India vs New Zealand 3rd Test Day 1 Highlights -
- 16:57 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: WICKET!17.3 - Mohammed Siraj is gone! And the idea of sending a nightwatchman has not worked for India. Siraj has been dismissed LBW on the very first ball he has faced. Ajaz Patel and New Zealand are on cloud nine. Siraj has taken a review after a long discussion with Shubman Gill, who was at the non-striker's end. Out is the final result and Siraj has also burned a review. India's head coach Gautam Gambhir gives a stern look from the dugout.
- 16:49 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: OUT!Yashasvi Jaiswal has been cleaned up by Ajaz Patel. You live by the sword, you die by it! The reverse sweep was fetching runs to Jaiswal and he eventually perishes while playing one such shot. He picked the wrong line to play the shot as it was pitched around leg stump.
- 16:33 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: FOUR!Thta is a brilliant sweep shot from Shubman Gill to start the over of Ajaz Patel. Gill timed it to perfection for a four through square leg region. The ball made a crunching sound when it met the bat, such good was the shot! Okay, there is another sweep from Gill for a four. This time it is through the backward square leg.
- 16:29 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: Blundell is hurt!Tom Blundell has taken another blow on his head. He earlier got hit from a rising delivery and now once again, he has received a blow. He got blinded with Shubman Gill blocking his vision with his defence on the Glenn Phillips delivery. The ball got a bit of extra bounce and hit Blundell's helmet. The physio checks on the wicketkeeper and it all seems good. Match resumes.
- 15:55 (IST)IND vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 1 Live: Big lifeline for RohitOHH!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE O'ROURKE!!!! Rohit Sharma hammers a shot off Matt Henry's delivery towards the backward square leg. William O'Rourke gets both his hands towards the ball but fails to grab it properly and drops it. Rohit gets a major lifeline as Kiwi star gives a disappointing reaction.
- 15:49 (IST)IND vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 1 Live: Rohit on fireAfter assessing the situation for a bit, India skipper Rohit Sharma makes his intentions clear and starts dealing in boundaries. He hits another boundary off Matt Henry's delivery and provides India with the momentum. It's on a short of length outside off, Rohit transfers his weight back and punches it through the vacant cover region.
- 15:42 (IST)IND vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 1 Live: 6 runs off the overRohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal are not rushing things and taking everything cautiously. In the previous over of Matt Henry, Rohit Sharma hammers another boundary as the Kiwi pacer leaks six runs. Jasiwal, who has played nine balls so far, is yet to open his run tally. It will be interesting to see how he will be approaching the proceedings today.
- 15:37 (IST)IND vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 1 Live: Rohit off the mark in styleAfter Matt Henry provided New Zealand a good start with a maiden first over, India bounce back in style and clear their intentions. On the second delivery of the second over by William ORourke, Rohit Sharma gets off the mark with a boundary. Rohit slashes it hard and he clears backward point who leaps and Will Young palms it over the bar, went quickly and Young had no time.
- 15:30 (IST)IND vs NZ, 3rd Test Day 1 Live: We are backAfter bundling out New Zealand for 235, India have started their innings in the third Test. For India, skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal have started the proceedings. The duo need to form a solid partnership as India aim for a good start. On the other hand, Matt Henry will be bowling the first over for New Zealand. Let's play!!
- 15:16 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: New Zealand all out for 235!New Zealand are all out for 235 runs. This is a brilliant comeback from India as New Zealand were 159 for 3 at one point. Thanks to Ravindra Jadeja's five-wicket haul and Washington Sundar's tight bowling towards the end that helped India make a remarkable comeback.
- 15:13 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: OUT!Big wicket for India! Daryl Mitchell is gone! He has been dismissed by Washington Sundar in one of the most ordinary deliveries. It was a simple short ball, angling outside. Mitchell wanted to guide it past Rohit Sharma at first slip but he ended giving a catch to the India captain there. He departs after scoring 82 off 129 balls.
- 14:54 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: OUT!Ish Sodhi is gone and that is the wicket number four for Ravindra Jadeja. It was bowled around middle and leg stump and it spun from there to miss the bat's outside edge and hit the back pad of Sodhi. Umpire raised his finger on the LBW appeal and Sodhi would not review it.
- 14:49 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: A chance there!59.2 - A misjudgement from Sarfaraz Khan at backward square and Daryl Mitchell survived. He got a top edge on the Sundar delivery but Sarfaraz instead went to save the boundary than going for the catch. He later clarified Rohit that he was unable to spot the ball early, maybe due to the sun.
- 14:32 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: A crucial session!India need to bundle out New Zealand as soon as possible as the ball has started doing its bit.

- 14:23 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: Too much head at Wankhede Stadium!There is a lot of heat at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and that seems to be taking a toll on the players.

- 14:14 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: Big feat for Jadeja!Ravindra Jadeja has surpassed Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan in the list of India bowlers with most Test wickets.

- 14:00 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: Fifty for Mitchell!51.5 - Daryl Mitchell races to his half-century in 90 balls. He gets there with a single. This has been a gritty knock from the New Zealand batting all-rounder. He is facing a lot of trouble due to the heat at Wankhede Stadium, but he continues to stay solid for the Blackcaps.
- 13:33 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: OUT!Another New Zealand wicket goes down. That is a beauty from Ravindra Jadeja and Tom Blundell has no answer for it.

- 12:23 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: Fifty for Will Young!FIFTY!!! Will Young hits a six on Washington Sundar's delivery and brings up his half-century in style.

Despite losing three early wickets, New Zealand are still in a good position.
- 12:22 (IST)IND vs NZ 3rd Test Live: Huge appeal for LBW!Daryl Mitchell tried to play a reverse sweep on the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja. He failed to time it well and the ball hit his pad.
