    7.1 Got him with a peach! Mann's struggle with the bat finally comes to an end. Bowls a good length ball with a hint of shape in on the stumps, plays off the front foot and gets beaten by the seam movement, and hits the top of the back pad. It seems like going over the stumps due to the height, but the umpire is convinced and raises his finger straightaway. Wait a minute, it seems like he has inside-edged it! A brilliant catch by Kundu behind the stumps. 17/3
    2.2 Edged and gone! Hard length ball on the fifth stump line, too close to play his favorite square cut stroke, extra bounce off the pitch and the ball kisses the outside edge for a regulation catch to Kundu behind the stumps. 5/1
    4.5 Massive wicket! Half-volley ball held on the pitch for some time, plays through the line of the ball off the front foot, chips it towards the mid-off fielder for a sitter. Mhatre tracked back at first as he misjudged the trajectory of the ball, then he adjusted himself and dove forward to gobble it up. 9/2
    9.3 Bowls a peach, and the wicketkeeper is celebrating! Generously flighted good length ball pitching on the stumps and turning away sharply, leans forward to defend off the front foot, steps outside the crease during the follow-through, and is beaten by the sharp turn. Kundu does the rest behind the stumps. Top-notch stuff from India! 22/5
    8.6 Bowled him with a crackerjack! Bowls a pinpoint accurate yorker ball right on the money, moves forward to negate the ball, angles in and sneaks through the defense, and uproots the leg stump. There was nothing Alpe could do with that delivery. Absolute seed! 22/4
    24.2 Tries to reverse sweep and gets caught behind, has used the sweep to good effect until this moment. This time the ball shoots up alarmingly and he ends up gloving it back to the keeper Kundu, who takes a juggling catch 69/7
    19.5 Bowls it full and outside off, plants is front leg and tries to go big downtown, finds the same fielder Khilan to perfection on this occasion, not much oomph behind the shot on this occasion, just merrily picks it through the line and hands a simple catch to the fielder, New Zealand in deep deep trouble, this wasn't required, still a lot of overs left and they needed a big partnership. India are elated though, spinners have really done a fantastic job, lots of variety in this dynamic spin attack, have stemmed the run-flow and just when New Zealand tried to get a move on, they lost another wicket in the process. The goal should be to play all overs. Was a fuller delivery and he dragged it form outside off. Sandhu unable to make use of the reprieve 59/6

    33.5 Tries to clear the ropes and miscues the skier, tugged away to deep midwicket, got a gentle leg-cutter on a length and his eyes lit up when he spotted a slower one, got decent chunk of wood on it and just clobbered it straight to Vihaan, good contribution in the context 122/8
    34.6 Sashayed across his stumps to flick it away and Patel darts in a pinpoint accurate yorker that was right at the base of the stumps, think it reversed as well, excellent delivery at the death, potent option in your armory, smart bowling 127/9
    36.2 An adroit and dextrous pacer, stumps shattered what a sight, sends the off-stump cartwheeling. Shorter off-cutter and he tried to slam a pull, through the gate 135/10

    1.4 Bowled'em and Clarke has the last laugh! What a fitting reply! Hard length ball on the off stump channel, held on the pitch and slight deviation away. George plays with the straight bat inside the line, tries to dab it and misses the ball completely, clips the top of the off stump and disturbs the furniture! 11/1
    8.1 Clarke grabs a stunner! Sandhu bowls a short pitched delivery outside off, Sooryavanshi goes for the puil shot and skies it high over mid-off. Clarke had to sprint back several yards, tracking the flight of the ball perfectly. He dove while running and managed to hold on to the catch; brilliant stuff! 87/2
    9.5 "Catch it!" is the cry, and it is taken! Bowls a slower through the air ball on a fuller length, turns in on the stumps and Mhatre plays the slog sweep again, connects the top-edge and miscues towards deep backward square leg. The sweeper fielder runs in a few yards and gobbles it up. 101/3
