India pool around a sign that says "Champions", with their series trophy, with plenty of people in Indore still sticking around to watch them enjoy themselves. They have been outstanding, packed the stadium on all five days of the Test. And this is why - The Test championship mace is being presented to Virat Kohli by Sunil Gavaskar

1.6

Pandya to Guptill, OUT, there's the wicket that has been brought about by uncertainty outside off. Guptill is squared up as he jabs at the length delivery that flies to Rohit at second slip. There was a juggle, but he managed to hold on. Excellent comeback from Pandya

MJ Guptill c Sharma b Pandya 12 (11b 3x4 0x6) SR: 109.09

FOW 14/1

4.6

Yadav to Williamson, OUT, it doesn't come much simpler than that at third man. Width on offer, Williamson slashed and the edge flew straight down Mishra's throat. He didn't have to move an inch.

KS Williamson c Mishra b Yadav 3 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 33.33

FOW 29/2

[Kool_SRG]

6.1

Yadav to Taylor, OUT, got 'im first ball. What a jaffa from Umesh Yadav. On a good length outside off, the ball moves away just enough, like it has been doing all afternoon. Taylor sees the length, thinks he can lay bat on ball but the out swing takes the edge of his prodding bat. Not much can be done about that to be fair. India's seamers on point so far, extracting just enough away movement

LRPL Taylor c †Dhoni b Yadav 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

FOW 33/3

[Kool_SRG]

10.4

Pandya to Anderson, OUT, superb catch from Umesh! A tad too exuberant from Anderson. Full and wide outside off, was there to be hit but Anderson couldn't quite get under that. Hammers his drive straight to Umesh at mid-off, who dives to his right and somehow clings on to his reverse-cupped catch at head height. Wrong shot selection. Latham has been timing those cover drives all day. Anderson looked to muscle it.

CJ Anderson c Yadav b Pandya 4 (14b 1x4 0x6) SR: 28.57

FOW 43/4

12.1

Pandya to Ronchi, OUT, this is catching practice to say the least. Ronchi checked his shot and ended up flicking it straight to Umesh at mid-on. This was much simpler and came straight back at him at a friendly pace. Ronchi's bat face turned slightly, perhaps done in for pace again. What a debut Hardik Pandya is having

L Ronchi c Yadav b Pandya 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

FOW 48/5

[Kool_SRG]

18.3

Jadhav to Neesham, OUT, he was denied a wicket in the last over, but it doesn't cost India much. This one holds onto the surface just a touch and Neesham chips the simplest of return catches to the bowler. First ODI wicket for Jadhav

JDS Neesham c & b Jadhav 10 (25b 1x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

FOW 65/6

[Kool_SRG]

18.4

Jadhav to Santner, OUT, two in two! Unbelievable, isn't it? This one skids straight on, Santner shapes to cut but it was too close for him to play it and only managed a faint tickle through to Dhoni. Kedar on a hat-trick and he can't believe his luck.

MJ Santner c †Dhoni b Jadhav 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

FOW 65/7

[Kool_SRG]

31.5

Mishra to Bracewell, OUT, and that should be out! Certainly looked like it lobbed to midwicket. The question is whether it was a bump ball.Tosses up on middle and leg, Bracewell comes to the pitch, gets there but is undone by the length. Ends up chipping a simple catch to Rahane at midwicket, who was certain it wasn't a bump ball. Does not lob up to a fielder if it is hit into the ground. NZ slump further

DAJ Bracewell c Rahane b Mishra 15 (46b 0x4 0x6) SR: 32.60

FOW 106/8
