*****INDIA Vs NEW ZEALAND CRICKET SERIES 2016 - NZ TOUR OF INDIA*****

[Kool_SRG]

Jadeja has now received a second warning, this time from Bruce Oxenford. Penalty of five runs, which will be added to New Zealand's tally He ran straight down the middle of the pitch. Excellent call from the umpire. Got that spot on. Jadeja doesn't look happy, but the umpire was spot on with the call

LOL Jadeja baaga ayindi...

Henry to Sharma, SIX, full toss and he's swung that over the ropes at long-on. Third half-century of the series for Rohit and he's pleased as punch. Clean swing to get the power and timing.

34.2

Ashwin to Latham, OUT, teasing little offbreak. Worse, it had masqueraded as a half-volley on the pads. Poor Latham thought he had a single for the taking, bringing his bat across his front pad and playing with a closed face. But the ball - a lot slower in pace, that was the key to the wicket - lobs up off the leading edge and Ashwin takes an absolute dolly of a catch

TWM Latham c & b Ashwin 53 (104b 7x4 0x6) SR: 50.96

42.6

Ashwin to Williamson, OUT, dragged on! He's played Ashwin's good-length balls off the back foot, not entirely a terrible ploy, but the problem arose when he went for the cut. A straight bat could have saved him, but the horizontal one simply made him feel more cramped and it presents the ball with the perfect opportunity to take the inside edge and trickle onto the stumps. Rare mistake from Williamson.

KS Williamson b Ashwin 8 (25b 1x4 0x6) SR: 32.00

44.5

Ashwin to Taylor, OUT, it's the straight one! Oh, wait. It turned just a tiny bit. Taylor was just playing too far inside the line. And he has this technique as well where he doesn't push too far forward and the bat comes down at an angle from gully. Ashwin, by pulling his length back, gets the outside edge and Rahane mops things up

LRPL Taylor c Rahane b Ashwin 0 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

46.6

Ashwin to Ronchi, OUT, has Guptill been run out at the non-strikers' end? He has! What an awful way to go. He was backing up, and having seen his partner drill a superb straight drive, he probably had the right to. But Ashwin reaches to his right, gets just enough of a deflection - only the tip of his ring finger met the ball - that made sure the ball didn't go to the boundary and instead hit the stumps

MJ Guptill run out 72 (144b 10x4 2x6) SR: 50.00

48.1

Ashwin to Ronchi, OUT, off the thigh of the keeper to the first slip. Superb work from Rahane, diving to his right. Outstanding reflexes. The delivery wasn't too bad either. Drifted away from Ronchi, who had come forward expecting top block a good length ball and suddenly finding that he was playing inside the line. Fine edge, hitchhikes its way to India's vice-captain

L Ronchi c Rahane b Ashwin 0 (6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

62.6

Jadeja to Watling, OUT, is there an argument that Watling was set up? He was made to lunge forward to a few slow, loopy deliveries. Now Jadeja gets one to land on a good length and the batsman, having cultivated a habit of pushing at the ball, does so again. This time he is nowhere near the pitch, feathers an edge. Rahane has to move to his left, does so quickly enough to get both hands to the ball and then controls it with a bit of a juggle. Brilliant that he wasn't distracted by Saha trying his best to grab at the ball; he was well within his right to, of course as the keeper.

BJ Watling c Rahane b Jadeja 23 (48b 4x4 0x6) SR: 47.91

78.6

Jadeja to Santner, OUT, how about that for a catch? The batsman was shaping for a cover drive, and for a leg slip to be alert enough to pick that up is simply super. Jadeja looped the ball up, and a littler wider to tempt Santner, the ball takes the inside edge, sneaks through the gate and ends up in Kohli's hands

MJ Santner c Kohli b Jadeja 22 (52b 4x4 0x6) SR: 42.30

86.2

Ashwin to Neesham, OUT, hasn't it straightened too much? Umpire Dharmasena thinks not and raises the finger and Ashwin has his 20th five-wicket haul. He wrapped it up with a well flighted delivery that Neesham played all around with a sweep. Struck on the back thigh, but that back thigh was probably outside the line of off stump. Neesham went back to the dressing room, waited by the monitor to see the replay and then strode off disgusted

JDS Neesham lbw b Ashwin 71 (115b 11x4 0x6) SR: 61.73
