12.49pm So it took New Zealand 79 minutes to take six Indian wickets. India could add only 47. What a collapse. The New Zealanders walk back, with the openers strutting forward to pad up. The game should end even before the sun rises in India

James McCaghrey: "If this is a 10 wicket win, it will be New Zealand's 5th 10 wicket win, 3 of which would be against India. And India's first 10 wicket loss since 2013 against South africa, though England have beaten them by an innings 3 times since then. "

SG: "So if NZ gets these runs before lunch, it's basically a 3 day test... And Kohli doesn't like 4 day tests proposed by ICC" -- Hmm yeah, with one session washed out on day one

Southee to Bumrah, OUT, one handed catch at second slip! And Southee has five. Yorker outside off, Bumrah looks to dig it away, but it takes the edge and Mitchell dives to his right, sticks one hand out, and it stays in his palms! New Zealand need nine to win

JJ Bumrah c sub (DJ Mitchell) b Southee 0 (3m 3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Southee to Bumrah, no run, full, on off, and shaping away. Bumrah goes for a straight drive, misses, and he's lucky the ball moved so much that it missed the off stump as well

Hm: "Where is the fighting spirit? Keep grinding. The chance to win or draw was slim to none but make NZ work hard to earn a win. The new generation. Smh. They believe in win or lose. Lately... that's the norm. Perhaps, that's what Kohli and co. are afraid for 4 day test. Draw = Boring. "

Budhaditya Gosw: "This is where I miss legend VVS Laxman , fighting spirit with tail enders. Good old days"

de Grandhomme to Sharma, OUT, ball stays low and Ishant has been caught napping. Full on off, but it doesn't bounce as much and Ishant plays outside the line of the ball. Hits him in front of middle, and that is surely hitting middle and leg
