- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.2 what a move to open with Bracewell. Given out lbw to the no-turning offbreak. Kishan reviews it but doesn't look confident. Bracewell has given the ball every chance to go straight on by not bowling it along the seam. The cross -seam delivery lands on a length, and skids straight on, beating the inside edge, hitting him on the knee roll. Ball tracker shows the ball clipping the top of the middle stump. So good bounce in this pitch. Not enough to save Kishan, though. India retain the review as small consolation 7/18.2 again the short ball proves to be the best ball for the spinner. Tripathi is not holding back after that start and is going after everything as is his role. However, this one just hurries onto him and he pulls this straight to deep square leg. Sodhi has used the bigger side of the field well 87/212.3 what a catch by Bracewell. They are going to check it, though. Slower ball, full, Yadav sees the mid-on is up so he tries to go over him. ends up mis-hitting to the right of and in front of mid-on. Bracewell puts in a full-length dive, using his height to get his fingers underneath this. This is a stunning catch 125/319.1 seam-up, on a length, angling across, Pandya gets too much underneath it and skies it for a catch at long-off. What a bowling chance.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 superb catch by Surya at slip. Short of length outside off, Allen looked to hit it over the bowler's head with little footwork. He got an outside edge that seemed to be flying over the cordon but Surya timed his jump to the perfection and caught it with both hands 4/11.1 and he strikes first ball. Was slightly on the fuller side of good length. Conway pushed at it but the bat turned in his hand slightly, resulting in a lob towards mid-off. Hardik took an easy catch there 4/21.6 beauty! Short of length around fourth stump. Chapman pokes at it tentatively but the ball seams away to take a faint outside edge, and settles into Kishan's gloves. New Zealand 5 for 3 5/32.4 that's as close to an action replay it can get. Pandya bangs it in, on that hard length around off. Was angling towards the batter who looked to cut it away but was cramped. A little bit of extra bounce too for Pandya, and all that resulted in an outside edge that flew towards Surya at slip. He once again jump to grab it with both hands over his head 7/412.1 10 for 66 and all that. Another short ball, another wicket, and that's the match and series for India. Mitchell went for the pull but failed to middle it. Mavi came in from deep midwicket. For a moment, it looked like he had lost the sight of the ball, and had to dive forward to grab it 66/104.3 length ball angling towards the stump. Bracewell looks to pull it away but is beaten by the pace of the ball. The ball hits the top of middle 21/58.3 banged in short, angling towards the off side. Santner goes back and pulls it towards deep midwicket but Surya grabs it right at the edge of the boundary line. Balances himself on one foot, and once he is in control of his body, converts it into almost a jig, or a stapoo if you may 53/68.5 Second wicket for Mavi in the over. Was short outside off, Sodhi pushed at it but failed to keep it down. Tripathi took a step to his right and gobbled it up 53/79.4 full, just outside off. Ferguson looks to hoick it on the leg side but fails to middle it and end up hitting it towards mid-on. Umran jumps and takes it near head height 54/811.5 a dolly for Kishan. Short of length at the batter, Tickner was moving towards the leg side but is cramped as he attempts a pull. The ball hits him on the glove and lobs behind the stumps 66/9Extras3 (lb 1, w 2)TOTAL66 all out (12.1 Overs, RR: 5.42)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Finn Allen, 0.5 ov), 2-4 (Devon Conway, 1.1 ov), 3-5 (Mark Chapman, 1.6 ov), 4-7 (Glenn Phillips, 2.4 ov), 5-21 (Michael Bracewell, 4.3 ov), 6-53 (Mitchell Santner, 8.3 ov), 7-53 (Ish Sodhi, 8.5 ov), 8-54 (Lockie Ferguson, 9.4 ov), 9-66 (Blair Tickner, 11.5 ov), 10-66 (Daryl Mitchell, 12.1 ov)
