2.44pm A few parallels with Christchurch 2020, but there's one important difference here. India in that Test match lost one of their three fast bowlers (Shami) who got injured while batting, and was only able to bowl one short spell. I always thought, for that reason, that the margin of New Zealand's win there flattered them somewhat. Now all of India's bowlers are fit to bowl.

Vikas: "Now Indians are googling weather forecast in Southampton."

Michael: "Paranoid and still traumatized Blackcaps fan here. What if India simply refuses to bowl many overs? Who will be brave enough to tell the to speed up. Has never been a bigger incentive to play for a draw? Oh and how is the weather forecast?" -- The weather's fine, and since it's the final day, I assume they'll play until the overs get bowled, unless the weather intervenes.

Dev: "Same issues for India again, opposition's lower order scoring plenty, Indian lower order folding quickly."

2.38pm New Zealand need 139 in a minimum of 53 overs. What a finish to this World Test Championship. New Zealand have bowled magnificently today, but India have managed to eke out enough through a series of small contributions to make sure they're still in this game. Southee finishes with four wickets, but the pick of New Zealand's bowling today, the man who set the tone in the morning, has been Kyle Jamieson.

India's lead is 138. Can Bumrah help Ishant extend it past 150?

Fly slip in place now, three-fourths of the way to the boundary. Almost a fine third man

No short leg in place, and now leg gully moves back to deep backward square leg.

For whatever reason - sun was out, and maybe some tiredness from the bowler - the ball barely swung in that last Southee over. Boult is back over the wicket now.
