India vs New Zealand highlights, WTC Final: Williamson, Taylor lead NZ to World Test Championship title

FOUR! Fifty partnership between Williamson and Ross Taylor, perhaps one of the most crucial 50 runs of their careers. Jadeja fires it on Williamson's pads, he gets bat on to it and the ball races away to the fine leg boundary.

Where did that came from? That took off from nowhere. That ball just climbed from a good length and hit Ross Taylor straight on the helmet. Bumrah just has a polite inquiry about Taylor's well being. The physio come in for a routine check up, doesn't look anything serious.

FOUR! Bring out the cameras, tell the youngsters to watch this in a loop. That is majestic from Williamson. Pitched up from Bumrah, Williamson drives it on the up with his high elbow and makes perfect connection. NZ need only 50 to win now.

Edged and taken... NO! It's dropped by Pujara at first slip. It was a sitter. Bumrah has his hands on his head. The rest of the fielders are shell shocked. Bumrah drew Taylor into a defensive push, got the outside edge only for Pujara to drop the catch. Is that it for India?

FOUR! It's all too easy for New Zealand all of a sudden. Jadeja just drags it down and Williamson is quick to jump on the backfoot and cut it with disdain. It looks like one way traffic at the moment.

Rishabh Pant has just left the field and we hear Ian Bishop saying in the commentary that he is feeling unwell. Sso Wriddhiman Saha is on as the substitute keeper.

First sign of Ravindra Jadeja in the second innings and perhaps Virat Kohli's last throw of the dice to prize out a wicket in this WTC final.

FOUR! Poor from Ishant. It was short, it was wide and it sat up for Taylor to cut it through cover point for an easy boundary. India have been loose since the drinks and Williamson and Taylor have taken full advantage of it.

FOUR, Williamson finally manages to find the gap. He hit it straight to the fielder twice or thrice in this over but this time he makes good contact and more importantly finds the gap. No stopping that one. NZ 64/2

Two boundaries in the over and both from Ross Taylor's bat. After the drinks break, Taylor has hit three fours in 10 deliveries. Was there a message from the dressing room?

FOUR! First runs in 25 balls and it's a boundary from Taylor's bat. Short and wide from Shami, Taylor does well to just open the face of his bat to cut it past gully. Fifty up for New Zealand.

Hat-trick of maidens. Two-in-row from Ashwin, one from Shami in between. This is superb stuff from India. They are putting immense pressure on New Zealand's two most experienced batsmen - Williamson and Taylor. The umpires signal for a drinks break.

NZ have scored only 46 runs in 21 overs that they have played. Great display of bowling by the Indian bowlers.

NZ are inching towards the fifty mark with Williamson and Taylor on the crease. They would hope that their most capped players can take them to victory in this match.

Ashwin has picked up another wicket. He has sent Conway back to the pavilion. NZ 44/2

Shami's ball is swinging late and could prove to be dangerous. He has been the most effective bowler for India in Southampton.

DRS showed that the ball was missing the stumps. Reprieve for Williamson.

Ashwin has picked up the wicket of Kane Williamson. The NZ captain was trying to sweep Ashwin but it struck the front left of the batsman. DRS has been taken.

India have their first wicket of the day. Ashwin has sent back Latham again. He tossed it up in the air and Latham stepped down the pitch. He missed the line and Pant did the rest. NZ 33/1

India need wickets to get into the Test match and that what New Zealand are doing best to hold on to. They have reached 33 runs without the loss of any wicket.

Virat Kohli has introduced Ashwin into the attack. He was the one to break the opening partnership in the first innings, can he do it again?

NZ openers Tom Latham and Devon Conway begin last session of the match. Will they crush India's hopes or will India make a comeback?

New Zealand are batting at 19 runs for the loss of no wickets when they head for Tea. They need another 120 runs to win.

47 overs are left and NZ need 125 runs with 10 wickets in hand. Any prizes for guessing who might be the favourite to win?

Tom Latham has got off the mark with a double of Ishant Sharma.

Three overs and only one run has been scored. Sign of things to come?

This time Shami will bowl with the new ball instead of Jasprit Bumrah in the second innings.

Indian bowlers will have a tough job at hand as they defend a target of just 139 runs. Ishant Sharma is bowling the first over.

NZ bowlers have bowled India out for just 170 runs. Southee gets the wicket of Bumrah at the end. NZ get a target of 139 runs to win the first-ever WTC.

Indian tail lenders haven't been able to contribute much to India's cause recently. It has put India in trouble but can they change their approach in this game. It would be difficult to the quality of the opposition bowling attack.

Mohammed Shami has contributed some useful runs for India. Any runs are bonus for them at this stage.

India are in big trouble now as eighth wicket has fallen with score reading 156/8. Ashwin edged one to the slips. India lead only by 124 runs.

Pant tried to heave Boult for a big one but edged it high up in the air. Nicholls had to run back some distance to take the catch. Big jolt for India.

Williamson has introduced Tim Southee into the attack instead of Wagner.

Ashwin and Pant are not going to hold back when it comes to their batting. NZ are bowling short and they are taking it on.

NZ have a strategy against Ashwin. They are bowling short to him with a leg-side field but Ashwin is not the one to back off. He is taking him on but it feels like a big trap set up by NZ.

Wagner has got the better of Jadeja. He bowled a delivery outside off and Jadeja fished for it and edged it to Watling. India 142/6

First ball that Wagner bowled, Pant was ready with a reverse-sweep. He took a single. Entertaining stuff from Pant.

Jadeja was expecting a out-swinging delivery but Jamieson surprised him with an inswinging ball. Jadeja was completely flummoxed.

Pant and Jadeja have taken India's lead past 100. Next 100 runs will be crucial.
