India v. New Zealand - Tests.

[Pies4shaw]

It’s hard to see NZ making India bat twice on this pitch unless someone with extreme skill digs right in.

[Donny]

6/285 at lunch.

Agarwal 146*, Patel 32*, Ajaz Patel 6/103.

[Pies4shaw]

Agarwal gone for 150. Ajaz has all 7 - and if the Captain had heeded his pleas for a review of a turned-down lbw against Jayant would have had 8. No NZ bowler has ever taken 8 in an innings against India - not even Sir Richard (although he did take 7/23 one time).

[Pies4shaw]

7/310. Axar Patel has his 50. He’s 51*.

[Pies4shaw]

And now Ajaz has 9 out of 9 (for 321).

[Pies4shaw]

All out 325. And Patel took all 10.

One for the record books - he's just the third bowler in Test history to take all 10 wickets in an innings. Laker 10/53 v Australia in 1956 and Kumble 10/74 v Pakistan in 1999. Now Ajaz Patel 47.5 overs, 12 maidens, 10/119. Magnificent effort, made all the better because no-one else in the lineup looked capable of getting a wicket.

[Pies4shaw]

NZ 2/15. Both openers are gone, so we're into the tail, now. This is a worry for NZ because the spinners haven't even picked up the ball in anger, yet.

There's an lbw on Mitchell, now. NZ is reviewing.

[Pies4shaw]

Not out - the ball was just going over the top of middle stump. So, it's still 2/15.

[Donny]

Siraj 3/14.

NZ 3/22.

[Donny]

Axar on. Wicket. Mitchell out.

4/27.

NZ trails India by 298 runs with 6 wickets remaining.

[Pies4shaw]

Ashin gets one first ball. 5/31. India should have declared on their overnight score - the game'd be finished by now.

Well, not quite - but you know what I mean.

[Pies4shaw]

6/38. Tea.

Axar, Ashwin and Jayant each got a wicket in their first over.

[Pies4shaw]

Blundell gone. NZ 7/53. Ashwin has 2.

[Donny]

Ashwin takes a wicket with his first ball.

Now. 7/53. Ashwin 2/5.

[Pies4shaw]

Southee goes second ball. 8/53. Ashwin has 3, now.
