Shami was the star of the show as he picked up 4 wickets. Bumrah chipped in with 3 and Jadeja too sent back 2 Kiwi batsmen. He headlined the session after lunch with a stunning catch to get rid of Neil Wagner.

“I was expecting him (Wagner) to score towards deep square leg. But I didn’t expect the ball to come at that pace. It came so quickly with the wind and I just stuck my hand out. I didn’t even realise when I took the catch. We bowled well as a unit. We will look to bat well and bowl them out again,” Jadeja told the host broadcasters immediately after the innings.

India dismissed New Zealand for 235 and in the process, earned a slender lead of 7 runs. The pitch has quickened up considerably and the task will be cut out for the Indian batting order in the second innings.
