Meanwhile, Football fans in India would've woken up to news of Chennaiyin FC's fairytale run in the ISL.

Prakhar Dawer: "India's struggle with the tail continues but let's not take anything away from Jamieson who has been absolutely brilliant with the bat today. Proper technique and brilliant execution, just what New Zealand needed after the middle order collapsed."

4.10pm How crucial will those runs from Jamieson prove to be? He is currently the second-highest run-scorer (93 runs) and second-highest wicket-taker (9 wkts)

4.00pm India needed a big effort from their bowlers and they have delivered to help grab a small lead. Shami led the sensational turnaround by turning in two high-intensity spells on either side of lunch to grab the game by the scruff of the neck. Bumrah showed glimpses of his old form returning too, which augers well.

In between all this, Jadeja too not just contributed but stood out with his catching. He removd Taylor with his typical street-smarts, and then took two excellent catches, none better than the one he took at deep square, to dismiss Wagner to break a half-century stand just as India were beginning to go 'here we go again....'

The batsmen have a big task ahead of them if India are to make a match of this. Join us for the final session in 20 minutes.

Mohammed Shami to Jamieson, OUT, straight up in the air, brilliant catch by Pant running back and then sideways as this swirled. Jamieson will have to wait for a maiden Test fifty. This was banged in short, Jamieson went for the pull, this went a long, long way up and Pant had to run a good 30 yards or so to his right. Then he put in the dive to complete the catch. Superb effort. India grab a very slender lead and that's tea on day two.

Bumrah to Jamieson, no run, the grille of the helmet takes a beating and falls as Jamieson is cops a blow by a ripper of a bouncer. Jamieson seems okay, the helmet is off. He's moving his head alright, but there are concerns. He has to go through the mandatory concussion protocols.

Mohammed Shami to Wagner, OUT, outstanding from Jadeja! You wouldn't have been wrong in looking at the boundary thinking it'd be six. But no, because there's a superman called Sir Jadeja. He was three-fourths to the rope at deep square, and so he had to leap high, which he did. Then he put his left hand out instinctively and it stuck. The balance after it got stuck was even better. At no stage did he try to juggle or lose control over the ball. Incredible.
