Ashwin strikes
OUT! India have their first wicket and it's not a Bumrah, Shami or Ishant. It's the off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.

Drinks break, NZ 70/0
Another over from Mohammed Shami in which put in all his heart and soul but perhaps little planning. He is still bowling those hard lengths, which may look pretty but have less chance of getting the batsman out on a wicket like this.
