Inn Break
That is it from this superb game of cricket. We all need a breather after this game but the action from the T20I series is not over. Join us for the 4th T20I of the series on Friday, 31st January. That game will begin at 2000 local (0700 GMT). Hope to see you for that one. Till then, cheers!
Virat Kohli, the Indian skipper, says that it is an unbelievable game and they looked down and out. Credits Williamson for a wonderful knock and is sad for him not crossing the line. States that Shami showed all his experience and got the game back for us. Praises Rohit as he states that he gave us a good start and got us over the line. Shami bowled two pressure balls and delivered. States that they have to stay calm and that is what they did when New Zealand scored 17 in the Super Over. Finishes by saying that Saini and Sundar are waiting in the wings but the idea is to win the remaining two games.
Kane Williamson, the New Zealand skipper,says that they have been involved in Super Overs and they don't have a good record. Adds that it was much better performance than last time. Is happy with how they came back with the ball in the first innings. Goes on to say that it feels good to spend time out in the middle and build partnerships. Is disappointed with not getting over the line. States that overall it was a better performance. Williamson goes on to say that they spoke about getting 15 or 20 more.
For his heroics in the Super Over but don't forget his smacking 68 in the first innings. Rohit Sharma has been named the Man of the Match. Rohit says that he has never done that before and he was waiting for the bowlers to make a mistake in the Super Over. Goes to say that it was a good performance but was disappointed with the way he got out in the first innings. Adds that it is important for the senior members to step up as if they had won the match, they would have won the series.
Earlier in the day, India after a rollicking start failed to get to 200 and scored 179 from their 20 overs courtesy of a brisk 68 from Rohit Sharma. After the tourists lost the plot in the middle of their innings, cameos from Kohli, Jadeja and Manish Pandey took them to a very good total of 179. Hamish Bennett made strong comeback with the ball after going for 40 in his first two overs. He managed to finish with three wickets.
Then it was time for the Super Over! Just like Shami in the final over of the regulation game, many expected Bumrah to bounce back and change the kind of day he was having. But that did not come and Williamson once again got the better of the pacer. He along with Guptill managed to score 17 off the final over. Now it looked like New Zealand have taken the long route but will get the win and end their duck for the series but the fight between New Zealand and Super Over continued. The first 4 balls were okay. Southee had 10 to defend from the last two. That's when Hitman removed his snipper and shot New Zealand's hope smacking two sixes of the last two balls and breaking all the Kiwi hearts. The wounds of 2019 World Cup final were just starting to heal but this loss has once again revitalized those agony for the New Zealand fans.
It was a very indescribable day for the Indian bowlers. They were not at their best. Their strike bowlers, Bumrah and Shami had an off day. The former was not his usual self, he looked frustrated, annoyed and just could not manage to find the yorkers with consistency like he generally does. He conceded 45 from his 4. Jadeja and Thakur were the stars of the show before the final over. Jadeja went for less than 6 rpo and picked up a wicket. Thakur had two from his 3 overs and gave just 21. Chahal had one wicket as well but was expensive. Shami had a horrid day before the final over. Defending 9, he was hit for a 6 off the first ball but then he made a comeback like he has done on so many occasions. He managed to take the game in the Super Over and keep his side in the hut.
Chasing 180, New Zealand got off to a decent start as Guptill took the charge when Munro struggled. Guptill departed just before the opening stand could reach 50. Munro soon joined his partner. Kane Williamson, the ice-cool man of New Zealand. The messiah, took the control of the game. He took charge and built partnerships first with Santner, then Colin de Grandhomme. The former two struggled, the skipper saw that and took on the role of the aggressor we rarely see from him. Ross Taylor then joined him and the two experienced campaigners almost saw their side home but only for the dreaded final over where once can say they shot themselves on their own foot. Needing 9 off the final over, Taylor tonked a six in the first ball of the final over but then they choked under pressure and could not manage to score the remaining 3. They could score only 2 to get the match to Super Over!
What a finish!!! Rohit Sharma you beauty! India were down and out but out of nowhere they managed to drag the game in the Super Over and even then they were on the back foot but they have done the stuff of champions. Rohit Sharma you masterpiece! The miracle man from Mumbai, the new superman of Indian cricket! He has done the unthinkable and wrapped up the series for the Men in Blue! Once again it is the Super Over which plays the role of the antagonist for New Zealand and has brought about their downfall. The curse of the Super Over continues to haunt them and they just cannot find a way to get rid of it.
Ball 6: Southee to Rohit, SIX! Sharma has hoisted it over long off for a biggie! INDIA WIN THE SUPER OVER! What a poor delivery yet again by Southee under pressure. He delivers it full and on middle, Rohit clears his front leg and rifles it over wide long off for the winning runs. Look at the joy in the Indian camp. They have found a way to make a comeback in this match and have now taken an unassailable lead in the series.
Ball 5: Southee to Rohit, SIX! This one is out of the ground! Rohit, you beauty! Southee errs big time. Serves it in the slot, Sharma clears his front leg and launches it over mid-wicket for a maximum. 4 needed off 1 ball.
Ball 4: Southee to Rahul, 1 run! 10 needed off 2 balls. Pressure everywhere. Southee spears in a very full ball on middle, Rahul shuffles back for a big shot but only manages to drag it down towards long on.
Ball 3: Southee to Rahul, FOUR! Rahul finds the fence! Southee once again bowls a full toss outside off, KL shuffles across the stumps and smashes it through backward square leg for a boundary. 11 needed off 3 balls.
Ball 2: Southee to Rohit, 1 run! A low full toss on middle, Rohit once again inside edges his attempted heave across the line. The ball travels to fine leg and they cross.
Ball 1: Southee to Rohit, 2 runs! RUN OUT CHANCE MISSED! A length ball around middle, Rohit goes for a big heave across the line but it takes the inner half and rolls to deep mid-wicket. Sharma wants the second and scampers across to the other end. KL is hesitant in taking off but Rohit scoots. He makes it with a dive as the keeper fails to collect the ball cleanly.
What a finish from New Zealand. They have managed to score 17 runs off the Super Over and India have a very difficult task of scoring 18 to wrap up the series. Kudos to Williamson and Guptill. They have taken on Bumrah in the Super Over who has had a poor evening. The onus now will be on the Kiwi bowler who will take the ball for the Super Over as the batters have done their job. It will be interesting to see which two batters come out to bat for India. New Zealand are the one in the driver's seat. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are the nominated batsmen for the visitors. Tim Southee to bowl the pressure over. Here we go...
Ball 6: Bumrah to Guptill, FOUR! Guptill nails it this time! Bumrah once again bowls a full toss on middle and Guptill hammers it across the line. The long on fielder moves across to his right but fails to cut it off. New Zealand end on 17/0!
Ball 5: Bumrah to Williamson, Bye! Swing and a miss! Back of a length delivery outside off, Kane swings at it massively but is beaten. They cross for a bye and there is a near collision between the batsmen.
Ball 4: Bumrah to Williamson, FOUR! The Kiwi skipper is on fire! Bumrah fails to land his yorker and Williamson takes it on the full. He muscles it over extra cover and finds the fence.
Ball 3: Bumrah to Williamson, SIX! Kane is the man! Bumrah once again delivers it full and outside off, Williamson shuffles across the stumps and dispatches it over backward square leg. New Zealand need many more like these.
Ball 2: Bumrah to Guptill, 1 run! UPPISH BUT SAFE! A full toss around off, Guptill goes straight and lofts it over mid off. No timing at all and it doesn't carry to the fielder in the deep. They cross.
Ball 1: Bumrah to Williamson, 1 run! A length ball is angled into the batsman, Williamson swings it over mid-wicket and crosses for one.
Kohli is having a discussion with Ravi Shastri as to who will bowl the Super Over. Looks like it will be Jasprit Bumrah. Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill are the nominated batsmen for the hosts.
What drama we have just witnessed in the last over! When Taylor hit the six off the first ball of the last over, it looked all over for India. Shami did not give up though as he picked up the wicket of Kane Williamson and gave just a single off the next two balls. Taylor had just a single to take the last ball but missed. Shami did not as the ball went on to hit the stumps and it followed into a Super Over. Brilliant last over from Mohammed Shami.

Mohammed Shami To Ross Taylor OUT!
OUT! Bowled! Shami has done the unthinkable, especially after being hit for a maximum on the first ball of the over. Folks, we are in for a Super Over! Full around off, Taylor looks to play it on the up but ends up getting a thick inside edge which goes onto hit the stumps. What a comeback from Shami! Champion stuff from a champion player.
Rahul has removed his one glove.

Mohammed Shami To Kane Williamson OUT!
OUT! Caught! Is there a twist in the tale here? Williamson departs after playing a wonderful innings. Back of a length around off, Williamson looks to play it over point but the ball zips off the surface and kisses the outside edge of the bat which goes to the right of the keeper. Rahul takes it and goes down on the ground. 2 needed off 3 now.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Kane Williamson
Slower and flighted outside off, Williamson punches it wide of long off and calls for two straightaway. They put the pressure on the fielder and that's the reason the throw from the fielder is a poor one at the keeper's end. That is what pressure does.

Good throw from the keeper and it might have been close. Flatter one on middle, Taylor works it to the deep mid-wicket region and takes off for a couple. The fielder has a shy the bowler's end but it is a wide throw allowing Williamson to make it back.
Yuzvendra Chahal will finish his quota. 3-0-27-1 are his figures.

Full outside off, de Grandhomme looks to go over cover but gets a thick outside edge which flies towards short third man. Dube there takes the catch.

FOUR! Fifty for Kane Williamson! The skipper is once again keeping his side in the game just like he has done in so many previous occasions. Shorter on off, Williamson pulls it over square leg and gets a boundary to get to his milestone. He raises his bat but it is a subdued celebration from the skipper as he knows the onus will be on him to take his side home. India were at the same score at this stage. 66 needed off the last 6 overs.

What has happened there? Looks like de Grandhomme has not got his bat in cleanly. Short ball on off, Williamson guides it to short third man for a single. The fielder collects and throws it to the keeper. Rahul does not think to whip the bails off. De Grandhomme as he was running, his bat got stuck on the pitch.

NOT OUT! Williamson is just about in. Flatter and quicker outside off, Kane lunges forward and looks to drive it on the up but misses. Rahul whips the bails off quickly but Williamson is quick to get his foot back in and down. Williamson is down on the floor and the square leg umpire goes to the T.V umpire for help. It is a very close call as from one angle it looks like his foot is down but from the other it looks like his foot is not. The third umpire after a long thought gives the benefit of the doubt to the batsman and signals Not Out on the giant screen.
What has happened there? Looks like the the umpire has taken a stumping appeal upstairs. The replays show that it is a stumping chance. The replays confirm that and they show that Williamson was looking out of his crease. Is he though? The third umpire thinks otherwise.

OUT! TIMBER! Santner's experiment does not work. Flatter one on middle, Santner looks to flick but misses and the ball goes onto hit the middle stump. Mitchell Santner was sent to counter-attack but he has not done his job and has to make a long walk back to the pavilion. The umpire goes upstairs to check whether it is a no ball but Jadeja is fine on that front.

Jasprit Bumrah To Mitchell Santner
DROPPED! Jadeja puts down Santner. Not the easiest but not the toughest as well. Slower ball on middle and leg, Santner looks to tuck it on the leg side but getes beaten by the pace. It takes the leading edge and goes behind point. Thakur runs in from deep, Jadeja runs behind from point. He does the difficult part of getting there but he overruns a bit. The ball falls around his chest and he looks to take it with his fingers pointing towards the sky. The ball goes in and comes out of his hand. Bumrah is disappointed. We very rarely see Jadeja dropping catches.

Beauty! Quicker and turning in. Santner looks to play it on the off side but the ball goes right between the bat and pad but also misses the stump.
Just like India, the Kiwis too are experimenting. They have sent Mitchell Santner up the order.

Ravindra Jadeja To Colin Munro OUT!
OUT! Stumped! Jadeja strikes in his first over. Munro's struggling knock comes to an end. Flatter and straighter on off. Colin comes down the track and looks to flat-bat it on the off side but misses it completely. He is so far down the track that the only reason he looks back is to go to the dugout. Rahul does the easy work and just like India, New Zealand lose both their openers in quick succession.

FOUR BYES! Slower delivery outside off, Munro looks to lift it straight but misses. KL Rahul dives to his right but fails to collect it cleanly. The ball goes past him and into the fence.
Will it be the skipper at Kane Williamson at number 3 or just like India, will they experiment? No experiment from the Kiwis as it is Kane Williamson who walks out at number 3.

Shardul Thakur To Martin Guptill OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Guptill perishes after giving another start. This was not a wicket-taking delivery but Martin has hit it straight to the deep cover fielder. Short ball outside off, Guptill stands tall and cuts it. It goes uppishly towards deep cover. Sanju Samson, the substitute, lunges forward and takes the catch. India are elated and rightly so.
