUT! TIMBER! That is unplayable! Probably Tom Blundell could have played ahead to that delivery but can't really blame him, it just never got up. Flatter and on middle, Blundell hangs back and tries to defend, this one does not bounce at all. It sneaks under the bat and hits the stumps. Axar has hit 4th. Blundell was playing really well but can't do a lot with that delivery. The stand which was frustrating India has been broken. New Zealand still trail by 87. Tim Southee is the next batter.  258/7

110.4 OUT! BOWLED! Ravindra gets Ravindra! Through the gate! Tossed up, wide outside off. This lands in the rough and turns back in sharply. Rachin Ravindra gets forward to block but Ravindra Jadeja gets the ball to go through the gate and onto the stumps!  241/6

139 OUT! TAKEN! The vigilant stay of Kyle Jamieson ends! Ashwin tosses this nicely, outside off. Kyle Jamieson goes for the slog sweep but gets more height than distance on it. The ball goes towards deep mid-wicket and Axar Patel takes it. Ajaz Patel is the last batter.  284/9

127.4 OUT! BOWLED! Patel gets yet another 5-fer! Flatter ball, on off. Southee goes back to block it but the ball turns away a touch and castles the stumps! William Somerville walks out to bat.  270/8

142.3 OUT! BOWLED! That ends the innings! Tossed up, on middle. William Somerville goes for the sweep but gets no bat on it. The ball goes onto hit the stumps. New Zealand are bowled out for 296!  296/10

19.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Number 4 down and Southee gets his first! The morning session keeps getting better for the visitors. Southee has his 50th Test wicket against India. What a delivery! How skillful is this guy! The last delivery, landed on a similar length but then, it went on with the angle, Agarwal played a forward defensive stroke and it hit the middle. This time, it lands on a similar area, that is on a length and around off, moves away after pitching. Agarwal looks to do the same, he tries to play the original trajectory. The movement does him in though, it goes off the outside edge to the man at second slip. Latham makes no mistake.  51/4

1.1 OUT! TIMBER! 50th Test wicket for Kyle Jamieson! He just continues to impress. Strikes on the very first ball, just the start his side wanted. The half centurion of the first innings falls for just a single run. Kyle Jamieson is also the fastest to 50 wickets in Tests for the Kiwis. Right on the money from the word go. Length and on off, jags back in a touch. Gill probably should be coming forward on a wicket that is not bouncing a lot. His feet though are glued to the crease. He looks to defend it half-heartedly. It sneaks past the bat, clips the pad and hits the stumps. Kyle Jamieson is delighted. There is still time for another wicket.  2/1

11.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kyle Jamieson strikes early! Short ball, down the leg side. Cheteshwar Pujara looks to leave it alone. Tom Blundell gathers it and is up in arms and so is Kyle Jamieson. But the umpire is unmoved. The keeper and bowler convince Kane Williamson to take the review. There is a spike on UltraEdge as the ball passes the gloves! Pujara has to walk back now.  32/2

14.5 OUT! LBW! PLUMB IN FRONT! Tossed up, lands on off and comes in with the angle. Rahane plays for the turn and looks to block. The ball hits his pad right in front of the stumps and the finger goes up. Rahane has a word with Agarwal but decides not to review it. That looked dead straight, to be honest. Rahane's poor run of form continues.  41/3

60.2 OUT! TAKEN! Shreyas Iyer has been strangled down the leg side. Yet again, it is Tim Southee who manages to provide the breakthrough. Much-needed wicket as the two were taking the game away. End of another top knock from Iyer. He will be disappointed with the way he got out but he will be pleased with the innings he has played. It is a short one, down the leg side, Iyer looks to pull, it does not bounce as much as he thought it would. It goes off the glove and the keeper, Tom Blundell, takes it inches above the ground. Iyer starts walking. The umpires want to check if it has carried and take it upstairs. Replays show it has. Iyer walks back and so do the other players as it is TEA ON DAY 4!  167/7

19.4 OUT! LBW! Three reds and Jadeja has to walk back! Not sure why he took the review there. That was plumb if there was no bat. Southee has two in the over and India have their backs against the walls now. They are effectively 100 for 5. Well, they could be 100 for 6 as we don't know if Wriddhiman Saha is going to bat. The swing proves to be the undoing of an Indian batter again. Southee goes full, gets it to tail back in nicely from outside off. Jadeja plants his front foot way too across, he then tries to flick but misses. It hits the back pad. Southee is celebrating as he appeals. The finger is raised. After a chat with Iyer, Jadeja reviews. To no avail though. He takes a review along with him.  51/5
