Jamieson to Mayank, out Caught by Blundell!! Jamieson finally draws first blood! And deservingly so! Kept probing around that off-stump channel, getting the ball to move both ways and finally has Mayank nicking 13
IND 58/1

Somerville to Shubman Gill, 1 run, this time he flicks wide of the fielder to the deep and that's his fourth Test fifty. The crowd, captain, team-mates applaud. Gentle raise of the bat from Gill

Jamieson to Rahane, FOUR, shot of the day so far! Width on offer, but the length isn't that full and Rahane's big front foot stride allows him to get to the line, stroking this delicately through the covers. No force, just pure timing as this races away to the fence in no time
india 132-3

Jamieson to Rahane, out Bowled!! Jamieson has the last laugh! He's been the standout all day so far and he gets his third of the innings. Was a short of a length ball with a hint of width but the lack of bounce does Rahane in here
india 150-4

Pitch report:
"We saw that the bowlers were unlucky earlier as there was a bit of swing but not a lot of bounce. We saw a great day. Today, there might be more of the variable bounce

NZ review for LBW. Height could be a factor although it wasn't that high. No bat clearly, UltraEdge shows a flat line. Over to ball tracking. It's umpire's call on hitting and that means that Jadeja survives by a whisker. Review retained.

Jamieson to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR, beautiful shot! Loosener from Jamieson to begin with, fed on the pads and Iyer flicks it away nonchalantly through mid-wicket. The ideal delivery to face first up on a new day
india 262-4

Century on Test debut for Shreyas Iyer! He's deserved every bit of this, it's been a calm and composed knock in what was a crisis situation when he walked in. Takes off his helmet and soaks in all the cheers of the crowd. Kisses the Indian badge. Reaches the milestone with a gentle dab behind point. Enough time to hustle for a brace by the time sweeper cover mops up
Shreyas Iyer debut century:
- 16th Indian player on debut
- 3rd Indian on debut vs NZ

Ashwin to Will Young, out Caught by (sub)Srikar Bharat!! Top keeping from Bharat. This ball kept low and he did well to pouch it. Faint edge. Ashwin wins the battle with Will Young. Was brilliant to watch to duo take on each other.

127.4
Axar to Southee, out Bowled!! Cleaned him up all ends! Savage riposte from Axar, goes wide of the crease with a flattish in-angler that just straightens ever so slightly off the deck. Too good a nut for any batter, let alone a lower order man like Southee. He tries to push at it but is beaten on the outside edge, and hears the rattle behind him.
Southee b Axar 5(13) [4s-1]
Fifth fifer for Axar in only his fourth Test match.

Ashwin to Jamieson, out Caught by Axar!! Miscued slog from Jamieson, and he holes out! The ball was slower through the air at 85kph, and that was enough invitation for him to free his arms. He swings hard, looking to go with the turn.

India on top....but the Kiwis are fighters ably led and motivated by Williamson....who also can lead front front with bat
The openers did well in the first innings
But yes...tonight (4th day) will be intriguing.

11.1
Jamieson to Pujara, out Caught by Blundell!! Short ball down leg, Pujara raises his arms to let it go. There's an appeal for caught-behind and Blundell is pretty confident. He nods to Williamson when asked for the review. Oh he's right. This has come off the glove.

Ajaz Patel to Rahane, out Lbw!! That should be plumb. The umpire is quick to raise the finger, and Rahane doesn't bother challenging. It slid through off a length, past the inside edge and onto the front pad in front of middle and off.

That backfoot shot from Sommerville is a gem...a thing of beauty, sheer class. Notice that the backfoot was covering the off-stump so he wasn't reaching for the ball. It was there to be hit.
