Jun 20, 2021, 22:15:51 IST

Outfield still slippery

Bumrah slips while trying to stop a boundary. The outfield is a little wet and slippery

Ashwin strikes

OUT! India have their first wicket and it's not a Bumrah, Shami or Ishant. It's the off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Nicely flighted delivery, Latham was looking a bit itchy, he went for the drive without getting to pitch of the ball and scooped it to the cover, where India captain Virat Kohli took a sharp catch.

Jun 20, 2021, 21:45:30 IST

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.

Jun 20, 2021, 21:39:16 IST

Conway flashes

FOUR! Once again the fielders were interested. But this time Conway played in the air intentionally. Ashwin won't mind this, he tossed it up nicely and the left-hander is prepared to take him on.

Jun 20, 2021, 21:36:16 IST

Latham being impatient

FOUR! But the Indian fielders have their hands on their heads. And rightly so, it was uppish and could have landed in the hands of the slip cordon on another day but it wasn't to be.

Jun 20, 2021, 21:31:36 IST

New Zealand 60/0
