Kohli calls his team into a huddle. They should be telling themselves the game is far from done. By the way, no Shami in the huddle. Gill is substituting for him.

New Zealand have asked for the heavy roller as they now look to come out and chase what is a tricky target. Yesterday, they'd gone for a light one before start of play.

Mujtaba: "Game of small margins here. Keep an eye out for the seven-run lead and 16 run last wicket stand."

India have added 34 more for the loss of four wickets this morning. On paper, this may seem a modest target to defend but with the kind of seam movement that there is on offer, India's seamers will fancy their chances of nipping out a few and set the cat among the pigeons.

Vihari tickled one down leg, Pant out poking at an away-swinger, Shami, as you'd expect, out swinging and Bumrah run out.

At 72 for 3, with Pujara and Rahane trying to fight for every run, India would've entertained thoughts of setting New Zealand 200 or thereabouts. But Rahane's wicket cracked the game open to expose India's lower order.

Boult to Jadeja, OUT, oh, dear. Absolute mess-up in the running. Jadeja didn't want the single as he tucked it gently into the leg side, Bumrah was halfway down when he was sent back. Boult quick to hare across and fire a throw to Williamson, who had run in from mid-on. Bumrah had no chance. New Zealand need 132 to take the series 2-0

JJ Bumrah run out 4 (14m 8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 50.00
