    12.2 Rohit looks to break free and falls in the process. He charged at a cross-seam length ball, got it off a fullish length. He looked to hold his shape and launch it over cover. Bat face opened up and he hit the 128ks ball straight to sweeper cover. 70/1
    16.5 And he falls! That is a soft, soft dismissal. Short of a length delivery just outside off stump, he is unable to control the pull and mis-hits it straight to midwicket who on the edge of the circle. A tame dismissal and Gill will be livid as he was looking solid. He punches his bat in disgust as he falls for 56 for the second straight time 99/2

    23.3 Chopped back on. Reminiscent of the 2023 World Cup final, says Raghav sitting next to me. Clarke has his third as Kohli loses his middle stump. Was a harmless 128.4 kph back of a length ball outside off angling back into him. Kohli looks to guide that fine, gets a thick inside-edge and sees his stumps in a mess. 118/4
    21.3 Straight to mid-off and just like that, Iyer falls. The pressure of the dot balls gets to him and New Zealand have now picked three in quick time. Nonchalant length ball outside off stump, Iyer looks to break the shackles by going up and over. Ends up completely mistiming it, with Bracewell at mid-off doing the rest. Think the ball also stopped on the surface a touch 115/3

    38.1 Bracewell takes a low catch to the left and stays down. Wasn't sure if it was taken for a second but it's clean. Rahul was hopping back in the crease, there was enough space for Bracewell to dive and grab it low with both hands. Was a length ball on leg that got stuck in the pitch, Jadeja wanted to flick it off the back foot to the leg side and got it off the outer-half of the bat 191/5
    46.2 Reddy falls in search of quick runs as Phillips hangs on. Slower offcutter dug into the surface outside off, Reddy looks to clear deep midwicket, but can't get enough power behind the shot. GP on the boundary edge eats that up 248/6
    47.2 Maiden wicket in international cricket for Lennox as Rana falls. Tossed up on off and middle, he looks to clear the fence but doesn't get anywhere in the middle. Bracewell takes a comfortable catch at long-off 256/7
