It was a length ball on off stump and moved away just a fraction, Williamson hung his bat out and only nicked it through to Rishabh Pant. India got rid of the big fish and while Bumrah was elated, Virat Kohl was absolutely pumped up. He flayed his arms all over and screamed out in delight. India were right on top and despite the late rearguard action by Kyle Jamieson and Neil Wagner, the visitors managed to get a slender lead of 7 runs.

“I was expecting him (Wagner) to score towards deep square leg. But I didn’t expect the ball to come at that pace. It came so quickly with the wind and I just stuck my hand out. I didn’t even realise when I took the catch. We bowled well as a unit. We will look to bat well and bowl them out again,” Jadeja told the host broadcasters immediately after the innings.

India dismissed New Zealand for 235 and in the process, earned a slender lead of 7 runs. The pitch has quickened up considerably and the task will be cut out for the Indian batting order in the second innings.
