WTC Final India vs New Zealand Highlight: Resuming on 101/2, the Kiwis played out the first hour of the day safely before Ishant and Shami got into the act to have NZ 135/5 at the lunch interval. With the second new ball, Ishant and Shami continued the good work and bundled out New Zealand for 249, conceding a 32-run lead. In response, India lost Shubman Gill early, as he trapped LBW by Southree for just 8, but eventually managed to inch to a second-innings lead. Virat Kohli (8*) and Pujara (12*) took India to 64/2 after 30 overs, meaning India lead by 32 runs by the end of the day's play....Read More

THANK YOU!

That's all we have for you today from the WTC final. Thank you so much for joining us. Until tomorrow, it's goodnight.

However, sporting action does not stop here. My colleague and I will be bringing you the two UEFA Euro blogs starting now. So, head over to see England and Croatia in action. See you? See you!

June 22, 2021 11:33 PM IST

STUMPS!

STUMPS ON DAY 5! Virat Kohli (8*) and Pujara (12*) take India to 64/2 after 30 overs, meaning India lead by 32 runs.


June 22, 2021 11:26 PM IST

KOHLI HIT ON THE HELMET

OUCH! You never see Kohli hit flush on the helmet by he is unable to negotiate this bouncer from Southee. The ball flies over the slip cordon for 4 leg-byes.

Kohli responds by flicking the ball through deep mid-wicket for three.

June 22, 2021 11:18 PM IST

Virat Kohli walks in

Skipper Virat Kohli is the new man in. India are 51/2.

June 22, 2021 11:18 PM IST

SECOND INDIA OPENER GONE

OUT! Southee strikes again as Rohit Sharma is trapped LBW. The ball pitches outside off, swings back in. Sharma had offered no shot and the replay shows that ball would have clipped the stumps. Sharma didn't even review it.

June 22, 2021 11:13 PM IST

WTC Final Day 5 Live Score

Southee reintroduced into the attack. Very dark clouds loom over the Rose Bowl as play continues under lights.

June 22, 2021 11:10 PM IST

FIFTY UP FOR INDIA

FOUR! Pujara dealing in boundaries as fifty comes up for India. Wagner strays down the leg, Pujara flicks off his pads and big man Jamieson, at fine leg, is unable to get down on time to save the ball.

June 22, 2021 11:06 PM IST

Few words?

What's the chatter about? Jamieson and Rohit Sharma seem to be exchanging a few words and they don't sound too nice. I could be wrong. In case I am, please don't hold it against me. India are 47/1 after 25 overs.

June 22, 2021 11:01 PM IST

India vs New Zealand, WTC Final

Rohit closing in on the 30s. He is batting on 27 at the moment. In the previous over, he had a scare when he pushed hard at a Jamieson delivery, which was his undoing in the first innings. India are 45/1 after 24 overs.

June 22, 2021 10:53 PM IST

FLOOD LIGHTS AND WAGNER ON

Well, a couple of changes at the Rose Bowl. Flood lights are switched on and Williamson brings on Neil Wagner, hoping to find another wicket or two before the close of play. India are 41/1 after 21 overs.

June 22, 2021 10:45 PM IST

ICYMI: Southee's wicket of Gill

Pujara's first boundary of the innings

FOUR! Oh, hello! Out of nowhere. Overpitched around middle stump from Boult and Puajara present the full face of the bat to hit the ball towards the long-on boundary for four. After 20 overs, India are 39/1

June 22, 2021 10:37 PM IST

Agree with DK?

Dinesh Karthik, at the start of India's innings, had said that they need to treat the remainder of this game like a four-session match. Bat well for two and bowl well for 2. Practically possible? We'll find out. Meanwhile, Jamieson continue as Southee, from the looks of it, heads into the dressing room.

June 22, 2021 10:35 PM IST

WTC Final

About an hour to go and highly unlikely that the remaining 22 overs will fit in. How long will India bat for? How many runs are enough?

June 22, 2021 10:33 PM IST

New Zealand continue to pile pressure

Just two off the over as Sharma's leading edge allows him to run two.

June 22, 2021 10:28 PM IST

India take 2nd innings lead

SECOND INNINGS LEAD! Rohit Sharma pulls to take a single and take India into the lead. India are 33/1 after 16 overs.

June 22, 2021 10:25 PM IST

India vs New Zealand Live

Trent Boult resumes the proceedings after the drinks break. Sharma on strike.

June 22, 2021 10:21 PM IST

SCORES LEVEL. PLAYERS TAKE DRINKS

India are 32/1 after 15 overs. Players will now take drinks. Sharma unbeaten on 19. Scores are level.

June 22, 2021 10:16 PM IST

Risky Rohit

UP BUT SAFE! Sharma, who loves to hook, is rushed into the shot by Boult but the ball, after hitting the top edge, falls well short of fine leg.

Three! Pujara flicks the ball off his pads through mid-wicket for three.

After 14 overs, India are 32/1

June 22, 2021 10:14 PM IST

How many will India get?

About 45 minutes to go in this day's play. How many more will India get in this last phase of play?

June 22, 2021 10:07 PM IST

MILESTONE MAN SOUTHEE

MAIDEN! A tight over from Jamieson.

Trivia: That was Southee's 600th international wicket across formats. He is the second Kiwi player to do so, after Daniel Vettori.

June 22, 2021 10:03 PM IST

India vs New Zealand, WTC Final: Pujara off the mark straight away

It took him 36 balls to get off the mark in the first innings, but just the one ball here in the second. Clips the ball to square leg. India 27/1, trail New Zealand by five runs

June 22, 2021 10:01 PM IST

OUT! Gill out LBW

Gone! That is plumb. Plenty of swing from Southee and with Gill playing across the line and missing it altogether, it was stone dead. Walks over to his partner at the other end to ask if he should review it and we assume Rohit was straightforward in telling him that those were three reds. India 24/1, trail by 7 runs.

June 22, 2021 10:00 PM IST

Southee to Gill: Shot

Once again, nice timing from Shubman Gill but the ball goes straight to mid-on. Just not finding the right gaps the India youngster.

June 22, 2021 9:52 PM IST

Gill growing in confidence

After a watchful start, Shubman Gill is showing signs of confidence. He's just played a couple of crisp shots which although did not get him boundaries, did indicate that the ball is hitting the middle of his bat. New Zealand sense what is happening and waste no time to introduce Kyle Jamieson into the attack, who in the first innings rocked India. He starts by over-stepping.

June 22, 2021 9:45 PM IST

FOUR more

Just straying the ball into Rohit's legs and the India opener flicks it behind for a four towards fine leg, where Jamieson, who is six foot eight inches tall cannot stop the four. The ball just beginning to lose a bit of swing India 15/0 after 8 overs

June 22, 2021 9:38 PM IST

Boult to Rohit: FOUR

Room on offer and Rohit Sharma slashes it through the cover point region to bring up his and India's first four of the second innings. They reach 11/0 after six overs.

June 22, 2021 9:30 PM IST

IND vs NZ WTC Final: Boult testing Gill with his in-swing

This was always going to be the test for Shubman Gill, facing Trent Boult with the swinging new ball. So far, the left-arm quick has been on target, bowling in the middle-leg channel, which Gill has no other option than playing at.

June 22, 2021 9:21 PM IST

Could this be the difference?

India's last four wickets: 35 runs

New Zealand's last four wickets: 87 runs

June 22, 2021 9:16 PM IST

IND vs NZ Live Score: First runs

The ball takes the outer half of the bat and goes towards the vacant third man region but without enough power. Rohit and Gill run three.

June 22, 2021 9:15 PM IST

Openers Rohit, Gill walk out

If no further rain interruption, India should have around 40 overs to bat out. It'll be very fascinating to see how India react in their second innings? Will the openers play their natural game like they did in the first dig? Or will we see a more aggressive approach? Do not miss this period, guys.

June 22, 2021 9:13 PM IST

As always, Aakash Chopra right on point

June 22, 2021 9:02 PM IST

Tea taken, India have one whole session to bat out today

With the sun out, conditions look ideal for batting. This session is what can make or break India's chances of winning this Test match. With four sessions and two whole innings remaining in the game, it would be interesting to see what approach India take today? Would they want to share the WTC title, or do they want it entirely for themselves. We feel it's the latter.

June 22, 2021 8:54 PM IST

WTC Final Day 5 Live Score: New Zealand all out for 249

That's the final wicket. Jadeja gets Southee and New Zealand end their first innings with a lead of 32 runs. Four wickets for Shami, three for Ishant, two for Ashwin and Jadeja gets one.

June 22, 2021 8:52 PM IST

Jadeja to Southee: SIX

A massive hit. Southee clears the boundary comfortably and with ease. New Zealand now ahead by 31. Every run is going to hurt India from this moment.

June 22, 2021 8:40 PM IST

WICKET! Ashwin gets Wagner, NZ nine down

A perfect off-spinner's dismissal. Off the top edge of the bat and Rahane takes the catch off the re-bound. he has been terrific against the left-handers and he removes another one here.

June 22, 2021 8:34 PM IST

Ishant to Southee: SIX

Only the second six of the match after Jamieson's hit earlier in the day. Also, do you know that with that, he is now New Zealand's second most six hitter in Tests, next only to Chris Cairns. No way is he a tail-ender. Heck, he has more sixes in Test matches than Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting, and just three away from equalling MS Dhoni. Now let that sink in.

June 22, 2021 8:29 PM IST

India vs New Zealand, WTC Final: GONE! What a wicket to get

That's right. India would be pumped with this one as it's Kane Williamson who falls for 49. Ishant Sharma with his second wicket. Edged and Virat Kohli takes the catch. And how do you think he celebrated? Well, your guess is as good as ours. India are over the moon. New Zealand eight down for 221 and with the lead not enough, India's pacer would... sorry, need to take the remaining two wickets in the next five overs.

June 22, 2021 8:23 PM IST

India vs New Zealand, WTC Final: New Zealand in the LEAD

A couple of runs tapped down to third leg puts New Zealand ahead. They lead India by three runs and every run scored from here on promises to sting Virat Kohli's team. Then again, with one and a half day left, anything can happen.

June 22, 2021 8:08 PM IST

FOUR RUNS OFF THE UPPER BACK!

OUCH BUT FOUR! Hope Southee is okay as he picks up four leg-byes. Shami's well-directed bouncer forces Southee to awkwardly duck. The ball clips off Southee's upper back and runs to the fence. They'll take whatever they get.

IN THE AIR..IN THE AIR....AND SAFE! Southee top-edges the ball which flies over point to no man's land. The duo run 2.

NZ are 211/7 after 91 overs.

June 22, 2021 8:07 PM IST

New Zealand nearing India's total

TWO! Southee takes on Bumrah as lifts the ball over the infield through the mid-on region. The slow outfield does not allow the ball to trickle down to the fence. Batsmen run a couple. NZ are 205/7 after 90 overs.

June 22, 2021 8:03 PM IST

IND vs NZ WTC Final: NEW ZEALAND REACH 200

FOUR! Shami strays down the leg and Williamson is too good to not help the ball on its way to the boundary.

NZ are 202/7 after 89 overs.

June 22, 2021 7:58 PM IST

SOUTHEE SURIVIVES

Tim Southee is the new man in. Bumrah attacks Southee's stumps on the first four balls and the latter manages to get his bat down on time every single time..

JUST SHORT! This time, the ball is pitched at yorker length just outside off. Southee pokes at it and edges the ball to slips on the bounce. Rohit Sharma does well to collect the ball and avoid it from rolling past it for NZ runs.

2 runs- Southee flicks a full-toss on the pads to get off the mark.

June 22, 2021 7:54 PM IST

GONE! SHAMI WINS THE BATTLE

OUT! The mini battle is won by Shami. Pitche sit short, angling sharply towards Jamieson. The lanky Kiwi player plays the pull, finds the top edge and ends up holing out to Jasprit Bumrah at fine leg. New Zealand are 192/7 after 87 overs. Jamison gone for 21 off 16 balls.

June 22, 2021 7:51 PM IST

India vs New Zealand Live: Jamieson makes his intent clear

FOUR! That's a lovely shot from Williamson. He's more of a backfoot player and on this occasion, he pulled Shami with ease to find a boundary.

BOUNCER to Jamieson! As Dinesh Karthik rightly points out on air, it must have taken immense effort for Shami to bowl a bouncer to Jamieson and also beat him.

SIX! What a response from the 6'8" man. Shami overpitches the ball this time, Kyle makes room and thumps the ball over long on for six.

June 22, 2021 7:49 PM IST

Shami, the star so far on Day 5

India opening the door with three wickets in the session. Shami has been the star of the show so far. Started with Taylor, followed by Watling and the CDG. Williamson showing signs of some issues with his elbow, which kept him out of the second Test against England

June 22, 2021 7:42 PM IST

Ah! So close for India

India retain their review, but Williamson survives. Shami squared up the NZ skipper and rapped him on his back leg. Umpire Richard Illingworth signalled not out but it was close enough to convince Kohli to go upstairs. The ball tracker showed the ball hitting the stumps not entirely so the umpire's call overpowers them all. But what an over from Shami. He surely is tilting this game in India's favour.

June 22, 2021 7:37 PM IST

WTC Final: Four consecutive 2s for New Zealand

Well that's an oddity. Where run scoring has been difficult, Jamieson and Williamson squeeze four consecutive doubles for New Zealand.

June 22, 2021 7:32 PM IST

Jamieson goes after Ishant

Not once, not twice, but thrice in one over as Jamison shown his intention of going after the Indian bowling, in this case, Ishant Sharma. Also, with Ishant bowling to Jamieson, two of world cricket's tallest cricketers are up against each other. How about a picture of these two together after the match?

June 22, 2021 7:26 PM IST

India strike with 2nd new ball

BOWLED HIM! Shami picks up his 3rd wicket and Colin de Grandhomme heads back. New Zealand 162/6.
