- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR20.5 short, wide, taken at point! No mistake from Ajaz here. Short, wide, Jaiswal was itching to break free. He cuts it firmly but can't keep it down. Ajaz snags a low catch. India are four down. Could've been five down had Blundell not dropped Pant 31/46.3 top of leg. Done in by seam. Rohit trying to hit them off their length by charging down, but this wobble-seam ball nips back in appreciably to hit the wicket. A huge roar from the crowd. It is Virat Kohli coming in at 3 9/18.6 leg gully claiming the catch. This will go to the third umpire. Jabs back in a long way from short of a length, takes the top glove, Phillips dives forward to take a superb and a clean catch. O'Rourke has struck in his first over in India. Sounds like a morgue at Chinnaswamy 9/29.4 stunner at mid-off. Sarfaraz tries to counterattack, looks to go down the ground, ends up mis-hitting but mid-off is wide as it usually is in such conditions. Conways sticks out his right hand, diving, and grabs this with the ball past his body 10/325.3 this is the big blow. The metronomic Henry strikes again. On a length, just nibbling it enough. Wobble seam, around leg, on a length, makes him play, nips away, takes the edge, and second slip does the rest 39/822.4 Will O'Rourke is making a serious impression in his first Test in India. O'Rourke ventures wide of the crease and gets it to drift down the leg side. Much fuller in length. With GP in place at leg gully/leg slip, it's the bluff. Rahul does not get enough bat on ball. He can only deflect it behind to the keeper. Blundell holds onto this. Another opportunity missed for Rahul in Test cricket 33/523.5 Loops up to point via a soft leading edge. Another catch for Ajaz at point. Good length and on leg stump, Jadeja aims to flick it over the leg side, but is a bit early onto the shot. Henry now generates some extra bounce and has Jadeja flapping a catch to point 34/623.6 the 36 all out is still on. Henry is on a hat-trick. This is the perfect ball. On a good length, just outside off, Ashwin has to play at it. The ball nips away and kicks off, takes the shoulder off the bat, and an easy catch at gully 34/731.2 well deserved fifth wicket and 100 across his Test career! Matt Henry has been sensational for New Zealand - all through his career, even when he was surplus to requirements with Southee and Boult and Wagner commanding their spots in the XI. He never gave up and now he has a five-for in India against India, who are bowled out for 46, their lowest total at home! The wicket happens with a back of a length ball that lures Kuldeep, for once, to play away from the body and the outside edge goes to gully's left, where the sub fielder Bracewell dives and picks up a blinder. 46/1026.2 Henry is doing everything. Not only is he bowling like a machine, he has taken a superb diving catch in the deep. Bumrah doesn't fancy defending much, the ball nips back in towards his head, Bumrah throws his bat at it, gets a top edge towards deep square leg. Henry runs to his left from fine leg and puts in the final dive to complete the catch. That's a full-on sprint that Henry has put in 40/9Extras4 (lb 1, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL46 all out (31.2 Overs, RR: 1.46)Fall of wickets: 1-9 (Rohit Sharma, 6.3 ov), 2-9 (Virat Kohli, 8.6 ov), 3-10 (Sarfaraz Khan, 9.4 ov), 4-31 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 20.5 ov), 5-33 (KL Rahul, 22.4 ov), 6-34 (Ravindra Jadeja, 23.5 ov), 7-34 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 23.6 ov), 8-39 (Rishabh Pant, 25.3 ov), 9-40 (Jasprit Bumrah, 26.2 ov), 10-46 (Kuldeep Yadav, 31.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR17.1 another huge lbw appeal but its not given on field and Kuldeep has once again convinced his captain for a second opinion. This looked real close though. Gorgeous drift into the left-hander. So much that Latham, who is an expert against spin bowling, is left to play down the wrong line. He is defending outside the ball, which pitches real full and almost goes straight, past the inside edge to hit low on the front pad. Hawk-Eye reveals three reds and Reiffel overturns his earlier call. Excellent work from Kuldeep, both with the ball and in making sure he didn't let the last review affect his thought process about this one 67/139.1 No hundred for Conway. Tossed up and full from round the stumps, the ball dips, creating distance between the bat and the pitch. Conway dares to reverse-sweep from the stumps again, does not meet with the ball this time. The ball crashes into the stumps and Conway falls nine short of a hundred 154/336.3 that dropped chance off Young hasn't cost them much. Part of credit goes to Rohit. The extra catching man means one man fewer on the leg side. Young takes the temptation to sweep, Jadeja gets turn and bounce, and the top edge settles with short fine leg. New Zealand lead by 100 142/291.3 Ravindra goes for another six, but this time he top-edges a sweep behind to Jurel, who is subbing for Pant. End of a stellar innings from Ravindra. Rahul and a number of other India players walk up to him and congratulate him. Looped up and slightly wider of off with some bounce, Ravindra drops down to one knee for a slog-sweep but does not get hold of it. He can only splice it behind to the keeper 402/1054.6 Jaiswal has hurt his finger but he has taken the catch at gully. A loose shot from Mitchell, but Siraj will say he has earned it with some testing bowling this morning. Mitchell has been kept on a leash. He sees a hint of width here, and plays the back-foot punch. All he manages is a thick edge that settles with Jaiswal at gully. It might have swerved late as Jaiswal is in pain at being hit on the edge of the fingers 193/457.4 you can't keep him down for long. Bumrah and Siraj have been superb this morning. Now Bumrah gets rewarded. Just stays in the good-length band with slight nibble either way. This one just holds its line a little and hits Blundell's defensive bat high and on the outside edge. Nice catching height for second slip 204/562.3 Phillips' uncertain stay at the wicket ends. He has not looked comfortable at all. Phillips stays back to a fullish ball, which skids on, hits his pad and then the middle stump 223/664.5 4,4 and wicket! Faster, flatter, quicker, skidding in from left-arm around at 96ks, Henry swings for the hills with no feet and misses it. Jadeja has the ball crashing into middle and leg. India keep chipping away at NZ on the third morning 233/786.4 slower ball does it for Southee. His personal best remains the 77 he scored in his first Test. He picks the slower ball late, and still wants to go aerial into the off side. Sends it only as far as cover, but he has done his job 370/889.5 he has got the decision finally with another wrong'un, but Patel has reviewed immediately suggesting there might be an inside edge. Replays show he has ht it but well after the ball has hit the pad. He is caught dead in front on the back foot, and is gone 384/9Extras15 (b 8, lb 4, nb 1, w 2)TOTAL402 all out (91.3 Overs, RR: 4.39)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Tom Latham, 17.1 ov), 2-142 (Will Young, 36.3 ov), 3-154 (Devon Conway, 39.1 ov), 4-193 (Daryl Mitchell, 54.6 ov), 5-204 (Tom Blundell, 57.4 ov), 6-223 (Glenn Phillips, 62.3 ov), 7-233 (Matt Henry, 64.5 ov), 8-370 (Tim Southee, 86.4 ov), 9-384 (Ajaz Patel, 89.5 ov), 10-402 (Rachin Ravindra, 91.3 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR17.1 oh what mockers I have put on them. Jaiswal lives by the sword, dies by it. Charges at Ajaz early, who stays on a length and the ball doesn't turn to miss the outside edge. Blundell does the rest. A big cheer from the crowd for the next man in 72/121.5 unfortunate. But also slightly lazy. Should he have been awake to the ball rolling back and kick it away? Rohit defends on the front foot, the ball bounces in the crease and spins back onto the stumps. He does look back to see where the ball has gone but he has lost it behind his body. Need to watch more replays to see if he has the time to spot the danger and kick the ball away. A wry smile on Rohit's face. He doesn't look early enough to see where the ball has gone, but I don't think he has the time to kick it away even if he spots it. This has topspun off the defence 95/248.6 GP takes out Kohli off the last ball! GP was celebrating even before the umpire gave it out. Kohli, however, suggests that he didn't nick it and has called for a review of Gough's on-field out decision. The ball seems very close to the outside edge. Yes, it has shaved the outside edge. UltraEdge detects a spike. Kohli has to go. GP can continue the celebrations. What a play. After having got the ball to turn into the right-hander, GP challenges the outside edge with a quick non-turner at 101ks and finds some bounce. Kohli pokes at it and edges it behind to the keeper 231/3Extras4 (lb 3, nb 1)TOTAL231/3 (49 Overs, RR: 4.71)Fall of wickets: 1-72 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 17.1 ov), 2-95 (Rohit Sharma, 21.5 ov), 3-231 (Virat Kohli, 48.6 ov)
