    29.2 Guptill run-out!. Ooooh, there is never a single there, but Taylor has his mind set on it having played a reverse sweep off the back of the bat. There is no real hesitation in the running, just that Thakur is very alert there and flings in a flat throw right over the top of the stumps. So basically, the fielder does everything right and gets a wicket, the batsmen do one thing wrong and they lose a wicket 157/3
    16.5 With the DRS clock pretty much on zero, Nicholls makes the call to review an lbw decision! Phew! Anyway, here are the deets. Chahal dishes out a fairly quick and very flat legbreak. The batsman goes for a sweep but it's too straight for a shot like that and he misses completely. Umpire Oxenford thought it was adjacent enough and ball-tracker juuuuuuust about agrees with him. Clipping the very top of the outside edge of the leg stump. That is sooo toit! 93/1
    26.3 taken at mid-on! An innings full of promise, undone by poor shot selection. He had pressure on the bowler. He was trying to put more on him by taking a length ball outside off and slogging it away. Only, he mis-hits it to the man inside the circle. Thakur gives the batsman a tiiiiiny bit of a send-off. 142/2

    33.1 gives him lbw but Latham reviews. Jadeja is around the wicket to the left-hander, hitting a good length and pinning Latham on off stump. But with this angle, it might well have missed off stump. Unless it turns enough. Latham is playing the sweep - it's his go-to shot, only this time he doesn't connect and now has to wait for a few and poof he has to walk off. Ball-tracking says that ball did indeed turn enough to crash into off stump 171/4
    34.2 Jadeja (who else?) nails the stumps. Neesham has been caught well short by a rocket direct-hit. Just short of a good length and around off, Taylor dinks it away behind point and takes off for a run. Jadeja swoops down to his natural side - left - gathers the ball with just one hand and demolishes the stumps like only he can. Another run-out has set NZ back and Jadeja makes it look ridiculously easy 175/5
    36.6 De Grandhomme holes out, leaving NZ six down. Another case of bad shot selection or rather bad execution. Hip-high short ball, angling into off stump, de Grandhomme aims to pick it up and whip it over deep square leg. Instead, he splices it to Iyer there 185/6
    37.4 Chapman offers up a simple return catch. He missed out earlier in the afternoon, but hangs onto this one. On a length, starts outside off and breaks back in, holds up in the pitch. Chapman is early into a back-foot drive and ends up spooning it back to Chahal. NZ collapse around Taylor 187/7
    41.3 taken at long-on. Chahal dangles it up outside off and gets it to break away further. Southee can't show enough restraint. He has a crack at it and ends up awkwardly dragging the ball straight into the lap of Saini 197/8

    4.6 Jamieson storms through the defences of Shaw. Lands it on the seam and bowls the opener through the gate. What a way to get your first wicket - at your home ground. Good length, Jamieson brings this one back sharply and makes Shaw's attempted drive look a whole lot worse. Timbaaah and NZ are into India's middle order already. Shaw: six fours and out 34/2
    2.3 nicked off to slip. Taylor in the thick of the action once again. In-between length from Bennett - he is in the side to hit that length. Angling in from over the wicket and straightens away outside off. Agarwal is caught on the crease. He is opened up, edging it to Taylor 21/1
    9.4 now, it's Southee's turn to breach the defences of Kohli. Southee goes wide of the crease and brings this full ball back into Kohli after having tested the captain with a surfeit of awayswingers. The batsman is opened up and falls over the flick. Hits the middle and leg stumps. Just like that NZ's 273 for 8 looks a whole lot bigger now 57/3
    27.3 caught behind! Iyer's gone! Are India gone as well? It's strange to see Iyer play such a manufactured shot. He's clearing his front leg looking to cut a ball right off the top of middle stump. And as good as he is on the cut shot, this is just not on. It's not short enough. He doesn't have the room. Ends up getting a healthy nick through to the keeper 129/6
    13.2 wrong ball to cut! There is zero room available. It's not even that short. But Rahul really is in such glorious form and sometimes players in that zone manufacture shots. Here he takes it a touch too far, getting only an inside edge back onto the stumps 71/4
    20.5 pops it to cover! The move to bring back Southee works! The pressure NZ have been putting shows. And Jadhav, having looked capable enough to block the good ones and hit the bad ones, goes after the wrong ball - not quite a half-volley to be playing such booming drives - and presents a simple catch. Cross eamer from Southee, which explains the ball hitting higher up on the bat 96/5
    48.3 taken at long-off! Deja vu for Jadeja and India. De Grandhomme holds his nerve and pouches it at the edge of the long-off fence. Low full-toss outside off, Jadeja launches it into the lap of de Grandhomme. NZ win the series 2-0 251/10
    31.1 ...and de Grandhomme nips one through the gate of Thakur. Knocks back the off stump. Good length, swerves back in from outside off, Thakur drives from the crease, and is beaten on the inside edge. NZ three away from wrapping up the series 153/7

    44.3 fine comeback after being struck for six. Hits the top of leg stump and roars on debut. Back of a length and slanting in from over the wicket, Saini has another swing at this. His fun is over, this by the way is Saini's best score across formats. Jadeja goes down on his haunches 229/8
    47.5 wide yorker, squeezed to extra-cover's right. Chahal is nearly halfway down the track, searching for the second. Neesham fumbles, then gathers the ball and throws it flat to Latham, who flips the bails off by the time Chahal undoes his steps. Another run-out in the game 251/9
