    GT vs MI, Live Score: Here’s what Hardik Pandya said at the toss

    “It (pitch) looks good, looks watery. It has been a belter though. The way we fought back, the last game we won but LSG dominated for 36 overs. Credit to the boys the way we came back. We showed what is never give up. Luck was on our side. We are playing the same team. Josh Little comes back for someone, that’s it.”

  • 19:07 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Here’s what Rohit Sharma said at the toss

    “We are gonna bowl first. We saw the pitch, it was hard. They put a lot of water there. Want to make best use of the conditions. Start well early on and see where the game is heading. Games like that happen, we made some errors and we accepted that. It’s important how you come back from that situation, that’s critical. We had a good chat and hopefully we can turn things around. We’ve got 2 changes – Hrithik Shokeen misses out from the last game. Kumar Kartikeya is going to play. Jofra is not well. Riley is back.”

  • 19:01 (IST)

  • 18:42 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Pitch report

    “The highest number of sixes on an average has been hit at this venue along with Eden Gardens. This isn’t the smallest of venues either. Square boundaries – 63 metres and 68 metres, straight down the ground it’s 74 metres. It’s unusually humid here. On the wicket, it’s moist, not tacky in any way but certainly got some moisture in it. Don’t be surprised if the fastmen do come into play in the powerplay. Even though it’s red soil, I think it’ll bounce traditionally but it’ll just grip a little bit because of the extra moisture in it. The batters through the middle will be finding it very difficult this evening. Dew hasn’t had a massive effect so far. It’s overcast, chances are it (dew) might not have tonight either. Six out of six games – chasing teams have won.”

    Here’s what we think could be Mumbai Indians Playing XI against Gujarat Titans. Read here. 

  • 17:47 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Great support from David Miller

    GT might need to give their top overseas batter David Miller more time in the middle by promoting him up the order.

  • 17:43 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Fiery batting order of GT

    While Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill have scored runs at the top and Hardik top-scored in their last match, GT were about 10-15 runs short against LSG, mainly due to their slow batting in middle overs, something the team will need to address.

  • 17:28 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Strong spin department of Rashid Khan

    Led by Rashid Khan, Gujarat’s spin department looks potent with fellow Afghan wrist spinner Noor Ahmad and Jayant Thakur delivering under pressure against LSG.

  • 17:25 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Mohammed Shami’s quality bowling

    While Mohit has been a revelation, veteran Mohammed Shami too has been among the wickets. However, skipper Hardik Pandya hasn’t really fired with the ball, having picked up only one wicket so far.

  • 17:22 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Mohit Sharma’s impressive outing

    The star of GT bowling was comeback man Mohit Sharma, who walked away with the player of the match award after using his variations to telling effect against the Lucknow side.

  • 17:11 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: GT’s win memorable win over LSG

    Criticised for not being able to defend totals this season, GT showed how to do it with a master class at the death overs to strangle Lucknow Super Giants’ chase in their previous match.

  • 16:52 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Strong batting unit of MI

    While Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have given a good start to the team on most occasions, Suryakumar Yadav’s return to form is a big positive for MI, who have been served well by the overseas duo of Cameron Green and Tim David.

  • 16:51 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Impressive bowling from the spinners

    The experienced Piyush Chawla and his spin bowling colleague Hrithik Shokeen, however, have been on the money as they restricted the flow of runs, with the former snapping two wickets as well.

  • 16:48 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: Below par show from MI pacers

    It was the pace quartet of Arjun Tendulkar, Jason Behrendorff, Cameron Green and Jofra Archer who were put under the pump as all of them conceded more than 40 runs in their quota of overs.

  • 16:33 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: MI’s poor death bowling

    Mumbai were let down by their death over bowling as they conceded 96 runs in the final five overs to allow PBKS post 214 for 8, and they will have to sort out their bowling ahead of the GT clash.

  • 16:29 (IST)

    GT vs MI, Live Score: MI’s loss against PBKS

    After a familiar poor start, MI enjoyed a hat-trick of wins but their impressive run was cut short by Punjab Kings with a 13-run win on Saturday.

IND vs AUS 4th Test Live: Shubman Gill leads India’s reply in Ahmedabad.© AFP




IND vs AUS, 4th Test, Day 3 Live Score Updates​: Shubman Gill’s sublime knock came to an end as he was dismissed by Nathan Lyon in the final session on Day 3 of the fourth Test in Ahmedabad. Gill scored 128 off 235 deliveries before a lapse in concentration allowed Lyon to capitalise. However, Virat Kohli has looked in sublime touch since coming out in the middle. He will look to take India to a strong total before stumps. Gill took 194 deliveries to reach triple figures, before Cheteshwar Pujara was dismissed in the penultimate over before tea. Virat Kohli joined Gill in the middle, and has looked in excellent touch. Earlier, Matthew Kuhnemann had haulted India’s flying start as he dismissed India captain Rohit Sharma on 34 in the morning session on Day 3. On Friday, India made sure that they end Day 2 without losing a wicket after skittling out Australia for 480 in the first innings of the game. India were 36 for 0 at stumps, trailing Australia by 446 runs, with Gill and Rohit batting unbeaten on 18 and 17, respectively. (LIVE SCORECARD)

“It’s Baffling”: Rohit Sharma’s Weird Tactic For Ravichandran Ashwin Angers Ex-Cricketers | Cricket News

Post By Stock , , , , , ,

Ravichandran Ashwin has been one of the consistent performers for India on home conditions in the recent past and his impact on the side became even more evident from the fact that he dislodged James Anderson to become the top-ranked Test bowler in the world. As a result, it came as a major surprise to everyone that skipper Rohit Sharma waited around 15 overs to hand the bowl to his top spinner on Day 2 of the third Test against Australia in Indore. While the spin threat was being provided by Ravindra Jadeja, it was Ashwin who ultimately provided the first breakthrough of the day as he dismissed Peter Handscomb. Ravi Shastri, Mitchell Johnson and Ajit Agarkar were all taken aback by the choice made by Rohit and during their commentary, all of the ex-players made it a point to discuss his decision.

“Don’t think India have been spot-on with their tactics. No Ashwin in the first hour? He is your premier bowler and has bowled only 16 overs so far. I know Axar Patel is playing as a specialist spinner but got to go to Ashwin. It’s baffling,” Agarkar remarked while he was commentating.

Johnson agreed with the assessment and expressed surprise at the decision.

“It’s what he does to the right-handers from around the wicket that can really cause confusion. One might spin, and one might not. We’ve already seen Smith in this series, the one that ran past his bat.”

“At the moment, it seems that the pitch has lost a bit of a bite but certainly there’s a lot in it,” Agarkar continued. “He has been warming up since morning,” Shastri responded to the comment.

India were staring at a rare defeat at home despite Cheteshwar Pujara‘s plucky half-century as veteran Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon flattened the host with his eight-wicket haul on day two of the third Test here Thursday.

India did well to end Australia’s first innings at 197, conceding a 88-run first innings lead after Steve Smith’s side began at 156 for 4 but negotiating quality spin in favourable conditions remained a challenge for them.

The hosts were bowled out for 163 in their second innings, which means that Australia need just 76 runs to cherish a rare Test win in India as India have lost only two Tests at home in the last 10 years.

Australia bring the best out of Pujara (59 off 142) and that was on full display at the Holkar Stadium but he did not get the support that was needed from the other batters as India came up with another underwhelming batting performance on a rank turner.

India were in the game as long as Pujara was there but a sensational catch from Steve Smith at leg-slip towards close of play put the visitors on cusp of a memorable victory.

Lyon ended with remarkable figures of eight for 64 in 23.3 overs. Siraj getting bowled while attempting a wild slog brought stumps on day four with India’s innings lasting 60.3 overs.

Besides being impressive with the ball, the Australians were brilliant in the field, especially with the momentum-changing catches of Pujara and Sheryas Iyer (26 off 27).

The shot selection of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli left a lot to be desired as Lyon bossed over the home team.

After being reduced to 79 for four at tea, Pujara and Iyer’s counter attacking 35-run stand raised hopes of a fighting seconds innings lead but a flying Usman Khawaja took a stunning catch at mid-wicket to send back the latter.

Iyer went for horizontal shots against spinners, especially Kuhnemann, and executed them well until a moment of brilliance from Khawaja got the better of him.

Gill (5), coming into the side in place of K L Rahul, suffered his second failure of the game after getting beaten in the flight by Lyon. He went for an ugly hoick but ended up getting castled.

Lyon also got rid of India skipper Rohit (12), who was trapped in front after misjudging the length of the ball.

Kohli’s (13) was adjudged LBW after attempting a pull off left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann on a track offering spin and uneven bounce.

Pujara looked the most solid of the Indian batters. He used his feet brilliantly. Pujara hit the first boundary of the innings, a cover drive, by stepping out to Lyon.

He mostly played on the front foot but stayed back to put a short ball from Kuhnemann between the mid-on and mid-wicket fielder. Four balls later, he came down the track for a confident straight drive.

He was dropped on 50, a tough chance at cover, before coming up with the shot of the innings. Ishan Kishan came out with a message towards close of play. The content of that message could not be confirmed but what followed was a massive six over mid-wicket as Pujara stepped out to a rampaging Lyon.

In the morning session, the pace-spin combination of Umesh Yadav and R Ashwin ran through the Australian batting line-up.

After a rather quiet first hour, when only 30 runs were scored in 16 overs without any wicket, India lost their last six wickets for just 11 runs after starting the day at 156 for four.

Ashwin and Yadav took three wickets each to script India’s fightback after a forgettable opening day. Though India did not pick up any wicket in the first hour, they did not allow Peter Handscomb (19 off 98) and Cameron Green (21 off 57) easy runs with Mohammed Siraj and Jadeja keeping things tight.

As it has been the case throughout the series, the wickets came in a heap after India broke the resistance of Handscomb, whose ultra defensive innings came to end with an inside edge flying to Iyer at short-leg off Aswhin.

Ashwin surprisingly had to wait for almost an hour to get his first over of the day and when he did, the wily operator made the ball talk.

He got also rid of Alex Carey (3) and Lyon (5) to end with figures of three for 44 in 20.3 overs.

Umesh, who targeted the stumps successfully, trapped Green in front by getting one to straighten slightly off middle-stump in his very first over.

He cleaned up the tail by bowling fast and straight from round the wicket, leaving Mitchell Starc (1) and Toddy Murphy clueless (0).

    India vs Australia Live: Superb start for Australia!

    This has been a really impressive start for Australia. They are scoring over 5 runs per over. The batters are going for runs and that has been the best part of this innings so far. India need to keep a check on the scoring rate or this match will slip well away from their grip.

    India vs Australia Live: WICKET!

    AUS 263 & 23/1 (5.5)

  • 16:36 (IST)

    India vs Australia Live: FOUR!

    A four from the bat of Travis Head. It didn’t come from the middle of his bat, but he is not going to mind it anyway. The southpaw had danced down the track before Ashwin bowled him onto the pads. Head flicked the ball away towards the long leg boundary.

    AUS 263 & 17/0 (4.5)

  • 16:31 (IST)

    India vs Australia Live: Two fours in 3 balls!

    Travis Head has hit Mohammed Shami for two fours in three balls. This is good batting from Head. The best way to play on this surface is to keep the scoreboard ticking.

    India vs Australia Live: Australia’s innings underway!

    Usman Khawaja and Travis Head have started the Australian innings while Ravichandran Ashwin kick off the things for India.

  • 16:09 (IST)

    India vs Australia Live: India rely on Ashwin-Axar

    The ongoing partnership between R Ashwin and Axar Patel is the last batting pair for India as only Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are the batters who will come next.

  • 13:26 (IST)

  • 09:54 (IST)

India vs Australia Highlights, 1st Test: Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten on Day 2.© BCCI




India vs Australia, 1st Test Day 2 Highlights: Rohit Sharma’s 120 and 66 and 52 from Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel, respectively, helped India continue their dominance on the second day as well. India were 321 for 7 at stumps on Friday with a lead of 144 runs over the guests. Australia did a decent job with the ball with wickets at regular intervals but knocks of Rohit, Jadeja and Axar kept India in the driver’s seat throughout the day. Todd Murphy returned a five-wicket haul, but lacked support from other bowlers. On Thursday, Australia skipper Pat Cummins had won the toss and opted to bat first. Jadja’s five-wicket haul had helped India bundle out the guests for 177. (SCORECARD) 

Here are the Highlights of Day 2 of the 1st Test Match between India and Australia straight from Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur







  • 17:02 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Stumps on Day 2!

    That’s the stumps on Day 2. What a day it has been for India! They lost six wickets but have still managed to take a 144-run lead over the guests. It won’t be easy for Australia from here on for sure! And mind it, two set batters — Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel — are still there at the crease.

  • 16:48 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Fifty for Axar Patel!

    A single and Axar Patel races to his second Test fifty. After proving his mettle with the bat in the white-ball cricket, Axar is just showing how good he is with his technique also in the red-ball game. The middle-order failed to rise up to the occasion but the Indian tail is literally frustrating Australia.

    IND 314/7 (110.4)

  • 16:46 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Play resumes!

    The play has resumed…

  • 16:45 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Small stoppage in play!

    Axar Patel is having some issue on his hand. The physio is treating him at the moment and thus we have a short stoppage in play.

    IND 312/7 (110)

  • 16:21 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    A four from the willow of Axar Patel. It was a short ball from Pat Cummins and Axar guided it towards the third man fence for a four. He might not have intended to play it so fine as it eventually went, but the resulting four will definitely hurt Australia. 

    IND 296/7 (103.5)

  • 16:12 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    A fuller ball from Pat Cummins and Axar Patel drives it for a four straight down the ground. The partnership between Axar and Cummins for the eighth wicket is now of 52 now. This is a really worrying sign for Australia, who had made a good comeback earlier. 

    IND 292/7 (101.3)

  • 16:04 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    A short ball from Nathan Lyon on the off side and Axar Patel hits it square of the wicket for a four. The fielder in deep gave a jump but it went in vain as the ball comfortably won the race. 

    IND 286/7 (99.1)

  • 15:56 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    Ravindra Jadeja uses the depth of his crease brilliantly to hit a four on the off side. David Warner tried his best to stop it but the ball eventually won the race. The partnership between Jadeja and Axar Patel is of 37 runs now.  

    IND 277/7 (98)

  • 15:51 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    A half-volley from Todd Murphy and Axar Patel drives the ball from his left side for a four. This is the second four from Axar in his ongoing innings.  

    IND 271/7 (96.5)

  • 15:41 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    IND 261/7 (94.5)

  • 15:32 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Fifty for Ravindra Jadeja!

    A single and it’s the 18th Test fifty for Ravindra Jadeja. He started this game with a five-wicket haul and now scores a fifty to prove his mettle as an all-rounder. What a comeback to international cricket this has been for Jadeja so far!

    IND 257/7 (92.4)

  • 15:24 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Catch falls short!

    Axar Patel got outside edge on a delivery of Scott Boland but to his good luck the ball fell in front of second slip where Steve Smith was stationed. The Australian bowlers have done a decent job with the second new ball but they still need three wickets to bundled India out.  

    IND 251/7 (90.3)

  • 15:01 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Lucky Jadeja!

    Ravindra Jadeja is lucky once again in his ongoing innings. A Pat Cummins delivery hit him on the front pad but umpire turned down the appeal of the Australian players. Cummins went for a review and ball tracking showed that it would have definitely hit the stumps, however, the impact was on umpire’s call and that saw Jadeja survive. 

    IND 246/7 (84.2)

  • 14:57 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    Ravindra Jadeja continues to do his work. A fuller delivery from Pat Cummins outside off stump and the Indian southpaw drove it for a four from the left of the mid-off fielder.

    IND 246/7 (84.1)

  • 14:54 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!

    Another one goes down for India! Todd Murphy gets the wicket of KS Bharat and it’s a five-wicket haul for him on his debut match. Umpire was unconvinced with the LBW appeal of the Australian players, but Pat Cummins decided to go upstairs. As it turned out, the ball was found to be hitting the stumps. 

    IND 240/7 (83.1)

  • 14:46 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    Wow! Look at that shot from KS Bharat. Australia were trying to cramp him for room but the batter went for a slog sweep on the bowling of Todd Murphy to fetch a boundary. This will boost his confidence. Not a bad start for Bharat!

    IND 236/6 (81.5)

  • 14:38 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!

    Rohit Sharma is gone! It was a peach of a delivery from Pat Cummins that helped Australia get rid of the Indian skipper. It was bowled around middle stump on a good length from Cummins, the ball swung outside after pitching and hit the off stump of Rohit, who departs for a score of 120.

    IND 229/6 (80.4)

  • 14:34 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: India in control at tea!

    Tea on Day 2 and it is India all the way. Rohit Sharma has led the team by example as the hosts are 226 for the loss of five wickets. Along with Ravindra Jadeja, he steadied the innings beautifully and India will be looking to add more runs to their lead in the final session of the day.

  • 14:07 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Close call!

    Todd Murphy was just inches away from completing a maiden five-wicket haul but sadly, not at the moment. The ball crashed into Ravindra Jadeja’s pads but the replay showed clearly that the impact was slightly outside the off stump. Close call but Jadeja is save for now!

    IND 226/5 (78.4 overs)

  • 13:57 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: 200 balls faced for Rohit!

    A patient and effective innings from the India skipper. 200 balls in the innings for Rohit Sharma and if the hosts want to consolidate a massive lead, him staying at the crease will be pivotal for the plan.

    IND 223/5 (77 overs)

  • 13:53 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Boundary for Rohit!

    Rohit Sharma has been timing the ball exceptionally in this innings and a boundary off Todd Murphy was another perfect specimen of his batting. Couple of steps forward and the India skipper guided it comfortably to the mid-wicket boundary.

    IND 217/5 (75.5 overs)

  • 13:44 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: In case you missed it!

    With his 9th Test century in the ongoing match, Rohit Sharma has become the first Indian captain to score a ton across formats. Read about his record in detail HERE 

  • 13:34 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR! Lucky boundary

    Ravindra Jadeja is lucky again! It was bowled well outside off stump from Scott Boland. Jadeja went for a forward defence but a big gap between bat and pad saw him losing control and getting an outside edge. The ball hit the right hand of first slip and ran to the third man fence for a four. 

    IND 201/5 (70.1)

  • 13:29 (IST)

    IND 189/5 (67)

  • 12:55 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Century for Rohit Sharma!

    A four and with it, Rohit Sharma races to his 9th Test century. What an innings this has been from the Indian skipper! It has grit, determination and responsibility. India had bundled out Australia for a paltry total but they needed someone to hold one end tight to stay in the driver’s seat and here is their man – Rohit Sharma. 

    IND 176/5 (62.4)

  • 12:44 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!

    That’s a big blow to India. Suryakumar Yadav is gone for 8 runs off 20 balls. Nathan Lyon bowled it around the good length area and Surya committed for the drive. The ball turned viciously and went through the gap between bat and pad to hit the off stump.

    IND 168/5 (59.1)

  • 12:40 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: A unique record for Todd Murphy!

    Ian MecKiff vs SA Joburg in 1957/58

    Todd Murphy vs Ind Nagpur in 2022/23

  • 12:34 (IST)

    IND 163/4 (57.2)

  • 12:32 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: A test of Suryakumar Yadav!

    Everyone has seen how good Suryakumar Yadav is in the white-ball cricket, but his red-ball performance at the highest level is yet to be judged. He might not be getting a better opportunity than this as a set batter Rohit Sharma is at the other end to guide him and lead the innings.

    IND 163/4 (57)

  • 12:15 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!

    What a start of the second session this is for Australia! Todd Murphy has dismissed Virat Kohli on the first ball of the session. It was bowled down the leg side but an unlucky Kohli managed to get an edge on it. Wicketkeeper Alex Carey took a really good catch behind the stumps. India are four down.  

    IND 151/4 (52.1)

  • 11:37 (IST)

  • 11:15 (IST)

  • 11:08 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!

    Another big wicket and it is the third one for Todd Murphy. It’s a lucky wicket for sure but the most important thing for Australia is that they are back in the game. Murphy had bowled a delivery outside leg stump to Pujara but the batter failed to execute the sweep shot to perfection and got a top edge to see the ball flying into the hands of the short fine-leg fielder.

    IND 135/3 (44.1)

  • 10:56 (IST)

    IND 130/2 (42.1)

  • 10:45 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!

    R Ashwin is gone! Todd Murphy claims his second wicket of the innings. A good debut it is turning out to be for him. On the other hand, India have suffered a big blow in the form of Ashwin who is one of the best batters of spin bowling. Ashwin has been dismissed as LBW on the score of 23.  

    IND 118/2 (40.1)

  • 15:24 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: SO CLOSE YET SO FAR!

    Another opportunity to take a wicket for Kuldeep Yadav but the spinner was unable to complete the catch! It has hit back quite hard and although he was able to control it in the beginning, the ball bounced out of his hands!

  • 15:20 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: SOME RESPITE!

    Respite for New Zealand as they have crossed their lowest total in ODIs. The Kiwis were dismissed for 64 against Pakistan in 1986. Against India, NZ’s lowest total came in 2016 when they were all out for 79.

  • 15:12 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: CATCH DROPPED!

    A miscue from Mitchell Santner but Rohit Sharma was unable to hold on to the catch despite diving towards his right. Kuldeep Yadav is the only Indian bowler without a wicket in this game and looks like he will have to wait for a bit more.

  • 15:05 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: SHAMI STRIKES AGAIN!

    A bouncer from Shami and the danger man Michael Bracewell departs. The ball took the faintest of edges and Ishan Kishan made no mistake behind the stumps. Seventh wicket down for New Zealand!

  • 14:55 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: BRACEWELL FIGHTING BACK!

    Finally a confident boundary and it is Michael Bracewell – the cricketer who impressed everyone in the first ODI. He walked forward and slammed the ball for a boundary through the cover region. NZ 42/5

  • 14:51 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: STAT ATTACK!

    15/5 – This was the lowest score for New Zealand after the loss of five wickets in their history. Incidentally, it was also the lowest score for any side after losing five wickets in an ODI against India.

  • 14:42 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: ANOTHER MAIDEN OVER!

    Second maiden over for Hardik Pandya and New Zealand are scoring at just two runs per over. However, the two batsmen have taken an extremely safe approach till now and they are not willing to take any risks. NZ 28/5

  • 14:35 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: WELCOME BOUNDARIES!

    Two boundaries for Glenn Phillips and one for Michael Bracewell! It has been a disappointing start for New Zealand in the ongoing encounter but with last match’s start Bracewell at the crease, the fans will surely be hoping for a steady innings.

  • 14:26 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: NZ FIVE DOWN!

    A slight outside edge and that is the end of skipper Tom Latham. Shardul Thakur did not take long to join the party as Shubman Gill completed his second catch at slips. NZ 15/5 after 10.3 overs.

  • 14:23 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: PANDYA STRIKES!

    A brilliant catch from Hardik Pandya and everything is going wrong for New Zealand. Not a single batsman has crossed the 10-run mark for NZ and Devon Conway becomes the latest to lose his wicket. NZ 15/4 after 10 overs.

  • 14:15 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: HORRIBLE START FOR NZ!

    10 for the loss of three wickets after eight overs – This has been a horrible start for New Zealand. The batsmen have looked helpless against the pace attack and this can be bad news for the visitors as the game progresses.

  • 14:06 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: SECOND SCALP FOR SHAMI!

    Caught and bowled! Mohammed Shami simply can do wrong as he dismisses Daryl Mitchell for just 1. A miscue from the batsman and Shami completed an impressive reflex catch to take his second wicket of the game.

  • 14:01 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: IT IS SIRAJ TIME!

    Mohammed Siraj joins the party and it is getting worse for New Zealand! A length delivery from the fast bowler and Henry Nicholls ended up edging it straight to Shubman Gill at first slip!

  • 13:55 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: NZ CLUELESS!

    The New Zealand batsmen have been struggling to get going against an impressive fast bowling display from the Indian pacers. Both Henry Nicholls and Devon Conway has been cautious in their approach but the lack of runs can increase the pressure on the duo considerably.

  • 13:47 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: DISCIPLINED SHOW!

    Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are bowling brilliantly as the New Zealand batsmen are unable to score off them. It has been a highly disciplined show till now as NZ are 5/1 after 3 overs.

  • 13:38 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: MAIDEN OVER!

    Brilliant start for India as Mohammed Shami was able to get the first wicket of the game early and he did not concede a single run. A rare wicket maiden at the very start of the encounter!

  • 13:35 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: SHAMI STRIKES!

    What a delivery from Mohammed Shami. A hint of movement from the fast bowler and Finn Allen was completely foxed by the delivery. The ball crashed straight into the stumps and New Zealand are 0/1 after the first over.

  • 13:12 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: HERE ARE THE TEAMS!

    India: Rohit Sharma (capt.), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Ishan Kishan (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj

  • 13:09 (IST)

    IND vs NZ: ROHIT WINS TOSS!

    Rohit won the toss but forgot what to do. He finally decides India are going to bowl first.

    “There has been talk within the team that they want to challenge themselves under the lights too but for today they had decided to bowl. And amid all that talk, he forgot what was actually decided,” he said at the toss.

    Both teams remain unchanged
