- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.6 gone! Rohit has been caught and bowled here and India are in a bit of trouble here. Remember, there's no Kohli. Swing does Rohit in. It's very full and swinging in sharply towards middle, Rohit half-pushes at it and ends up chipping it straight back at Boult to give him a dolly on the followthrough 23/25.5 searing inswinger Dhawan has been trapped in front. Will he review? Nope, he walks off. Dhawan tries to close the face to clip it away but can't get underneath it as it's really full. Almost around the blockhole and he is pinned in front of middle and leg 21/111.6 length ball on the stumps, Gill plays it on the up, and straight to Boult, almost a replica of Rohit's dismissal, second caught and bowled for Boult 33/510.2 length outside off, flashes and flashes hard but ends up hitting it straight to Martin Guptill at short cover who times his jump to perfection to take it with both hands, Rayudu departs for a duck 33/310.5 and he edges this one behind, length ball around sixth stump line, Karthik follows it, gets an outside edge and Latham takes a regulation catch. India in trouble here 33/413.1 a touch fuller than a length, swinging back and hitting the batsman on the front pad, up goes the finger, India want to review it, they have to. Pitched on middle, hit right in front of the middle stump and would have crashed into middle, three-fourth of the height 35/619.4 five-for for Boult. A short one has done the trick, was outside leg stump, Pandya fends at it, the ball brushes the gloves and lobs towards Latham behind the stumps 55/816.4 goes straight through. De Grandhomme gets this nip back in just a tad. Bhuvneshwar does not move his feet much and has the bat hanging away from the body. That little gap is all the ball needs to sneak through and skid onto off stump. Series dominators in a deep, deep trench now 40/729.1 ah, what do you know? It doesn't matter. Astle gets one to spin in sharply from a length outside off. Gets a bit of extra bounce as well. Kuldeep is down on one knee to sweep, gets a thick top-edge that sails into the hands of deep backward square 80/930.5 bowled him! India fold for 92, they have gone past their lowest score of 88 against NZ. But this has been quite the disaster for the visitors. This is a searing yorker, angling in, Khaleel jams the bat down and can't do anything about it as the ball sneaks underneath the bat and clatters onto the stumps 92/10Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL92 all out (30.5 Overs, RR: 2.98)Fall of wickets: 1-21 (Shikhar Dhawan, 5.5 ov), 2-23 (Rohit Sharma, 7.6 ov), 3-33 (Ambati Rayudu, 10.2 ov), 4-33 (Dinesh Karthik, 10.5 ov), 5-33 (Shubman Gill, 11.6 ov), 6-35 (Kedar Jadhav, 13.1 ov), 7-40 (Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 16.4 ov), 8-55 (Hardik Pandya, 19.4 ov), 9-80 (Kuldeep Yadav, 29.1 ov), 10-92 (Khaleel Ahmed, 30.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.4 and there it ends. A short-lived burst from Guptill. Didn't go hard at this one or anything. Just closed the face a tad early. This was fuller and angling in towards leg again. Probably stopped on Guptill a tad and he ends up closing the face early. Gets a leading edge to point. India strike early but one-seventh of the target has been shaved off just like that 14/16.2 edged and gone. Williamson's poor series continues. This is a length ball with a bit of width. Williamson is hanging the bat outside, perhaps looking for a dab through backward point. But he can't make up his mind and in the end decides to leave it. Too late, though, and he inadvertently gets an edge as he pulls the bat away and gets a nick through to DK behind the stumps 39/2Extras1 (nb 1)TOTAL93/2 (14.4 Overs, RR: 6.34)Fall of wickets: 1-14 (Martin Guptill, 0.4 ov), 2-39 (Kane Williamson, 6.2 ov)
