The target is a chasable one but the wicket is a little tough! If the dew comes in, it could get easier otherwise, there is some movement and the bounce is a little up and down. New Zealand will need early wickets and India will know they will have to play the new ball well. Join us for the chase in a bit.
The new-ball bowlers were brilliant for India. The likes of Bumrah, Siraj and Shami were excellent but in the middle overs, India were not upto the mark, with the ball and in the field. The spinners were not as effective and the fielding was also not at its best. However, the likes of Kuldeep Yadav came back strongly later on. Mohammed Shami was at his best on his return to the side. He ended with a five-fer. Bumrah yet again did an exceptional job in the end and Siraj and Jadeja supported them really well.
An outstanding comeback from India in the last 10 overs and they will surely be happier of the two sides heading into the break! This though has been an inning of fightbacks. First, it was India who began brilliantly as they got two early wickets. However, the Kiwis then fought back courtesy of Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra and the dropped catch of Rachin by Ravindra Jadeja also aided their cause. The pair added a massive stand before Rachin Ravindra fell. Once the left-hander fell, the others coming in just could not adapt to the pace of the surface. They found run-scoring really tough. Daryl Mitchell was also starved of the strike. He though stayed there till the last over to take his side to competitive total.
