  • Player of the Match
    Shreyas Iyer
So, that is it from the first Test! It went down to the wire. In the end, there was no result possible and that was probably the right result. The action now moves to Mumbai for the second and the final Test. That game begins on the 3rd of December, it starts at 9:30 am local (4 am GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
Shreyas Iyer is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH! He says that if they had won the game, it would have been icing on the cake. Adds that his mindset was to face as many deliveries as possible and the situation demanded that he curb his attacking instincts. Credits Ashwin and Saha for the way they batted and that he is proud of getting out of a difficult situation to put a big total for New Zealand to chase. Mentions that New Zealand got off to a great start on Day 5 but once they got a sniff, the bowlers decided to attack.
The Indian skipper, Ajinkya Rahane, says they tried their best, it was a good game, New Zealand played well. Adds he is proud of how they came back in the second innings, especially the pacers, they bowled really well. Mentions they were looking to bowl 5 to 6 overs on Day 4, they needed that partnership between Saha and Axar as they lost a lot of wickets at the start. Adds the conversation with the umpires was about the lights and he feels the call made by the umpires was right. States he felt the spinners had a key role to play on this wicket and it was all about rotating the bowlers and they bowled really well. Credits Iyer for the way he played and he is really happy for him.
Kane Williamson, the skipper of New Zealand, says that with the light it has been touch and go throughout the game. Adds that his team hung in there and did not give up. Says that all three results were possible on the final day and India have a great bowling attack but his team hung in there. Adds that players like William Somerville and Rachin Ravindra had a great experience in this game. Mentions that the two pacers who played were outstanding and the batters too adjusted really well against the Indian attack. Says that it was a great experience and the batters would look to make more adjustments moving forward in the series.
Stay tuned for the presentation.
Ravichandran Ashwin says they were keeping things under control and were bowling in good areas, they knew if they got time, they would cause problems but the light was going to be an issue and they knew it. States Test cricket is really hard, you need to want it, there is a lot of hard work and he enjoys the format. States the runs, the wickets won't really matter, it is the memories that will and he wants to take some good memories. Adds the wicket was good and it played well, Ravindra played really well and so did Ajaz Patel and he hopes people enjoyed the game.
Entering Day 5, an Indian win looked most likely. The Kiwis too knew it was going to be an uphill task to chase this down. Their approach was to save the Test throughout the day and they managed to do by just. A hard-fought draw and probably the right result to a game that was a spectacle.
India had a decent lead of 49 runs but their second innings did not start as per plan and they found themselves at 51 for 5. But it was Shreyas Iyer once again who saved the team. He scored a fifty and bailed them out. Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel and Wriddhiman Saha, who also scored a fifty made sure that New Zealand had a pretty huge total to chase down in just over a day.
New Zealand started their reply brilliantly though. Will Young and Tom Latham were superb with their opening stand and both scored their fifties. They were unfortunate to miss out on their tons, but it was due to their efforts that New Zealand got close to India's total as the middle order did not contribute much. It was no surprise that the Indian spinners ruled the roost as they shared 9 wickets between them with Axar Patel getting a 5-wicket haul.
Earlier in the game, it was Shreyas Iyer who was the hero for India in the first innings. The rest of the batters did get starts but it was Iyer who bailed them out from a tough situation and got them to a respectable score. As far as the bowling is concerned, Tim Southee was the start as he took a 5-wicket haul and demolished the Indian middle order early on Day 2.
But the Indian spinners ruled the roost post Tea. Axar Patel started things off by taking the wicket of Henry Nicholls and that triggered a collapse. Ravindra Jadeja was the main bowler in the last session though as his 3 wickets in that session put India just 1 wicket away from a memorable victory. But nature had different plans and bad light denied them a victory.
The Kiwis did lose Will Young in their chase but William Somerville and Tom Latham were very impressive with the way they batted. New Zealand did not lose a single wicket in the first session of Day 5 and there would have been plenty of nerves in the Indian camp. But after Lunch, things turned around. Somerville fell and Latham too had to walk back to the hut. They received another big blow in the form of Ross Taylor just before Tea and Kane Williamson was the lone man standing.
Phew, what a finish! What a finish! New Zealand have saved the Test by the barest of margins here. It looked like India would seal this one but the light hasn't worked in their favour. Rachin Ravindra and Ajaz Patel would have had their hearts in the mouth in the last half hour of play but they have managed to save this Test!
Stopped for bad light! Not called off yet. Not called off. But we have stopped for bad light. If the light improves, we can resume again. There are handshakes in the New Zealand camp already but there are another 11 minutes of play possible though! Well, well, I think they are calling it off! YUP, PLAY CALLED OFF! Kane Williamson walks out with his side and there are handshakes all around! What a nail-biting finish! THE FIRST TEST ENDS IN A DRAW!

DRINKS! This is turning out to be a nail-biting finish here! Just the three wickets needed and there are over 10 overs to go. The second new ball is available but not taken yet. The pitch has started to play tricks a lot more than we have seen in this game. The Indian bowlers are bowling well but Rachin Ravindra and Kyle Jamieson are up to the task so far. India though know another wicket here and they can surely get the remaining two quickly. For New Zealand, a lot depends on this pair. An exciting one hour or so remains.

Ravindra Jadeja To Rachin Ravindra
NOT OUT! THE IMPACT IS OUTSIDE OFF! The New Zealand will camp will breathe a huge sigh of releif. Ravindra survives. He is the last recognized batter. However, this is not a wicket which you should be playing back but the good thing is, he got his pads outside the line of off. This is flatter and outside off, spins back in sharply and also stays low. Ravnidra stays back and looks to defend but it sneaks under the bat and hits the pad. An appeal and the finger is raised. Rachin Ravindra reviews and replays show that the on-field call has to be overturned.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Tom Blundell OUT!
OUT! TIMBER! That is one of the strangest dismissals seen! Blundell can consider himself a tad unlucky. India won't care though as they are now in the bowling all-rounders. Just the three wickets away now with over 15 overs left. This is an off spinner. It lands on off and turns back in. Blundell looks to defend, it hits the inner half, lands beside him but on a footmark, it spins back onto the stumps and clips the leg bail. He can't believe what has just happened. Shakes his head as he walks back. Just like the first innings, he was looking solid but falls in an unfortunate manner.

We are back for the final session! Henry Nicholls will join Kane Williamson in the middle. Ravindra Jadeja will finish his over. Here comes the last session...
... DAY 5, SESSION 3 ...
Three wickets is what New Zealand have lost in this session and they will be pretty disappointed. Somerville fell on the very first ball after the Lunch break. Latham and Williamson then fought hard but Ashwin got rid of the left-hander. Williamson and Taylor then began the blockathon and it seemed like the Kiwis would head into Tea three down but then Jadeja struck gold. A lot will depend on Williamson now, he needs to hang in there, probably till the end. Can the others handle the pressure? An exciting last session awaits so do join us at 2:30 pm Local (9 am GMT) for the same!
A wicket right at the stroke of Tea has changed things! A draw looked the most likely result when Williamson and Taylor were there but that has now changed, India are into the middle order of the Kiwis which can be termed as fragile and they have just over 30 overs. The hosts would surely fancy their chances especially with the new ball around the corner. The key is, they need to be patient and just hit the right lines and lengths.

He never looked comfortable out in the middle and his struggle against left-arm spinners continues. Jadeja bowls it quicker through the air and lands it around off, the ball goes on with the angle. Taylor gets forward to block but he misses and gets trapped in front. Jadeja puts in an appeal and the umpire raises his finger in no time! Huge wicket this for India as New Zealand lose their fourth wicket. That will be Tea on Day 5!

Ravichandran Ashwin To Ross Taylor
NOT OUT! Ross Taylor survives! Ashwin errs in line and sprays this one down leg. Taylor looks to flick but misses as the ball spins down leg. Srikar Bharat behind the sticks moves quickly to his left to grab the ball. He whips the bails off and Bharat puts in an appeal! The replays suggests that it was very close than it looked like in real-time but the TV umpire decides to go in the batter's favour as he thinks that Taylor had his back foot grounded and as a result, Taylor escapes!
The TV umpire has been called in. They are checking for stumping of Kane Williamson. No bat on that as they first check UltraEdge. Kane Williamson drags his back foot in but the issue is whether his foot is in the air. But the umpire decides that it is not out.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Tom Latham OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! CHOPPED ON! Shorter ball, outside off. Latham looks to push it with his feet glued to the crease. All he gets is the inside edge and the ball goes back onto the stumps! Is that the opening that gets India back in the game? We will see. We surely have an interesting phase of cricket coming up in the next couple of hours. Also, with that wicket, Ravichandran Ashwin has gone past Harbhajan Singh's tally of 417 wickets for India in Tests. Ross Taylor is the next batter.

Drinks! A really good show by New Zealand. Kane Williamson has joined Latham and both of them are looking quite good. It is quite clear that they are playing for a draw here so the Indian bowlers will have to work very hard for their wickets here. There is still plenty of time for them to take the remaining 8 wickets.

Umesh Yadav To William Somerville OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! What a catch that is! What a start that is for India after the break! Not sure what they had for lunch but whatever it was, has worked. Credit though to Gill. The wicket has been taken by Yadav but it is Gill who needs to be credited. First ball after a break, you probably would be on your heels as a fielder but that is not the case here, excellent effort and an excellent take. Yadav, from around the wicket, bangs it short and on the body. William Somerville takes on the challenge of pulling it, he hits it uppishly towards fine leg. Gill rushes in, dives forward and takes it inches above the ground. The Indians are delighted. William Somerville walks back after playing a gritty knock. The nightwatchman surely did his job. However, this will lift the Indian spirits.
The second session is set to get underway! The Indian players stride out to the middle. Tom Latham and William Somerville are at the crease. Umesh Yadav to start after Lunch.
... DAY 5, SESSION 2 ...
Now just the 59 overs left in the day's play! India need 9 wickets and New Zealand just over 200 runs. The latter result looks highly unlikely as the Kiwis themselves seem to be playing for a draw. Will we see a change in approach though by them or will India weave their magic after Lunch? We will find out at 12:10 pm Local (6:40 am GMT)!
India on the other hand, have to continue to be patient. They would know, a wicket here could change things as it is not easy to begin on this wicket. For now, though, the wicket seems to have eased out quite a lot. There is a delivery or two which has spun big but apart from that, it still looks a good one to bat on. The hosts though would hope things change after the break.
New Zealand's first task when they began today morning would be to get through the first session with minimal damage and they have passed that with flying colors! Really don't think they themselves would have expected to go unscathed into the Lunch break. Top, top stuff from Latham and William. They have looked solid, assured and have shown great character so far. Yes, the wicket probably does not have a lot of demons in it but the two have played brilliantly. They still can't rest on their laurels though as there is still a long way to go.

Another appeal but for a caught behind this time and the umpire is unmoved! A bumper, just outside off. Somerville stays back and looks to poke at it but the ball whistles past his outside edge.
DRINKS! New Zealand have been brilliant this morning. William Somerville is growing in confidence while Tom Latham has been as solid as ever. They would want these two to bat as long as possible here. For India, patience is the name of the game as one wicket might be enough to turn the game on its head.

Ravindra Jadeja To Tom Latham
NOT OUT! Leg bye! Not a good review from the hosts and they lose one in the process! Jadeja lands it in the rough, outside off, turning in sharply. Latham stays back and looks to block but he misses and gets hit on his pad. Jadeja puts in an appeal but the umpire says no. Ajinkya Rahane opts for a review but the Ball Tracker suggests that the impact was way outside off so the on-field decision stays and Tom Latham survives!
Review time! India review this for LBW but the impact might be outside off. No bat on that. But the impact is at least two stumps outside off.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Tom Latham
Ashwin angles this on the pads. Latham works it past square leg for one.
We are set to get the final day underway! Ajinkya Rahane has his team in a huddle before leading India out on the field. Seems like Srikar Bharat is still the man with gloves. Tom Latham and William Somerville walk out to bat. Ravichandran Ashwin is set to start with the ball.
PITCH REPORT - Simon Doull says that the pitch hasn't deteriorated as much as he expected at the start of the Test. Adds that New Zealand need to bat really well against spin and especially against Axar Patel. Deep Dasgupta says that the batters should look to use the feet against the spin. He adds that it still looks okay to bat on but it is going to be hard work for the visitors.
Have to say, an India win looks the most likely. We saw the pitch starting to play tricks towards the end of Day 4 and it is not going to get any easier. One thing is for sure, we are going to see a lot of spin from the Indians today. The Kiwis will need a spectacular effort from one of their stars if they are going to have any chance. Do they have a hero in their side?
Hello and welcome to the coverage of the last day of what has been an excellent first Test between India and New Zealand. The game is perfectly set up for a fascinating finish. All three results are highly likely. India need 9 wickets, the Kiwis require another 280 runs and both have 90 overs to complete their respective tasks. Will we see a side take a lead or is it going to remain 0-0 heading into the next game? Stay tuned...
... DAY 5, SESSION 1 ...
A lot will now depend on the New Zealand middle order, the likes of Latham, Williamson and Taylor will hold the key! They need to step up because that is probably the only chance the Kiwis have to save or win this game. India on the other hand, need to be patient, the wicket is worsening as the game progresses and if they bowl the right lines and lengths, it is not going to be easy for the visitors. What will the final result be then? We will find out on Day 5. The action begins at 9:30 am local (4 am GMT) so set your alarms accordingly. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Shreyas Iyer is down for a chat. He says that he has been in such situations before during his Ranji Trophy days so he was looking to spend time at the crease. Adds that he knew that he would be the first Indian to score a hundred and a fifty on his debut but winning is what matters. States that it was difficult to curb his attacking instincts but the instructions from Rahul Dravid were to bat as long as possible. Informs that there wasn't much happening on the wicket so they wanted to get to a competitive total before declaring the innings.
New Zealand will be mighty disappointed that they could not press home the advantage given by their pacers this morning. Iyer, Saha, Patel and Ashwin bailed India out of trouble. India declared with not many overs left in the day, they started with their spinners and that worked as they have broken the opening partnership which really troubled them in the first innings.
India's day without any doubt! We surely did not think we would be writing that after the first session but now, the visitors have their backs against the wall. They would have loved to enter Day 5 unscathed and that could have well been the case had they taken the review in time. But that is not the case and the hosts need 9 wickets to win the game whereas the visitors have to score 280 to take a 1-0 lead. A draw is also quite possible but a result seems on the cards.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Will Young OUT!
OUT! LBW! Will Young runs out of time to review it! Tossed up, this lands outside off. Stays low and comes back in. Young looks to block but gets hit on the pads. The finger is raised. Young has a chat with Latham and it is a long chat. The timer runs out and then Young shows the sign for a review. The Indian fielders immediately point that out and the umpire too, is aware of it and denies the review. OH MY, MY! The ball was spinning down the leg stumps! If only Young had been a bit quicker to review. Early wicket for India, they would love another one too.

Tossed up, lands outside off and comes back in. Young blocks it off the front foot.
So, Saha is seen going back into the dressing room! He was struggling with a neck issue, even while batting he never looked 100 percent. Bharat comes in place of him. He was very impressive in the first innings too.
