WTC Final India vs New Zealand Highlight: Resuming on 101/2, the Kiwis played out the first hour of the day safely before Ishant and Shami got into the act to have NZ 135/5 at the lunch interval.

KOHLI HIT ON THE HELMET

OUCH! You never see Kohli hit flush on the helmet by he is unable to negotiate this bouncer from Southee. The ball flies over the slip cordon for 4 leg-byes.

Kohli responds by flicking the ball through deep mid-wicket for three.

Virat Kohli walks in

Skipper Virat Kohli is the new man in. India are 51/2.

SECOND INDIA OPENER GONE

OUT! Southee strikes again as Rohit Sharma is trapped LBW. The ball pitches outside off, swings back in. Sharma had offered no shot and the replay shows that ball would have clipped the stumps. Sharma didn't even review it.

WTC Final Day 5 Live Score

Southee reintroduced into the attack. Very dark clouds loom over the Rose Bowl as play continues under lights.

Jun 22, 2021, 23:10:14 IST

FIFTY UP FOR INDIA

FOUR! Pujara dealing in boundaries as fifty comes up for India. Wagner strays down the leg, Pujara flicks off his pads and big man Jamieson, at fine leg, is unable to get down on time to save the ball.

Jun 22, 2021, 23:06:45 IST

Few words?

What's the chatter about? Jamieson and Rohit Sharma seem to be exchanging a few words and they don't sound too nice. I could be wrong. In case I am, please don't hold it against me. India are 47/1 after 25 overs.

India vs New Zealand, WTC Final

Rohit closing in on the 30s. He is batting on 27 at the moment. In the previous over, he had a scare when he pushed hard at a Jamieson delivery, which was his undoing in the first innings. India are 45/1 after 24 overs.

Jun 22, 2021, 22:53:15 IST

FLOOD LIGHTS AND WAGNER ON

Well, a couple of changes at the Rose Bowl. Flood lights are switched on and Williamson brings on Neil Wagner, hoping to find another wicket or two before the close of play. India are 41/1 after 21 overs.

ICYMI: Southee's wicket of Gill

Pujara's first boundary of the innings

FOUR! Oh, hello! Out of nowhere. Overpitched around middle stump from Boult and Puajara present the full face of the bat to hit the ball towards the long-on boundary for four. After 20 overs, India are 39/1

Jun 22, 2021, 22:37:33 IST

Agree with DK?

Dinesh Karthik, at the start of India's innings, had said that they need to treat the remainder of this game like a four-session match. Bat well for two and bowl well for 2. Practically possible? We'll find out. Meanwhile, Jamieson continue as Southee, from the looks of it, heads into the dressing room.

WTC Final

About an hour to go and highly unlikely that the remaining 22 overs will fit in. How long will India bat for? How many runs are enough?

Jun 22, 2021, 22:33:31 IST

New Zealand continue to pile pressure

Just two off the over as Sharma's leading edge allows him to run two.

Jun 22, 2021, 22:28:47 IST

India take 2nd innings lead

SECOND INNINGS LEAD! Rohit Sharma pulls to take a single and take India into the lead. India are 33/1 after 16 overs.

India vs New Zealand Live

Trent Boult resumes the proceedings after the drinks break. Sharma on strike.

Jun 22, 2021, 22:21:10 IST

SCORES LEVEL. PLAYERS TAKE DRINKS

India are 32/1 after 15 overs. Players will now take drinks. Sharma unbeaten on 19. Scores are level.

Jun 22, 2021, 22:16:41 IST

Risky Rohit

UP BUT SAFE! Sharma, who loves to hook, is rushed into the shot by Boult but the ball, after hitting the top edge, falls well short of fine leg.

Three! Pujara flicks the ball off his pads through mid-wicket for three.

After 14 overs, India are 32/1

Jun 22, 2021, 22:14:24 IST

How many will India get?

About 45 minutes to go in this day's play. How many more will India get in this last phase of play?

Jun 22, 2021, 22:07:14 IST

MILESTONE MAN SOUTHEE

MAIDEN! A tight over from Jamieson.

Trivia: That was Southee's 600th international wicket across formats. He is the second Kiwi player to do so, after Daniel Vettori.

Jun 22, 2021, 22:03:55 IST

India vs New Zealand, WTC Final: Pujara off the mark straight away

It took him 36 balls to get off the mark in the first innings, but just the one ball here in the second. Clips the ball to square leg. India 27/1, trail New Zealand by five runs

Jun 22, 2021, 22:01:42 IST

OUT! Gill out LBW

Gone! That is plumb. Plenty of swing from Southee and with Gill playing across the line and missing it altogether, it was stone dead. Walks over to his partner at the other end to ask if he should review it and we assume Rohit was straightforward in telling him that those were three reds. India 24/1, trail by 7 runs.

Jun 22, 2021, 22:00:02 IST

Southee to Gill: Shot

Once again, nice timing from Shubman Gill but the ball goes straight to mid-on. Just not finding the right gaps the India youngster.

Jun 22, 2021, 21:52:25 IST

Gill growing in confidence

After a watchful start, Shubman Gill is showing signs of confidence. He's just played a couple of crisp shots which although did not get him boundaries, did indicate that the ball is hitting the middle of his bat. New Zealand sense what is happening and waste no time to introduce Kyle Jamieson into the attack, who in the first innings rocked India. He starts by over-stepping.
