Join Hemant for the chase soon, as both teams seek a 1-0 lead. It should be a close contest.

Gowtham : "Wonderful match awareness by Sundar @48.5! Fine leg comes in, the next ball he plays that lapshot! Great to see him bat like this after that iconic Aussie test series!"

Sundar after his exploits: "All the work I put in worked today. There is some program that needs to be done before the ball is bowled, but there are instincts too... It's very important to get the timing right, despite the power. It's a par score."

Jay: "Good innings by Sundar, has done the job india would have wanted Samson to do today!"

6.12pm Sundar has made all the difference here: 37* off 16 balls. No Pandya, Jadeja and Axar playing today as finishers, and Sundar stepped up from No. 7 to play like Suresh Raina. Iyer's 80 and Samson's crucial 36 came on the back of a solid platform laid by Dhawan and Gill's 124-run stand, although whether that took long will surely be debated along.

Southee to Thakur, OUT, superb catch by Latham! He leapt high, with his left hand stretched, as the ball landed right there. Thakur swung almost wildly for the leg side, with Southee slowing down the pace yet again. It was a length ball all right, but Thakur was too early in his shot, with the ball taking off from his top edge

Southee to Washington Sundar, 1 run, fuller length on middle, and pushes him back in the crease. Tucked to long-on

Southee to Washington Sundar, FOUR, the shot of the day perhaps! Southee bowls another cutter, and gets this good length ball to angle in. It ended very close to off, but Sundar made room and lofted that with high elbows over extra cover

Around the stumps to Sundar

Southee to Thakur, 1 run, looks to scoop, but that came off the inside half of the bat and zoomed to square leg. Fullish ball outside off, and Thakur knows what he must do with only four balls left

In comes Thakur. He can whack a few.

Southee to Iyer, OUT, finds deep midwicket! It was the longer side of the ground, with Conway standing a few steps inside the rope. Southee banged it short on middle and off, and Iyer pulled but couldn't clear that side as it was a slower ball too. A solid knock comes to an end though, as he stayed on till the end

SS Iyer c Conway b Southee 80 (122m 76b 4x4 4x6) SR: 105.26

Southee to Iyer, 2 runs, lofts that unconvincingly towards long-on. Length ball around middle, and he went heaving but mistimed that

300 a mere formality now, as Southee returns

Henry to Washington Sundar, SIX, Sundar is playing a gem here! Crashes a pull over deep midwicket now. Gets a short of a length on middle and off, and gets that front leg out of the way to create room and crush that for six

Henry to Washington Sundar, FOUR, some Pant in that Sundar scoop! Got across and very wide of off, and stayed low to convert that ball into a low full toss. Four over short fine leg
