    7.5 That's out lbw, looked dead. No review. Legbreak with the seam pointing towards backward point, it drifted in to land around off and hit low on the pad. Young's bat flicked the pad and missed the ball. Height and line not an issue, that is goodnight nurse. Hawk-Eye shows it'd go on to smash middle and leg. Varun pumps his fist like a boxer, slaps a high-five to KL Rahul 57/1
    10.1 Googly to clatter the stumps, a special ball to dismiss a special batter! 84ks back-of-hander landed a touch back of length around a fourth-stump line, Ravindra shaped to play on the off side but was cramped for room. He had to adjust his shot late but the pace off the pitch didn't allow him to do that, the front toe was pointing up, the bat was neither horizontal nor vertical as he tried to fend last minute; pad got tickled, top of off got smashed. Kuldeep leaps in the air, gets a headlock from Rahul, lots of hugs too. He's broken the game open with his first ball 69/2
    12.2 Spooned back, dolly for Kuldeep. He runs back with his index finger up, gets big hugs from his team-mates, big pop from the crowd too. New Zealand's top order is gone! Stock ball was full on 82ks, around off stump, Williamson lunged across for a flick. Might've wanted to run it to long-on. Not sure if it dipped but KW seemed to be early on the shot. Played well in front of the body, lobbed it to the bowler's right. Batter shakes his head while looking back up. 75/3
    45.4 Straight to cover and Rohit takes a simple catch. Shami gets one back. Slower and fuller outside off stump. Mitchell was looking to launch this over covers, mistimes it completely and Rohit just has to take a couple of steps to his right from extra cover. He takes it safely and Mitchell's difficult innings ends 211/6
    23.2 Oh, he's caught in front and the umpire's finger is up in an instant. That looked plumb on first viewing. But Latham has reviewed. Flatter on middle, Latham goes for a sweep, misses and is caught bang in front. The replays confirm the ball would have crashed into off stump. Latham departs and takes a review with him. NZ in deep, deep trouble. 108/4

    37.5 Chakravarthy rips one in, dinks middle and off. Safe to say Phillips didn't read the 92ks googly. Reverse cross-seamer on a length landed just outside off and Phillips was in the crease shaping for the cut, went through with it feebly. Knew he had no time to adjust, ball snuck below bat and hit the stumps hard. 165/5

    48.6 Santner has been run out trying to pinch a second. Back of a length outside off, he pulls straight to Kohli at deep midwiket, who fires in a throw on the bounce. Rahul collects and whips off the bails in a flash. The aim was to keep Bracewell on strike for the final over. 239/7

    26.1 The Squeeze. IS. ON! In fact, NZ have squeezed water out of stone. Rohit dances down and gets stumped! Huge moment, he waslks back with his head down for most of the way back. Applause from the crowd but NZ are well in the game now. First ball of the over, Rohit looked to manufacture a boundary. Was a shortish ball outside off that spun away, was a pre-meditated shot from Rohit. He charged down and tried to slap it over cover 122/3
    18.4 Has anyone seen Superman and Phillips in the same room? I doubt it. He has just caught another blinder. And this one really is an absolute blinder. Floated outside off, he looks to go up and over GP at short extra cover. That was a boundary if anyone else was there. Not when GP is there. He leaps, flicks out his right hand and hangs on to a stunner. Flashes a big smile right after. 105/1
    19.1 He's rapped on the pad first ball and the umpire is given it out. Oh, wow, that's a big decision. Will Kohli review? He has to, almost and he does. Tossed up outside off turning back into Kohli who misses the flick and is caught in front. That looks plumb on first viewing. What does the tracker say? Struck in line - yes. Going onto hit the stumps - Oh, yes! Bracewell is pumped up and NZ suddenly have an opening 106/2
    38.4 In the air and taken by Ravindra sprinting to his left from short fine leg. That is a lovely catch by him diving low. Stifle short on middle stump, he gets across looking to pull this fine, gets it off the splice. Rachin moves beautifully to his left and grabs this inches off the turf 183/4
    41.3 Axar falls and Bracewell has another one. That's not Axar's best moment, I must add. Floated on off stump, he takes a couple of steps down the track and looks to go over long-off. Completely mis-hits this and O'Rourke takes a safe catch. 203/5

    47.3 Straight up and taken by Jamieson. Is it not over yet? Sharp bouncer shoulder-high on off. Pandya is rushed into the pull and can only manage a top-edge that goes straight up and is held by Jamieson with ease 241/6
